FAQs

What type of undergarments are recommended for this dress?

Due to the low open back, low-profile seamless undergarments, adhesive bras, or backless solutions are generally recommended. Ensure they do not show through the fabric or interfere with the dress's design.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, the maxi length offers some coverage. For cooler temperatures, consider layering with a stylish shawl, cardigan, or a fitted jacket.

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

This dress is ideal for weddings, cocktail parties, evening events, summer gatherings, and other occasions where an elegant yet comfortable look is desired.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and compare your measurements to the provided guide. The UK size 18 is specified, but checking a general size chart for BARDOT is advised.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The description does not explicitly state the fabric has significant stretch. However, the gathers and flowing skirt suggest a comfortable fit. It is best to rely on accurate measurements for sizing.

What is the return policy for this dress?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific terms and conditions of the store where you purchased the dress for details on returns and exchanges.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel insecure or too loose/tight.

Adjust the tie-back straps carefully, ensuring they are snug but not constricting. If the length is an issue, consider a subtle alteration or ensure the knot is tied securely.

Dress hemline is too long.

The dress can be hemmed by a professional tailor to achieve the desired length. Alternatively, wearing heels or wedges will elevate the hemline.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid high heat.

The lining feels uncomfortable or shifts.

Ensure the dress is the correct size. Minor shifting can sometimes be resolved by a careful tug or by wearing smoother undergarments.
