FAQs
What type of bra should be worn with this dress?
Due to the sweetheart neckline and embellished straps, a low-back or strapless bra is often recommended. Consider adhesive bra cups for a seamless look if desired.
How should I choose my size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. The bandage knit offers some flexibility, but precise sizing is key for the intended sculpted fit.
Can the embellishments be removed for cleaning?
It is not advisable to remove the embellishments. They are integrated into the design, and attempting removal could damage the dress. Professional cleaning is the best approach.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress measures approximately 144cm in length, designed to be a maxi-length garment.
Is the front split suitable for all heights?
The front split is designed to offer both style and ease of movement. Its placement is intended to be flattering and functional for a maxi dress.
What occasions is this dress most suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as black-tie galas, evening weddings, awards ceremonies, and other sophisticated formal gatherings.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight
The stretch-infused bandage knit is designed for a close fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If slightly tight, allow the fabric to adapt to your body temperature and movement during wear.
Embellishments appear loose
Carefully inspect the embellished areas. If any beads or crystals are loose, professional repair is recommended to secure them properly, preventing further detachment.
Creasing after storage
Hang the dress immediately after removing it from storage. If creases persist, use a garment steamer on a very low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the fabric and embellishments, or consult a professional cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
