Goddiva One Shoulder Puffed Satin Sleeve Evening Maxi Dress - Blue - 12

This dress is ideal for special occasions like evening galas, cocktail parties, weddings, anniversaries, and any formal event where you want to make a sophisticated fashion statement.

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements. As this is a UK size 12, ensure you compare your bust, waist, and hip measurements to the chart provided by Goddiva.

While alterations are possible, modifying the dramatic puffed sleeve design should be done by a professional tailor to ensure the integrity and intended aesthetic of the dress are maintained.

The royal blue hue is designed to be sophisticated and rich. While screen settings can vary, the color aims for a deep, elegant blue as depicted.

Due to the one-shoulder design, a strapless bra or a specialized undergarment that doesn't interfere with the neckline is recommended. Nude or seamless options are usually best.

Satin fabric itself typically has little to no stretch. The fit of the dress relies on its cut and silhouette (like the mermaid hem) rather than fabric elasticity.

Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting, or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If necessary, iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth on the lowest heat setting.

If hand-washed, ensure thorough rinsing to remove all detergent. If dry-cleaned, consult the cleaner about fabric softening options. Gentle steaming can also help restore some suppleness.

Avoid pulling or stretching the fabric excessively. For minor strain, gentle steaming may help. For significant issues, consult a professional tailor for reinforcement.
