FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

Yes, the dress is designed to be a true-to-size fit, and the added stretch in the fabric allows for a comfortable, contoured feel.

Can I iron this dress?

No. Heat from an iron will melt the sequins and damage the fabric. If the dress requires de-wrinkling, use a professional steamer at a low setting, ensuring you keep the steamer head away from the sequin surface.

What is the primary material?

The dress is made from high-quality polyester, which is chosen for its durability and ability to hold the sequin embellishments securely.

Does the dress include a lining?

Yes, it is fully lined to ensure comfort against the skin and to maintain the garment's opaque and structured finish.

Is this dress suitable for outdoor events?

While appropriate for garden parties or evening outdoor events, be cautious of surfaces that may snag the sequins, such as rough furniture or foliage.

How should I clean the dress if I spill something on it?

Do not attempt to spot-clean the sequins yourself as this can cause discoloration. Consult a professional dry cleaner immediately to discuss the stain.

Troubleshooting

Sequin has come loose

Do not pull at the loose thread. Take the garment to a professional tailor who specializes in formal wear for a secure repair.

Difficulty with the concealed zip

Ensure no fabric or lining is caught in the teeth. Move the slider up and down slowly while holding the fabric taut to clear any obstructions.

Dress feels tight despite choosing correct size

Verify the undergarments worn are seamless; bulky items can interfere with the structured fit of the dress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the best from your Self-Portrait dress involves proper preparation and storage:

  • Storage: Always store the dress hanging in a breathable garment bag to prevent sequins from snagging on other items in your closet.
  • Compatibility: This item runs true to size. Ensure you check your measurements against standard UK sizing to confirm the best fit for your frame.
  • Maintenance: Because this garment features extensive embellishments, it is strictly dry-clean only. Avoid attempting to machine wash or tumble dry, as the heat and agitation will damage the sequins and the integrity of the fabric.
  • Travel: If transporting the dress, use a padded hanger and a dedicated garment cover to protect the embellishments from pressure damage.
