FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for special occasions such as evening events, parties, weddings, and formal dinners due to its sophisticated design.

How should I care for the sateen fabric?

The sateen fabric should ideally be dry cleaned only to maintain its luster and prevent damage. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Can the drama sleeves be altered?

While alterations are possible, it is recommended to consult a professional tailor experienced with delicate fabrics and complex designs to ensure the sleeve's structure is maintained.

What type of undergarments are best?

Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Consider a strapless or convertible bra depending on the neckline and sleeve style.

How does the UK size 6 fit?

The UK size 6 is a standard small size. For detailed measurements, refer to the brand's specific size chart if available.

Are the studded details durable?

The studded details are designed for aesthetic appeal. Handle the garment with care to avoid snagging or dislodging the studs.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes or consult professional dry cleaning for gentle steaming.

Studded details feel loose.

Contact customer service for advice on repair options. Avoid attempting to re-secure them yourself as this may cause damage.
