FAQs

What is the primary material of the dress?

The dress is primarily made of polyester, featuring stretch fabric for a contoured fit.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has an elegant midi length, falling approximately 106cm.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the delicate crystal embellishment, the dress must be dry cleaned only. Avoid washing machines or hand washing.

Can I wear this dress in warm weather?

While the polyester fabric is used, the extensive embellishment and form-fitting style might make it feel warmer. It is best suited for evening events or cooler climates.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

A seamless, nude-colored bra and shapewear that complements the body-conscious fit would be most suitable to maintain a smooth silhouette.

How should I accessorize this dress?

The dress's embellishment is a strong feature. Consider minimalist jewelry such as delicate earrings and a simple bracelet. Clear or metallic strappy heels and a coordinating clutch complete the look.

Is the crystal embellishment durable?

The crystals are meticulously applied, but like all embellishments, they require careful handling to prevent snagging or detachment. Avoid rough surfaces and direct friction.

Troubleshooting

Crystals become loose or detach

Carefully inspect the garment. If a few crystals are loose, they may be reattached by a professional tailor or seamstress experienced with embellishments. For significant damage, consult a specialist dry cleaner.

Dress appears creased after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance, focusing on the fabric and avoiding direct contact with the crystals. Professional steaming is the safest option.

Discoloration of the fabric or crystals

This may be due to improper cleaning or exposure to certain substances. Ensure you adhere strictly to the 'Dry Clean Only' instruction and avoid contact with perfumes or lotions directly on the embellished areas before wearing.

Care Instructions:
