Goddiva One Shoulder Cowl Neck Chiffon Floral Maxi Dress - Blue - UK Size 16

This dress is ideal for formal and semi-formal special occasions such as weddings (as a guest), galas, evening soirees, cocktail parties, and other elegant events where you want to make a sophisticated statement.

To maintain a sleek look, a strapless bra, adhesive bra cups, or silicone pasties are recommended. Avoid traditional bras with visible straps.

It is best to hand wash the dress in cold water with a mild detergent. If using a machine, select a delicate cycle and place the dress in a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry, laying flat or hanging on a padded hanger, and avoid tumble drying.

The fishtail hem is designed to add dramatic movement and flow, rather than restrict it. It typically allows for comfortable walking and dancing while creating an elegant visual effect.

Yes, a professional tailor experienced with delicate fabrics like chiffon can typically alter the length of the dress. However, ensure the tailor understands the fishtail hem design to maintain its intended shape.

The dress is made from 100% Polyester chiffon, which gives it its lightweight, flowing, and ethereal quality.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a garment steamer. For persistent wrinkles, gently iron on the lowest heat setting from the inside out.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's size chart. If between sizes, consider sizing up for comfort with bodycon styles. Minor alterations may be possible by a professional tailor.

Chiffon is delicate. Handle the dress with care, avoiding contact with rough surfaces, sharp jewelry, or velcro. For minor snags, gently try to ease the pulled thread back into place using a fine needle. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor.

Ensure your undergarments provide adequate support and that the dress is the correct size. If it's slightly too loose, a small, discreet fabric gripper or a tiny stitch by a tailor could help secure it.
