Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this dress appropriate for a black-tie event?

Yes, its floor-length, dramatic silhouette and architectural design are specifically intended for black-tie affairs, summer weddings, and formal evening events.

Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?

Due to the open back and halterneck design, a standard bra will be visible. We recommend adhesive cups or specialty backless undergarments.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is crafted from a high-quality, woven crinkle georgette fabric that provides both volume and fluidity.

Does the dress have a lining?

Yes, the gown is fully lined to ensure opacity and comfort while wearing.

How should I store this garment to prevent damage?

Store the dress in a breathable garment bag, preferably on a padded hanger, to protect the delicate fabric from snagging or stretching.

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed to have a sculpted, fitted bodice. Ensure you check your measurements against our sizing chart, noting the specific UK sizing provided.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled or crushed

The dress uses crinkle georgette, which has a natural texture. Do not iron. If heavy creases occur, hang in a steamy bathroom or consult a professional cleaner for light steaming.

Hem dragging on the ground

If the 160cm length is too long, take the dress to a professional tailor who specializes in formal wear to preserve the delicate layers of the georgette hem.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and architectural design
  • High-quality, fluid crinkle georgette fabric
  • Sculpted fit through the bodice and waist
  • Unique cape-like back detailing
  • Fully lined for comfort and opacity

Cons

  • Dry-clean only maintenance required
  • Floor-length design may require hemming for shorter heights
  • Delicate fabric susceptible to snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Styling: Due to the open back, select adhesive or low-back undergarments to ensure a clean silhouette.
  • Footwear: The dress measures 160cm; consider the height of your heels carefully to prevent stepping on the hem during movement.
  • Care Instructions: As this is made from delicate crinkle georgette, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the texture of the fabric and the integrity of the ruched detailing.
  • Storage: Store flat or on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to avoid weight-based stretching or snagging on the fabric.
