FAQs

What is the length of this dress?

The dress is approximately 126cm in length, falling as a midi style on most frames.

Is this suitable for a traditional wedding?

While intended as a contemporary alternative for civil ceremonies or modern brides, it is an excellent choice for any formal event where a tailored, chic aesthetic is desired.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this garment is made of delicate satin and must be dry cleaned to preserve the fabric and structured shape.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes, the two patch pockets at the hip are designed to be functional, adding to the couture-inspired tuxedo silhouette.

Does the dress have any stretch?

As a tailored piece made from satin, the dress has minimal stretch. It is designed for a structured, fitted look.

Troubleshooting

Buttons feel loose after repeated wear

Check the stitching on the back of the buttons periodically; if loose, have them reinforced by a professional tailor.

Fabric shows wrinkles or creases

Use a professional garment steamer on a low, delicate setting. Do not press the iron directly onto the satin as it may cause shine marks.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in top condition, adhere to the following care instructions:

  1. Storage: Hang the dress on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder dimples or fabric distortion.
  2. Cleaning: This garment is crafted from satin and should be professionally dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron or a professional garment steamer on a low setting. Always steam from a distance to avoid water spotting on the satin fabric.
  4. Fit: This model is a UK size 14, providing a structured tailored fit. If you are between sizes, consider the specific cut of the bodice to ensure the button-through front lies flat against the torso.
