FAQs
Is this dress suitable for taller individuals?
This specific variant is tailored with petite proportions at a length of 144cm, which may be shorter than standard maxi dress lengths.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
It is not recommended. The glass crystal trim and pleated fabric should be dry-cleaned to avoid damage.
Does the waist have any stretch?
The dress is designed for a tailored fit; it is best to check your measurements against a standard size guide to ensure a comfortable fit at the waist.
What shoes work best with this dress?
Minimalist heels, wedges, or dressy flat sandals complement the sweeping length of the pleated skirt.
Are the crystal trims durable?
They are high-quality decorative elements, but should be treated with care to avoid catching on jewelry or sharp surfaces.
What is the primary material texture?
The dress uses a woven fabric that provides a structured yet flowing drape, emphasizing the botanical print.
Troubleshooting
Crystal trim feels loose
Take the garment to a professional tailor or dry cleaner who specializes in beaded or embellished luxury items to secure the crystals.
Wrinkles in the pleated skirt
Use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting. Keep the nozzle at least 15cm away from the fabric to avoid damaging the pleated structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features glass crystal trim, proper storage is essential to prevent snagging or breakage. Always store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the pleated skirt is not crushed in a crowded closet.
- Care: Due to the delicate nature of the botanical print and crystal embellishments, professional dry cleaning is strongly advised to maintain the integrity of the trim.
- Compatibility: This item is designed as a petite-specific garment (144cm length), making it ideal for those who find standard maxi dresses too long.
- Maintenance: If the pleats lose their crispness over time, use a low-heat garment steamer from a distance, avoiding direct contact with the crystals.
