FAQs
What is the length of this maxi dress?
The dress has a length of approximately 118cm.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the asymmetric, off-shoulder design, it is recommended to use a strapless or adhesive bra for the most seamless look.
Does the material have much stretch?
The dress is made from compact stretch viscose, which offers a balance of structure and moderate elasticity to allow for comfortable movement.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor summer weddings?
Yes, the breathable nature of the viscose blend makes it a sophisticated choice, though the full lining adds a layer of warmth.
How should I clean this dress?
Please check the internal garment care label, but generally, high-quality viscose blends should be dry cleaned or hand-washed delicately to maintain the fabric structure.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears slightly wrinkled upon unpacking
Steam the garment lightly on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a distance to avoid damaging the stretch fibers.
Dress hem is too long for the chosen footwear
Consider wearing a higher heel or consult a professional tailor to have the hem adjusted while preserving the flare.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate sculptural collar and the nature of the compact stretch fabric, proper care is essential. Always hang the dress using the provided hanger straps to preserve the structure of the shoulders. For cleaning, follow the manufacturer's care label strictly, as the synthetic blend requires specific handling to maintain the integrity of the weave. Ensure you store the dress in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and potential snags. When traveling, lay the dress flat in a garment carrier rather than folding it tightly to prevent deep creases in the structured bodice.
