Goddiva One Shoulder Pleated Bardot Lace Maxi Dress - Pink - 14

The dress is made from a stretch lace fabric, described as Linen in some attribute listings, but primarily characterized by its lace construction for elegant occasion dressing.

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, typically available online. Since this is a UK size 14, consult measurements for bust, waist, and hips to ensure the best fit.

Minor alterations may be possible, but significant changes to the lace or pleating should be done by an experienced seamstress familiar with delicate fabrics.

The lace fabric allows for some breathability, making it suitable for warmer weather events, though the bodycon fit might be warmer than an A-line style.

Due to the one-shoulder and bardot neckline, seamless or strapless undergarments are recommended. Consider adhesive bras or specialized shapewear for a smooth look.

The stretch lace fabric is designed to be comfortable and flexible, allowing the dress to fit closely to the body while maintaining its shape and offering a degree of movement.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, keeping the iron at a distance from the fabric. Avoid direct ironing on the lace.

Try to carefully tuck the snagged thread back into the weave using a fine needle. Avoid pulling at the snag.

This can sometimes occur with new, dark dyes. Ensure the dress is fully dry before wearing and consider a garment protector spray if concerns persist, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
