FAQs

Does the dress have a built-in bra?

The dress features a structured, sculpted bodice that provides significant support, though personal preference for additional undergarments may vary.

How do I determine if a UK size 8 is right for me?

The Jarlo Monica Corset Dress is designed with a tailored fit. Consult a standard UK size chart to compare your bust, waist, and hip measurements against size 8 specifications.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, due to the structured corset construction and delicate fabric, dry cleaning is the only recommended care method.

Is the fabric comfortable for long events?

Yes, the fabric includes a subtle stretch component which helps balance the rigidity of the corset bodice for improved comfort.

What should I do if the zip gets stuck?

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the teeth. If it remains stuck, avoid forcing it; take it to a professional tailor to avoid damaging the garment structure.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping the dress independently

The corset-style construction requires precise alignment; ask a friend to hold the fabric edges together at the zip line to relieve tension while closing.

Fabric appearing wrinkled upon arrival

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow light moisture to release wrinkles naturally, or take it to a professional dry cleaner for a light press.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Jarlo Monica Corset Dress, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. The garment uses delicate construction methods to maintain the corset shape, so avoid machine washing or aggressive steaming. When storing, keep the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and ensure the structured bodice maintains its curve. For sizing, note that this garment features a tailored fit; it is recommended to verify your measurements against the UK standard sizing provided for a UK size 8 to ensure a perfect match.
