FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed with a structured, fitted bodice. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size to ensure comfort.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, due to the delicate satin material and the internal boning structure, this dress should be dry cleaned only.

What type of undergarments work best?

Seamless, nude-colored undergarments are recommended to maintain the clean lines and silhouette of the skirt.

How long is the dress?

The dress is a midi length, measuring approximately 125cm in length.

Does the bodice have built-in cups?

The bodice is structured and boned to provide shape, but it does not contain integrated bra cups.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the satin fabric

Use a professional garment steamer on a low, delicate setting, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the fabric to prevent water spots.

Difficulty zipping the structured bodice

Ensure the bodice is aligned correctly before pulling the zipper. If it remains tight, check for proper undergarment sizing as the structure is meant to be form-fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculpted, form-defining bodice provides a flattering fit
  • High-quality satin fabric offers a premium, elegant sheen
  • Versatile midi length suitable for a wide range of formal occasions
  • Structured design eliminates the need for complex accessorizing

Cons

  • Structured, boned bodice may feel restrictive for some users
  • Satin fabric requires delicate care to prevent snagging
  • Limited stretch due to the architectural tailoring

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the structured satin fabric, dry cleaning is highly recommended. Because the bodice features specific tailoring and boning, storing the dress on a padded hanger is essential to prevent the fabric from creasing or the shoulder straps from losing their shape. When transporting the garment, use a breathable garment bag to protect the sheen of the satin. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, sharp jewelry, or abrasive handbag straps, as these can easily snag the delicate satin fibers.
