FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from Compact Stretch Viscose, offering a high-quality feel with comfortable stretch. The variant attributes also note Cotton as a material.

How do I style this dress for an event?

This dress pairs beautifully with strappy heels. Consider adding complementary accessories like a clutch bag and subtle jewelry to enhance the sparkle of the embellishments.

What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?

It is ideal for formal events, weddings, galas, and other special occasions where a sophisticated and elegant outfit is required.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash or dry clean this dress only. Machine washing may damage the fabric and embellishments.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, typically falling below the knee but above the ankle.

Does the dress have a leg split?

Yes, the dress features a thigh-high leg split for added detail and movement.

Are the crystal embellishments secure?

The embellishments are applied to enhance the design; however, like all embellished garments, they require careful handling to prevent dislodging. Refer to care instructions for best practices.

Troubleshooting

Crystals appear loose or damaged

Gently inspect the affected area. For minor loosening, a small amount of fabric-safe adhesive may be used by a professional. Avoid applying heat directly to the crystals.

Dress wrinkles easily

Hang the dress immediately after wearing. If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting on the reverse side of the fabric, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you have followed the specific 'dry clean only' or 'hand wash' instructions. If hand washing, use a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine agitation.
