FAQs

What kind of event is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as proms, weddings, galas, awards ceremonies, and other special evening events.

What is the best way to clean this dress?

The dress should be dry cleaned only to maintain the integrity of the taffeta fabric and cornelli embellishments.

What colours does this dress come in?

This specific variant is in a plum colour. Other colour options may be available for this style.

How should I store this dress to prevent damage?

It is best to store the dress hanging in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and light, and to minimize creasing.

What shoes would best complement this dress?

Elegant heels, such as stilettos or dressy sandals, in metallic tones (silver, gold) or a complementary neutral colour would pair well.

Is the embellishment secure?

The cornelli embellishments are intricately applied. However, like all delicate details, they require careful handling during wear and cleaning to ensure longevity.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, like most garments, it can be altered by a professional tailor to achieve a more precise fit. However, be mindful of the embellishments during alterations.

Troubleshooting

Dress arrived creased

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for an hour, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming.

Embellishment feels loose

Carefully hand-sew it back into place using a matching thread, or take it to a tailor for repair.

Fabric appears dull

Ensure the dress is clean. If the dullness persists, it may require professional cleaning to restore lustre.

Pros and Cons

  • Perfect for making a memorable entrance at formal events.

Cons

  • Specific sizing (UK size 8 in this variant) may require careful measurement checks.
  • Taffeta can be prone to creasing if not stored or transported carefully.
  • Embellishments may require delicate handling during cleaning and wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a dress, there is no 'setup' required beyond standard wearing. Compatibility is with personal style and occasion; it is best suited for formal events.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To preserve the delicate cornelli embellishments and taffeta fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
  • Handle with Care: Avoid snagging the embellishments on jewellery or rough surfaces.
  • Storage: Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and light. Avoid folding if possible; hanging is preferred to minimize creasing.
