FAQs
What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings (especially for mothers of the bride or groom), race day events, formal dinners, and sophisticated daytime gatherings.
Does this dress have any stretch?
No, the signature satin-back crepe fabric used in this dress has no stretch. It's important to choose your size carefully based on your measurements for the best fit.
How do I properly tie the wrap design?
First, slip into the dress. Then, bring the inner tie across your body and secure it. Finally, wrap the outer panel across and secure it with the side tie, adjusting it to cinch comfortably at your waist for a flattering silhouette.
How should I care for the satin-back crepe fabric?
Info needed: For precise care instructions, always refer to the garment's specific care label. Generally, delicate fabrics like satin-back crepe may require dry cleaning or gentle hand washing, and low-heat steaming for wrinkles.
Can I wear this dress for a more casual event?
This dress is primarily designed for formal and semi-formal events due to its luxurious fabric and elegant details. It may be too formal for very casual settings, but could be dressed down slightly with appropriate accessories for a smart-casual occasion.
What does 'satin-back crepe' mean?
Satin-back crepe refers to a fabric that has two distinct sides: one side features the characteristic pebbled texture of crepe, while the reverse side is smooth and lustrous like satin. This combination provides both drape and a subtle sheen.
Troubleshooting
The dress doesn't seem to fit perfectly around the waist.
Adjust the side tie to achieve the desired cinched effect. The wrap design allows for some flexibility in fit, but since the fabric has no stretch, ensure you selected the correct size based on your body measurements.
The fabric appears wrinkled or creased.
Due to the satin-back crepe material, creases can form. Gently steam the dress on a low setting, keeping the steamer moving to avoid concentrating heat. Avoid direct high heat from an iron, which can damage the fabric's finish. Hanging the dress immediately after wearing can also help prevent deep creases.
The ruffle sleeves or puff shoulders lose their shape.
After washing or prolonged storage, gently reshape the sleeves by hand. If needed, a very light, cool steam can help restore their structure. Store the dress on a padded hanger to help maintain the shoulder and sleeve details.
