FAQs

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress is made from refined satin and should be professionally dry cleaned only.

What length is the dress?

The dress is a floor-grazing maxi length, measuring approximately 150cm from shoulder to hem.

What type of bra works best with this dress?

A high-quality strapless or adhesive bra is recommended to ensure a clean look with the one-shoulder design.

Does the waist run true to size?

The dress features a panelled waistband designed for a tailored, fitted silhouette. It is recommended to check the specific size guide for UK size 6 to ensure an accurate fit.

Is the fabric prone to stretching?

The satin used is chosen for its ability to hold a structured shape, so it is not prone to stretching out of place if stored properly on a hanger.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagged during wear

Do not attempt to pull or cut the snag. Take the garment to a professional tailor or dry cleaner who specializes in delicate fabrics.

Wrinkles in the cape drape

Use a professional garment steamer on a low, delicate setting. Keep the steamer at a distance and never press the iron directly onto the satin surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural architectural silhouette creates a high-fashion look
  • Tailored waistband provides excellent structure and fit
  • Versatile for multiple formal occasions like black-tie events or graduations
  • High-quality satin finish with a sophisticated, refined appearance

Cons

  • Requires dry cleaning due to delicate satin fabric
  • Floor-grazing hem may be prone to gathering debris
  • One-shoulder design limits supportive undergarment options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the satin fabric and the tailored construction, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. Avoid home laundering, as this can damage the structural integrity of the waist panel and the drape of the cape. When storing, ensure the dress is hung on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the cape sleeve from creasing or the shoulder seam from distorting. Keep away from sharp jewelry that might snag the smooth surface of the satin. When choosing undergarments, prioritize strapless or adhesive options to accommodate the one-shoulder silhouette without visible straps.
