FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as black-tie dinners, evening galas, formal weddings, and other sophisticated occasions where a statement piece is desired.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the delicate crystal embellishments and floral appliqués, the dress requires specialist dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Can I wear this dress in different seasons?

The woven material and embellishments make it suitable for cooler evenings or formal indoor events. The semi-sheer sleeves offer some coverage, but it might be best paired with a light wrap for outdoor events in colder weather.

What kind of jewelry pairs best with this dress?

Given the intricate detailing, minimalist jewelry is recommended. Consider delicate drop earrings, a simple bracelet, or no necklace to allow the dress's embellishments to be the focal point.

What are the fastening details?

The dress features button and zip fastenings located at the back for a secure and seamless closure.

What is the silhouette of the dress?

The dress has an elegant maxi length with a floor-sweeping silhouette, complemented by a dramatic plunge neckline and balloon sleeves.

Is the fabric sheer?

The main body of the dress is opaque, but the sleeves are semi-sheer, featuring crystal embellishment.

Troubleshooting

Crystals or appliqués become loose

Carefully re-attach using a needle and matching thread for minor loose threads, or consult a professional tailor for re-attaching larger embellishments or crystals.

Dress appears creased after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 30 minutes, or use a garment steamer on a low setting, holding it at a safe distance. Avoid direct ironing on embellished areas.

Fabric feels stiff or uncomfortable

Ensure the dress is stored correctly and has had a chance to 'air out' after being packaged. If the stiffness persists, it may be a characteristic of the woven material and intended design.
