Bardot Crossover Maxi Dress - Vividemerald - Size 12

Strapless bras or bras with clear straps are generally recommended to avoid visible lines. Depending on the openness of the back, a backless or low-back bra may also be suitable.

Given the striking colour and neckline, opt for minimalist yet elegant accessories. Delicate jewellery, a clutch bag, and complementary heels would enhance the look.

The thigh split is a design feature. While a tailor could potentially alter the length of the split, it's generally best to embrace it as part of the dress's intended design.

While the chiffon fabric is light, making it ideal for warmer seasons or indoor events, it can also be styled for cooler weather with a chic wrap or bolero.

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings (as a guest or bridesmaid), proms, galas, black-tie events, and sophisticated evening parties.

Always follow the care instructions. Hand washing in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents will help preserve the colour's vibrancy.

Consider professional tailoring for a perfect hemline, or wear with high heels to compensate.

Ensure a snug fit. You can use fashion tape discreetly on the inside of the neckline to secure it to your skin.

Hang the dress and allow it to de-wrinkle naturally. If needed, use a steamer on a cool setting or a cool iron.
