FAQs

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The main fabric is a slightly elasticized diagonal striped jacquard, composed of 98% Polyester and 2% Elastane. The lining is 100% Polyester.

What is the recommended cleaning method?

Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended due to the delicate satin material and embellishments.

Is the dress suitable for plus-size individuals?

The dress is available in standard UK sizing. The mermaid silhouette is designed to flatter various figures, but individuals should refer to the size chart for specific measurements.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, galas, evening parties, and other upscale occasions where a sophisticated and elegant look is desired.

Can I alter the dress?

While alterations are possible, it is recommended to use a seamstress experienced with delicate fabrics like satin and with intricate details such as ruffles and applied floral designs.

How should I store the dress?

Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Avoid folding, which can cause creasing in the satin.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the dress is hung properly on a padded hanger. The fabric might need time to settle after shipping. Check care label for specific recommendations.

Slight creasing on satin fabric

Attempt to steam the garment on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a distance. For persistent creases, consult a professional dry cleaner.

Floral application appears dislodged

Carefully inspect the application. If a minor adjustment is needed, a seamstress specializing in delicate fabrics can re-secure it. Do not attempt to glue or force.

Care Instructions:
