FAQs
What type of bra should I wear with this dress?
A plunging neckline often works best with a low-plunging bra, a stick-on bra, or pasties for minimal visibility. Ensure the bra straps are not visible.
How do I ensure the wrap-style bodice stays in place?
The internal and external ties of the wrap dress should be secured firmly. You can also use a small amount of fashion tape on the inside of the wrap closure for extra security.
Is this dress suitable for all formal events?
This dress is best suited for formal evening events, black-tie affairs, weddings, and galas where a statement piece is appropriate. It may be too elaborate for less formal gatherings.
Can the corsage detailing be removed?
The corsage is typically sewn on as a design element and is not intended for removal. Attempting to remove it could damage the dress.
What shoes best complement this dress?
Strappy heels, elegant stilettos, or embellished sandals in metallic tones (silver, gold) or classic black/nude would pair well. Ensure the heel height complements the floor-sweeping length.
How should I store this dress?
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect the satin from snags and dust, and to help maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
Dress arrived creased
Hang the dress for a few days. If creases persist, use a fabric steamer on a low heat setting, holding it a safe distance from the material, or consult a professional dry cleaner.
Satin appears dull
Ensure the dress is not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can fade satin. Polish with a soft, dry cloth if light surface dust is the cause.
Corsage detailing is misshapen
Gently reshape the corsage by hand. Avoid pressing or ironing it directly. If significant damage occurs, professional restoration may be needed.
Side slit feels too high
This is a design feature. For more coverage, consider wearing sheer or opaque tights, or a fine slip underneath.
