FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal and semi-formal events such as weddings, garden parties, race days, and evening soirees.

How should I style this dress?

Style with minimal jewellery to let the embroidery stand out. Pair with strappy heels for formal occasions. A lightweight pashmina can be added for cooler evenings.

What type of undergarments should I wear?

Given the sheer nature of the organdie, a nude or matching coloured slip or camisole and appropriate undergarments are recommended for comfort and coverage.

Is the embroidery durable?

The embroidery is designed to be a key feature. However, like all delicate embellishments, it requires careful handling to prevent snagging or pulling.

Can this dress be machine washed?

What does 'petite' sizing mean?

Petite sizing typically refers to garments designed for individuals with a shorter frame, often with adjusted sleeve lengths, hemlines, and proportions.

Troubleshooting

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or consult a professional dry cleaner for steaming.

Embroidery threads appear loose.

Do not pull on loose threads. Carefully trim any stray threads with small, sharp scissors or seek professional tailoring advice.
