Product Information
Full details
This navy blue maxi dress by Goddiva is designed for adult females seeking effortless glamour for formal occasions like weddings, proms, or evening events. Its key benefit lies in its sophisticated and romantic design, featuring an off-the-shoulder bardot neckline with a satin twist knot, a figure-hugging scuba bodycon fit, and a dramatic fishtail hem. A potential caveat is that the form-fitting nature may require careful consideration of undergarments for a smooth silhouette.

FAQs
What type of bra should I wear with this dress?
Due to the off-the-shoulder design, a strapless bra or a bra with convertible straps that can be worn strapless is recommended. Ensure the bra provides adequate support and the band is smooth to avoid visible lines under the tight-fitting fabric.
Is the navy blue color accurate to the images?
The navy blue is a deep, classic shade. Minor variations in screen calibration may occur, but the color is intended to be a rich, timeless navy.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, like most dresses, it can be altered by a professional tailor. However, alterations to the neckline or fishtail hem should be done carefully to maintain the design's integrity.
What is the length of the fishtail hem?
The fishtail hem is designed to flare out from the knee or calf, adding a dramatic trail. Specific measurements would depend on the size ordered, but it's characteristic of a classic mermaid or fishtail silhouette.
How does the scuba fabric feel?
Scuba fabric is a type of neoprene that is smooth, dense, and has a slight stretch. It provides a structured, figure-hugging fit and holds its shape well.
What accessories pair well with this dress?
Given the dress's sophisticated design, opt for elegant accessories. Silver or gold jewelry, a clutch bag, and classic heels would complement the look without overpowering it.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have chosen the correct size. The scuba fabric has some stretch, but the bodycon fit is designed to be snug. Consider the type of undergarments worn, as thicker seams can add bulk.
Satin twist knot loses its shape
Handle the knot gently. If creased, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the satin. Avoid over-handling the knot.
Scuba fabric feels too warm
This dress is best suited for cooler evenings or indoor events. For warmer weather, consider it for events with air conditioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup. Its primary considerations revolve around care to maintain its quality.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the satin and scuba fabric blend, this dress is recommended for dry clean only to preserve the fabric's integrity and the satin's sheen.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and press lightly, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on the satin elements.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded or satin hanger to prevent stretching or creasing, especially around the shoulder line and fishtail hem. Store in a garment bag to protect from dust.
