FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
The dress is designed with 'little' stretch, so it is generally recommended to refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your measurements carefully to ensure the best fit.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, this dress can typically be altered by a skilled tailor. However, due to the satin fabric and concealed zip, choose a professional experienced with delicate materials for the best results.
What type of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
Due to the satin material and the fully lined design, seamless and nude-coloured undergarments are generally recommended to ensure a smooth silhouette and prevent lines from showing through.
Is the satin fabric prone to snagging or wrinkling?
Satin can be prone to snagging if not handled carefully. While it can wrinkle, proper storage and care (steaming rather than ironing) can help maintain its smooth appearance.
How should I store the dress after wearing?
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect the fabric from dust and snags. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking.
Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a handheld steamer. If using an iron, ensure it's on a low, silk/satin setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side of the fabric.
Concealed zip is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently rub a graphite pencil or a dry bar of soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper mechanism.
Dress feels slightly restrictive due to 'little' stretch.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements. If it's marginally tight, professional alteration by a tailor experienced with satin can sometimes provide a better fit, but significant changes may be limited due to the fabric's nature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
As a dress, no complex setup is required. Simply unpackage and hang to allow any creases to fall out.
Compatibility:
- Body Types: The soft fishtail shape is designed to be flattering across a range of body types.
- Event Suitability: Ideal for formal events such as weddings (especially church weddings), galas, and other elegant occasions.
- Accessories: Pairs well with delicate jewellery, strappy heels, and an elegant clutch to complete the look.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the satin material, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and sheen. If hand washing, use cold water with a gentle detergent and avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently roll the dress in a clean towel to absorb excess water, then lay flat or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric with a pressing cloth, or preferably, use a steamer to remove wrinkles. High heat can damage satin.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration and creasing. Avoid overcrowding your closet to prevent crushing the fabric.
