FAQs
Is this dress suitable for a formal wedding?
Yes, its maxi length, structured bodice, and sophisticated design make it an excellent choice for formal wedding guest attire.
What type of bra works best with the halterneck?
A backless adhesive bra or a specialized halter-neck compatible bra is recommended to ensure the open back design remains unobstructed.
How should I clean the white fabric?
Professional dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the structure and color of the fabric. Avoid machine washing.
Can I remove the belt?
The belt is intended as a key styling element to define the waist, but it can be removed if you prefer a different look, provided the belt loops do not detract from the design.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for your larger size due to the structured nature of the bodice.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their sharpness
Avoid folding the skirt. Hang the dress vertically and use a professional steamer with caution, or consult a dry cleaner to have the pleats professionally pressed.
Belt buckle sliding or feeling loose
Ensure the belt is threaded tightly through the belt loops and cinched to your comfort level before securing the square buckle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the structured bodice and the delicate pleats, this garment should be stored hanging in a breathable garment bag. Due to the halterneck design, it is recommended to pair this dress with adhesive or backless undergarments to maintain a seamless look. Given the white colorway, spot-treat any spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Always refer to the internal care label for specific washing instructions, though professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the sharp pleats and woven structure of the bodice.
