FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?
Due to the delicate tulle material and tiered construction, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and fabric integrity.
Can I wear a necklace with this off-the-shoulder dress?
While you can, the dress is best complemented by minimal jewelry. Simple drop earrings are suggested to highlight the neckline without creating clutter.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a defined waistband to provide a tailored fit; refer to the standard UK sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your specific measurements.
Does the dress have built-in support?
The bodice is structured to provide a defined shape, but we recommend wearing appropriate undergarments that coordinate with an off-the-shoulder cut.
Can this be worn for daytime events?
While designed for formal evenings, the playful polka dot pattern makes it versatile enough for formal daytime weddings or garden parties.
Troubleshooting
Tulle appears crushed or flat after storage
Gently shake the layers or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow the tulle to regain its natural volume.
Snags on the tulle fabric
Do not pull the snagged thread. Use a small pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim the excess loop if it is visible, and consider consulting a professional tailor for delicate repairs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the dress in pristine condition, avoid high-heat environments and harsh detergents. Due to the layered tulle, the garment should be stored hanging in a breathable garment bag to prevent the delicate mesh from snagging on jewelry or other textures. It is recommended to have the dress professionally cleaned given the complexity of the tulle tiers. When styling, opt for strappy heeled sandals to maintain the long, elegant lines of the skirt, and use a small, understated clutch bag to keep your ensemble streamlined.
