FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?
Due to the delicate foil metallic finish, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the fabric's appearance.
Is the fabric prone to stretching?
The dress uses a stretch-knit composition with elastane. While it is designed to hold its shape, it is best stored on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion.
How long is the dress?
The dress is a maxi length, measuring approximately 125cm from the centre back.
Can I wear a standard bra with the square neckline?
The broad, structured straps offer good coverage, but a multi-way or strapless bra is recommended to ensure straps remain hidden.
What type of shoes best complement this style?
Strappy heeled sandals in a metallic or neutral tone work best to complement the elongated hemline and formal nature of the dress.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, the metallic finish is striking in natural light, but consider the floor-grazing length when navigating grass or uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to have wrinkles after storage
Allow the garment to hang naturally for a few hours. If needed, use a light steamer from a distance, but avoid direct contact with the metallic foil.
Snags in the bandage knit
Gently pull the surrounding fabric to redistribute the tension. Do not cut any loose threads as this may compromise the knit structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your dress in pristine condition, always follow the care label instructions typically found inside the garment. Due to the specialized metallic foil treatment, dry cleaning is generally recommended to preserve the texture and shine. When storing, keep the dress hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic finish from fading or flaking. Avoid hanging it on thin wire hangers which may cause the knit fabric to stretch or distort at the shoulders; use a padded hanger instead to maintain the structure of the broad straps.
