FAQs
What is satin back crepe?
Satin back crepe is a luxurious fabric that features a smooth, lustrous satin finish on one side and a subtly textured, matte crepe finish on the other. This combination gives the dress an elegant drape and a rich feel.
Can this dress be worn for occasions other than bridesmaids?
Absolutely! Its timeless design, elegant high neck, short sleeves, and maxi length make it suitable for a variety of formal events such as galas, formal dinners, garden parties, or any occasion where sophisticated attire is appropriate.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size guide. It is often recommended to take your current measurements (bust, waist, hips) and compare them to the size chart for the most accurate fit. If you are between sizes, consider if you prefer a looser or more fitted style.
What type of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
Due to the satin back crepe material, seamless undergarments in a nude or matching color are recommended to ensure a smooth line and avoid any visible panty lines or bra straps. A well-fitting, supportive bra that aligns with the high neck design is ideal.
Is the beige color transparent?
The satin back crepe material is designed to be substantial, offering good opacity. However, like many lighter-colored formal garments, wearing appropriate seamless undergarments is advised to ensure complete discretion in various lighting conditions.
How should I store the dress to prevent wrinkles?
Store the dress on a wide, padded hanger to support its shape, and use a breathable garment bag for protection against dust and snags. Keep it in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight or cramped closet spaces which can cause creasing.
Troubleshooting
Dress arrives wrinkled from shipping
Hang the dress immediately upon receipt. Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If ironing, use a low heat setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side of the fabric.
Minor stain on the fabric
Spot clean immediately with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild, pH-neutral delicate fabric detergent. Blot gently; do not rub. For significant stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended as soon as possible.
Dress is too long
Consult a professional tailor for alterations to the hem. Satin back crepe requires careful handling to ensure a clean, even finish.
Fabric feels snagged or pulled
Gently try to ease the snag back into place with a fine needle from the reverse side. Avoid cutting the snag, as this can cause further damage. Prevention is key: be mindful of sharp objects, jewelry, and rough surfaces when wearing.
Dress loses its shape after wear
Proper storage on a padded hanger will help maintain the dress's silhouette. Avoid cramming it into a tight wardrobe. If dry cleaning, ensure your cleaner is experienced with delicate fabrics like satin back crepe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Honoured Satin Back Crepe dress, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of satin back crepe, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and finish. If dry cleaning is not immediately possible, spot clean minor marks very carefully with a damp, clean cloth and a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- De-wrinkling: Hang the dress immediately upon receipt to allow any shipping wrinkles to fall out. For persistent wrinkles, use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom. If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the satin finish, ironing on the reverse side of the fabric.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a garment bag can protect it from dust and snags. Avoid folding for extended periods to prevent creasing.
