FAQs
What is 'Satin Back Crepe' fabric?
Satin back crepe is a luxurious fabric that features a smooth, lustrous satin finish on one side and a matte, textured crepe finish on the other. This gives the dress a beautiful drape and sophisticated appearance, often with the satin side displayed outwards.
Is this dress suitable for all seasons?
While satin can be worn in many seasons, its elegance makes it particularly well-suited for spring, summer, and fall formal events. For cooler weather, consider pairing it with a chic wrap or jacket.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, this dress can typically be altered by a skilled tailor. Length adjustments are common for maxi dresses, and minor fit adjustments to the bodice or sleeves are often possible due to the nature of the fabric.
How should I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific UK women's dress size chart. Measure your bust, waist, and hips, and compare them to the chart. Keep in mind that formal dresses often have less stretch, so if you're between sizes, consider going up one size.
What kind of undergarments should I wear?
Due to the sleek nature of satin back crepe, seamless undergarments are highly recommended to prevent lines. A good quality, supportive bra that aligns with the high neck design will also enhance the overall silhouette.
How do I store the dress between wears?
Store the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder bumps, and ideally in a breathable garment bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric and color.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled or creased
Gently steam the dress, holding the steamer a safe distance from the fabric. Alternatively, hang it in a steamy bathroom for a natural wrinkle release. Avoid direct ironing if possible, or use a very low heat with a pressing cloth on the reverse.
Dress fit doesn't seem quite right
Consult the brand's sizing chart carefully before purchase. If the fit is slightly off, consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments, especially for length, as this can greatly improve the overall appearance.
Accidental stain on the fabric
Act immediately. Blot, do not rub, the stained area with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible, informing them of the stain type. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Static cling on the dress
Rub a dryer sheet gently over the inside of the dress, or lightly mist the dress with an anti-static spray. A small amount of body lotion applied to your legs before wearing can also help reduce static.

Getting Ready, Styling & Care
This section guides you through preparing your dress for wear, how to best style it, and essential care instructions to keep it looking its best.
Getting Ready to Wear
Upon receiving your dress, gently unpack it. Satin fabrics can sometimes crease during transit. To remove wrinkles:
- Steaming: Use a garment steamer at a safe distance, moving slowly to relax the fabric.
- Hanging: Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, allowing the humidity to naturally release minor creases.
- Avoid Ironing: Direct high heat can damage satin. If ironing is absolutely necessary, use the lowest setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side of the fabric.
Styling Compatibility
The dress's classic green hue and elegant design make it highly compatible with various formal accessories and themes.
- Jewellery: Opt for metallics like gold, silver, or rose gold to complement the green.
- Hair & Makeup: A sophisticated updo or soft waves can enhance the high neckline. Natural yet polished makeup is usually best.
- Clutch Bags: Small, elegant clutch bags in complementary metallic or neutral tones work best.
Product Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your satin back crepe dress. While specific instructions are always on the garment tag, satin generally requires delicate handling.
- Cleaning: Info needed: [Refer to the garment's specific care label. Satin back crepe often requires professional dry cleaning or a very gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing.]
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Storage: Store on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and snags. Avoid tight folding to prevent permanent creasing.
