FAQs

What size should I order for this maternity dress?

It is generally recommended to order your pre-pregnancy size. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, you might consider going up one size.

Is this dress suitable for post-pregnancy wear?

While designed for maternity, the empire waist and flowing skirt might still be comfortable and flattering post-pregnancy, depending on individual body shape and preference. However, its primary design intent is for the baby bump.

What kind of occasions is this dress appropriate for?

This dress is perfect for formal events, weddings (especially as a bridesmaid), special occasions, and other sophisticated gatherings where an elegant maxi dress is suitable.

Can I shorten the dress myself?

Due to the fishtail hemline and the `Karina crepe` fabric, it is highly recommended to have any length alterations done by a professional tailor to maintain the dress's elegant drape and finish.

How do I ensure the cowl back stays perfectly draped?

The `Karina crepe` fabric is designed to drape well. Ensure the dress is worn correctly, and if necessary, use fashion tape discreetly to secure the drape to undergarments for extra confidence.

Does this dress have pockets?

> Info needed: Product description does not specify if the dress includes pockets. Assume no pockets unless stated otherwise for a formal dress.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from `Karina crepe`, which is 100% Polyester. This material provides an elegant matte finish and structural fluidity.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or uncomfortable around the bump.

Ensure you have selected your pre-pregnancy size, or consider going up one size for a more relaxed fit as recommended. If discomfort persists, check the concealed side zip is fully closed.

Dress is too long and drags on the floor.

This is common for maxi dresses that are not custom-made. It is recommended to have the hem professionally shortened by a tailor to your desired length and preferred shoe height.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently moving the zipper up and down a few times. Avoid forcing it, which could damage the zipper or fabric. If new, it might be a bit stiff.

Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a steamer on a low setting. If ironing, use a low heat and a pressing cloth to protect the `Karina crepe` material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Sizing and Fit

Choosing the correct size for your maternity dress is crucial for comfort and appearance.

  1. Pre-pregnancy Size: It is recommended to choose your pre-pregnancy size for the best fit, as the dress is designed with your changing body in mind.
  2. Relaxed Fit: If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider going up one size from your pre-pregnancy size.
  3. Measurements: Refer to the model's details (8 months pregnant, 5ft 9, wearing size 10) for a reference point.
  4. Length Alterations: The skirt length from the shoulder point is approximately 159 cms. As this dress is not custom-made, it is highly likely that you may need to have the hem shortened by a professional tailor for a perfect length, especially if you are under 5ft 9 or plan to wear lower heels.

  • Washing Instructions: > Info needed: Specific washing instructions (e.g., hand wash, machine wash delicate, dry clean only, temperature). Always check the garment's care label.
  • Drying: > Info needed: Specific drying instructions (e.g., flat dry, hang dry, tumble dry low). Avoid high heat to preserve fabric integrity.
  • Ironing: Use a low heat setting if ironing is necessary, preferably with a pressing cloth to protect the `Karina crepe` fabric's matte finish.
  • Storage: Store on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain the dress's shape.
