FAQs
What kind of events is this dress suitable for?
This dress is perfect for various wedding-related events, including the ceremony (for a modern bride), reception, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, bachelorette party, and even your honeymoon. Its versatile design allows it to be styled for both formal and less formal occasions.
How should I care for the satin fabric?
Satin is delicate. We recommend professional dry cleaning for best results. If hand washing, use cold water with a gentle detergent, avoid wringing, and air dry flat or on a padded hanger. Iron or steam on a low setting from the inside out.
Can the tie shoulder straps be adjusted?
Yes, the charming tie shoulder straps are fully adjustable. This allows you to customize the fit to your comfort and desired look, ensuring the perfect silhouette.
Is this dress suitable for a traditional wedding?
While it features an elegant design, its mini length makes it a modern take on bridal wear. It's ideal for contemporary brides or as a second dress for the reception. For highly traditional ceremonies, some brides might prefer a longer gown, but it ultimately depends on your personal style and wedding theme.
What type of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
Due to the fitted bodice and smooth satin fabric, seamless and nude-colored undergarments are recommended to ensure a sleek and polished look. A strapless or multi-way bra might be suitable depending on your preference.
How can I prevent the dress from creasing?
To minimize creasing, store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag. When traveling, roll the dress carefully instead of folding. If creases appear, use a steamer to gently smooth them out.
Does the dress run true to size?
Most Oasis dresses are designed to fit true to UK standard sizing. However, for the best fit, we recommend referring to the brand's size chart if available (Info needed: link to Oasis size chart) and considering your body measurements.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled or creased.
Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer or iron on a very low heat setting with a protective cloth from the inside out. Avoid direct high heat.
Tie shoulder straps keep slipping.
Ensure the knot is tied securely. If slipping persists, consider using fashion tape (double-sided body tape) to secure the straps to your skin or undergarments.
A stain has occurred on the white satin fabric.
Act immediately. Gently blot (do not rub) the stain with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
The dress feels slightly too tight or loose.
While the tie straps offer some adjustment, significant fit issues may require professional alterations. Consult with an experienced tailor specializing in delicate fabrics like satin.
Dress lacks desired volume or shape.
For added volume, consider wearing a small petticoat or crinoline underneath, if the style allows. For shape, ensure correct undergarments are worn.

Care Instructions for Satin Fabric:
Satin is a delicate fabric that requires careful handling to maintain its luxurious appearance. Proper care will ensure your dress remains beautiful for years to come.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, gently blot (do not rub) the area with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild soap. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Washing: Hand washing is generally recommended for delicate satin items. Use cold water and a gentle detergent. Swish the dress gently in the water; do not wring or twist. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Lay the dress flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid tumble drying as it can damage the fabric.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a low heat setting for ironing, preferably with a pressing cloth, or steam the dress from the inside out to remove wrinkles. High heat can scorch satin.

General Tips:
- Always check the garment's care label if available (Info needed: specific care label instructions).
