FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for special occasions such as weddings (as a guest or bridesmaid), formal parties, galas, and other upscale events where elegant attire is required.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide for Oasis. Generally, for a UK size 12, ensure your measurements align with the brand's chart for bust, waist, and hips. Consider the dress's cut and fabric when assessing fit.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, satin maxi dresses can typically be altered. It is recommended to use a tailor experienced with delicate fabrics like satin for the best results, especially for adjusting the length or bodice.

Is the navy colour true to the image?

Colour representation can vary slightly based on screen settings and lighting conditions. However, the dress is described as a classic navy hue, expected to be a deep, rich blue.

What type of undergarments are best with this dress?

Given the satin fabric and cowl neckline, seamless undergarments are recommended. A strapless or convertible bra can work well. Consider shapewear if desired for a smoother silhouette.

How does the satin fabric feel?

The satin fabric is known for its smooth, lustrous surface and beautiful drape. It feels soft and luxurious against the skin, providing an elegant look and feel.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased

Gently steam the garment on a low setting, ensuring the steamer is not too close. Alternatively, hang it in a steamy bathroom or iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth on the lowest heat setting.

Fabric has a snag

For minor snags, try gently pulling the snagged thread to the reverse side with a fine needle. For more significant snags, professional repair or alteration services may be required.

Dress looks dull after cleaning

Ensure you are using a detergent suitable for delicates and avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the dress is air-dried away from direct sunlight, which can fade colours. Professional dry cleaning might restore vibrancy.
