Product Information
Full details
The Bardot Selene Halter Maxi Dress is designed for the modern adult woman looking for a sophisticated, statement piece for evening events or formal occasions. Its primary appeal lies in the flattering bias-cut silhouette and dramatic design elements like the plunging neckline and open back, which offer a fluid, graceful aesthetic. While the dress excels in style and movement, users should note that the slip-on design requires careful consideration for undergarment choices to maintain the seamless look of the low-back cut.

FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The bias-cut design is meant to skim the body. If you prefer a looser fit, consider checking the size chart against your measurements, as bias-cut garments are intended to follow your natural silhouette.
What type of bra should I wear with this?
Due to the plunging neckline and open back, a backless adhesive bra or silicone petals are recommended.
Can the dress be machine washed?
Due to the delicate nature of the fabric and the frilled hem, dry cleaning or a delicate hand wash in cold water is recommended to prevent damage.
How long is the dress?
The dress is designed in a maxi length, meaning it is intended to reach the floor or ankles depending on your height and heel choice.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The bias-cut technique provides natural 'give' to the fabric, allowing it to move with your body, but it is not made of high-stretch synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to cling to the body in unwanted areas.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate seamless or silk-lined shapewear to allow the bias-cut fabric to drape correctly over the body.
The rouleau neck tie comes undone.
Tie the rouleau using a double knot or a small bow. If the material is slippery, a small dab of clear fabric glue or a hidden safety pin can secure the placement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant bias-cut fabric provides a flattering, fluid fit.
- Dramatic open-back design perfect for formal settings.
- Fully lined construction ensures quality and coverage.
- Front split and frill detail create beautiful movement when walking.

- Bias-cut fabric may be prone to snagging if not handled with care.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the intended look, pair this dress with adhesive breast petals or a low-back bodysuit, as the plunge and open back do not accommodate standard brassieres. Since the garment features a delicate bias-cut construction, it is essential to store it on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder stretching or fabric distortion. For cleaning, follow the manufacturer's care label instructions—typically involving a gentle hand wash or dry cleaning to maintain the structural integrity of the fabric and the precision of the frilled hem.
