FAQs
What length is the dress?
The dress is approximately 140cm in length, falling to a graceful midi silhouette.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, due to the delicate embroidery, glass beads, and sheer organza fabric, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is required.
How should I iron this dress?
Only iron on the reverse side of the fabric, using a low temperature. Avoid direct contact with any embroidery or beaded sections.
Does the dress have a lining?
Yes, it is constructed with a full lining to ensure comfort and proper structure.
What type of footwear pairs best with this dress?
Strappy kitten-heel mules are recommended to maintain the refined, feminine aesthetic of the midi skirt.
Is the bodice adjustable?
The bodice is structured and fitted to create a defined waist, featuring a bandeau neckline with spaghetti straps.
Troubleshooting
Creases in the organza
Steam the garment gently from a distance or use a low-heat iron on the reverse side only, ensuring you avoid any beaded areas.
Loose beads or embroidery threads
Do not attempt to pull loose threads as this may cause further unraveling; take the garment to a professional tailor experienced in delicate beadwork for repair.
Difficulty with strap placement
The spaghetti straps are intended as a delicate accent; ensure they are tucked or adjusted during storage so they do not catch on the bodice embellishments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure this garment remains in pristine condition, it is vital to follow strict maintenance guidelines. Always store the dress in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the pink hue. When wearing, be mindful of jewelry that may snag the sheer organza or the delicate embroidery.
For cleaning and maintenance:
- Ironing: Never iron directly onto the embroidery or beading. Use a low setting and always iron on the reverse side.
- Cleaning: Due to the glass beading and organza fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
- Storage: Hang the garment using the provided ribbons to prevent the straps from stretching over time.
