FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings (as a bridesmaid or guest), galas, and other elegant celebrations due to its sophisticated design and dramatic bow.
How should I care for the twill fabric?
For best results and to maintain the dress's structure, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
Can the bow be detached or altered?
The statement bow is an integral part of the dress's design. It is not designed to be detached. Any alterations to the bow should only be done by a professional tailor experienced with formal wear.
What kind of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
Due to the sleek column silhouette and square neckline, seamless undergarments are recommended to ensure a smooth line. A supportive strapless or multi-way bra may be suitable depending on your preference and fit.
Is the dress comfortable for dancing and sitting?
Yes, the dress features wide, structured shoulder straps for support and a subtle back split for ease of movement, making it comfortable for various activities throughout an event.
What is the material of the dress?
The dress is made from floor-length twill fabric, which provides a smooth, structured finish and holds its elegant shape.
Troubleshooting
Bow appears flat or creased
Gently reshape the bow by hand. A low-heat garment steamer can be used carefully, keeping it away from direct contact with the fabric, to help it regain its fullness.
Dress is prone to wrinkling
Twill can sometimes crease. Hang the dress immediately after wearing. For significant wrinkles, professional dry cleaning is best, or use a steamer on a very low setting while the dress is hanging.
Straps feel uncomfortable or slip
Ensure the dress is the correct size. The wide, structured straps are designed for comfort. If persistent, consider professional alterations to ensure a perfect fit on your shoulders.
Difficulty moving freely
The dress includes a subtle back split for movement. Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If movement remains restricted, check for any snags or material bunching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Wearing & Fit:
- Dressing: Step into the dress and carefully pull it up. Due to the structured nature, ensure the neckline and straps sit comfortably on your shoulders.
- Bow Adjustment: Once on, have a friend gently adjust and fluff the statement bow at the back to ensure it sits perfectly and dramatically.
- Sizing: Refer to the brand's specific size guide for the most accurate fit. This dress is a UK size 18.
Compatibility (Accessorizing):
- Jewellery: Opt for delicate drop earrings or a simple necklace that doesn't detract from the square neckline or compete with the bow.
- Footwear: Strappy heeled sandals are ideal to complement the formal nature and floor-length design.
- Hair: An updo or swept-back hairstyle is recommended to highlight the unique back detail of the bow.
Product Care:
- Cleaning: Due to the structured twill fabric and delicate bow, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the dress's shape and integrity.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and to maintain the column silhouette. Ensure the bow is not crushed during storage. Store in a breathable garment bag.
- Wrinkles: If minor wrinkles occur, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping it a safe distance from the fabric. Avoid direct, high heat ironing on the bow. > Info needed: Specific fabric composition and detailed washing instructions are not provided; always check the garment's care label.
