FAQs
Is the fabric very restrictive?
No, the dress is made from a stretch-knit composition with elastane, allowing for a close fit that still provides ease of movement.
What type of footwear works best?
Strappy heeled sandals in a metallic or neutral tone are recommended to complement the elongated, floor-grazing hemline.
How long is the dress?
The dress is a maxi length, falling approximately 125cm from the center back.
Should I wear jewelry with this dress?
Minimal jewelry is recommended to let the textured, metallic surface take center stage; a single statement cuff bracelet is usually sufficient.
Is this suitable for a wedding guest?
Yes, its polished, sophisticated look makes it an excellent choice for wedding receptions, galas, and formal evening celebrations.
Troubleshooting
Visible snagging in the knit
Gently pull the surrounding fabric to redistribute the tension, but avoid cutting any pulled threads.
Loss of luster on metallic surface
Avoid using heavy perfumes or body oils directly on the fabric, as these can dull the metallic foil over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the appearance of the metallic foil and the integrity of the knit, store the dress lying flat or hung on a padded hanger to prevent stress on the straps. Due to the metallic finish, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or direct contact with heavy, rough jewelry that could snag the knit. When cleaning, always refer to the internal care label, but generally, garments with metallic finishes and ruched detailing should be treated with care; professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the metallic sheen and the structure of the bandage-knit fabric.
