FAQs
What is the best way to clean this dress?
Due to the delicate nature of satin crepe, this dress should be professionally dry cleaned.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The viscose satin crepe is a woven fabric with limited natural stretch, designed for a structured fit.
Is the thigh-high split too revealing?
The split is designed as a stylistic feature that offers ease of movement; it sits elegantly while standing and provides mobility when walking.
What undergarments are best?
Seamless, nude-toned undergarments are recommended to ensure a smooth silhouette under the satin fabric.
Can I iron this dress?
Direct ironing can damage the lustre of the satin. Use a steamer on a low setting if absolutely necessary.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging
Avoid contact with sharp jewellery or rough surfaces. If a snag occurs, consult a professional tailor rather than attempting to pull the thread.
Wrinkling after storage
Use a professional garment steamer on a low, delicate setting held at a distance, or allow the garment to hang in a steam-filled bathroom to naturally release creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this dress is constructed from premium satin crepe, it is essential to follow specific care instructions to maintain its finish. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the precision of the ruched detailing. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation or fabric wrinkling. Avoid direct sunlight and prolonged moisture exposure to protect the vibrant blue colour. For compatibility, this size 16 piece fits standard UK sizing but should be tried on with the intended undergarments to ensure the ruched waist sits correctly on your frame.
