FAQs
What kind of undergarments work best with the off-the-shoulder neckline?
A strapless, supportive bra or adhesive cups are recommended to maintain the clean line of the neckline.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, due to the delicate tulle material and construction, dry cleaning is the only recommended method.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a defined waistband; check the specific UK size guide to ensure a comfortable fit around the waist.
What shoes pair best with this length?
Strappy heeled sandals are ideal to complement the formal nature of the dress and provide enough lift for the hem.
How can I prevent the tulle from snagging?
Avoid wearing abrasive jewelry or accessories that could catch on the delicate tulle layers during wear.
Troubleshooting
Tulle fabric appears creased after storage
Use a professional garment steamer on a very low, delicate setting, keeping the nozzle a safe distance from the tulle.
Hemline catching on shoes or floor
Use invisible fashion tape to lightly secure the hem if necessary, or ensure your heels are high enough to keep the fabric off the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it in a breathable garment bag to prevent the tulle from snagging on other items. Due to the delicate nature of the tiered layers, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the tulle and the precision of the tiered construction. Ensure you wear appropriate footwear to avoid dragging the hem on rough surfaces, which could fray the edges of the tulle fabric. When traveling, lay the dress flat or use a hanging garment bag to preserve the shape of the tiers.
