FAQs
What kind of undergarments should I wear with this dress?
Due to the form-fitting bandage construction, seamless or laser-cut undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette.
Is the material stretchy?
The bandage knit provides a significant amount of structure and hold, meaning while there is some natural elasticity to the knit, it is intended to provide a firm, contouring fit.
Can this be worn for evening events?
Yes, the sophisticated design and tassel detail make it an excellent choice for evening events, especially when paired with metallic or bold accessories.
How do I ensure the tassels don't get damaged?
Store the dress hanging freely in a garment bag to keep the tassels from getting snagged or tangled during storage.
Does this dress come in other colors?
Yes, this model is part of a larger collection and may be available in variants such as white, green, or orange depending on current seasonal availability.
Troubleshooting
Tassels appear tangled or clumped together.
Gently shake the dress while holding the hem, or use a soft-bristled garment brush to carefully detangle individual strands.
Dress feels too tight in specific areas.
Ensure the bandage construction is smoothed out evenly across your torso; because it is a compression garment, slight adjustments in positioning can significantly improve comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a structured garment, ensure you select the appropriate size for a compression fit. Because the material contains polyester, it is relatively resistant to wrinkling, making it an excellent choice for travel to destination events. For care, it is highly recommended to follow the garment tag instructions precisely; typically, delicate cycle washing or professional dry cleaning is best to preserve the integrity of the bandage knit and the longevity of the tassel fringe. When storing, hang the dress upright to allow the tassels to hang straight, preventing them from becoming knotted or misshapen over time.
