FAQs
How do I choose the correct size for this maternity dress?
You should generally choose your pre-pregnancy size. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, you may consider going up one size.
Is this dress suitable for all stages of pregnancy?
The dress is lovingly crafted to fit your baby bump, designed for comfort and flattery throughout. Our model is 8 months pregnant, demonstrating its suitability for later stages.
What kind of events is this dress appropriate for?
This dress is perfect for formal events, special occasions, and is specifically highlighted for bridesmaid duties due to its elegant and dramatic design.
Can the length of the dress be altered?
Yes, the dress length from the shoulder point is approximately 159cms, and it may need shortening. We recommend professional alterations to maintain the integrity of the fishtail hem.
What kind of fabric is Karina crepe?
Karina crepe is an elegant fabric with a matte finish that drapes over the body with structural fluidity, masterfully tracing and contouring the silhouette.
Does the dress fabric have much stretch?
No, the Karina crepe fabric has little stretch.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too long or drags on the ground.
This is common for maxi dresses. It's recommended to wear appropriate footwear (e.g., heels) or, for a perfect fit, have the hem professionally shortened by a tailor. Factor in your shoe height when determining the desired length.
Dress feels too tight or uncomfortable around the bump.
While the dress is designed to fit your baby bump based on your pre-pregnancy size, individual comfort preferences vary. If it feels too snug, consider trying one size up from your pre-pregnancy size for a more relaxed fit, as suggested in the sizing guide.
Zipper catches or is difficult to fasten.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try gently moving the zipper up and down a few times. If it's still difficult, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Always zip slowly and carefully.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.
Info needed: [Specific instructions for de-wrinkling Karina crepe]. Generally, a garment steamer can effectively remove creases without direct heat application. If ironing, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth to protect the fabric, or professional dry cleaning.
