FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for me?
We recommend consulting the detailed Oasis size guide, which provides measurements for bust, waist, and hips. Compare your personal measurements to this guide to find your ideal fit.
Can this dress be worn for a traditional wedding ceremony?
While the dress is elegant and sophisticated, its mini length and open back design make it more suited for modern ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, after-parties, or bridal showers. It offers a contemporary bridal look.
What kind of bra should I wear with the open back?
Due to the open back design, a stick-on bra, breast petals, or a backless/strapless bra with clear straps are typically the best options for support and discretion.
Are the feathers durable?
The feathers are delicate embellishments. While they are attached securely, they require gentle handling and proper storage to prevent crushing, bending, or excessive shedding. Avoid harsh contact or friction.
How do I pack this dress for travel without damaging it?
When traveling, fold the dress carefully inside a garment bag. Lay it flat or roll it gently with tissue paper to minimize creasing. Place it at the top of your luggage to prevent crushing. Upon arrival, hang it immediately and steam if necessary.
Can I have this dress altered?
Yes, a skilled professional tailor can make alterations to ensure the perfect fit. Be sure to choose a tailor experienced with delicate fabrics like satin and with embellishments to ensure the feathers are not damaged during the process.
Is the satin prone to snagging?
Satin, especially delicate types, can be prone to snagging on sharp objects or rough surfaces. Exercise caution when wearing jewelry or around textured items to protect the fabric's smooth finish.
Troubleshooting
Feathers appear flattened or matted
Gently fluff the feathers by hand. You can also carefully use a cool hairdryer from a distance to help restore their volume, ensuring not to overheat them.
Satin fabric is wrinkled
Use a garment steamer to gently release wrinkles. If a steamer isn't available, iron on the lowest heat setting with a clean pressing cloth placed between the iron and the dress, ironing on the reverse side of the fabric.
Delicate back tie comes undone
Ensure the tie is secured with a double knot. For added security, a small, discreet safety pin can be used on the knot, hidden beneath the fabric.
Dress feels uncomfortable or ill-fitting
Verify that you selected the correct size according to the Oasis size guide. If the fit is slightly off, consider professional alterations for a perfect tailored look.
Accidental stain on satin
Do not rub the stain, as this can spread it or damage the fabric. Immediately blot with a clean, dry cloth and take the dress to a professional dry cleaner, informing them of the stain type if known.

Care Instructions for Longevity:
- Cleaning: Due to the delicate satin fabric and feather embellishments, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain its pristine condition. If hand washing is absolutely necessary, use cold water and a mild detergent specifically for delicates, avoiding any harsh rubbing or wringing. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: To prevent creasing of the satin and damage to the feathers, store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag. Avoid crushing the feathers against other garments or hard surfaces. Ensure it is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Wrinkle Removal: Use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles from the satin. If ironing, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth on the reverse side of the fabric to avoid scorching or damaging the satin.
