FAQs
Is this dress suitable for non-petite individuals?

What type of undergarments are best for the cowl back?
A low-back bra or adhesive bra cups are recommended to maintain the clean lines of the cowl back detail. Ensure the undergarment is seamless and colour-matched if visible.
How should I care for the hand-stitched detailing?

Can this dress be worn for other occasions besides being a bridesmaid?
Yes, the sophisticated design makes it suitable for various formal events such as evening parties, galas, or even as elegant formal wear for other guests at a wedding.

What colours are available?

How do I find the right size?
Refer to the brand's size guide for specific measurements. Given the petite fit, pay close attention to the length and proportion measurements in addition to standard sizing.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit correctly (too long/short, too tight/loose)
Due to its specific petite tailoring, minor adjustments may still be needed. Consult a professional seamstress for alterations. If the fit is significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size if available, or explore other styles.
Fabric appears creased after storage or travel
Carefully steam the garment on a low setting or have it professionally pressed. Avoid direct high heat. Hanging the dress in a steamy bathroom can sometimes help release minor creases.
Detailing (e.g., cowl back, stitching) looks uneven
Inspect the stitching closely. If there are loose threads, they can often be carefully trimmed. For significant unevenness in the drape or stitching, professional assessment by a tailor or contacting customer service may be necessary.
