FAQs

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as evening receptions, weddings, galas, and other formal parties where a statement piece is desired.

How should I care for the satin sleeves?

The satin sleeves require gentle care. Dry cleaning is the safest option. If hand washing, use cold water and mild detergent, and avoid rubbing the satin directly. Steaming is recommended for removing wrinkles.

What size should I order?

Please refer to the brand's specific size chart for Goddiva. It is recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the provided measurements for the best fit.

Can the neckline be adjusted?

The plunge neckline is a design feature and cannot be adjusted. However, the Bardot neckline can be worn off-the-shoulder as intended.

Is this dress suitable for warmer weather?

The scuba crepe body offers moderate breathability. The satin sleeves might be warmer. It is best suited for evening events or cooler seasons, or in air-conditioned venues.

What kind of bra works best with this dress?

Due to the deep plunge neckline, a plunge bra or a seamless bra in a nude or matching red colour is recommended for support and invisibility.

Troubleshooting

Dress doesn't hang as expected

Ensure the dress has been properly steamed or ironed according to care instructions. The scuba crepe fabric benefits from proper preparation.

Satin sleeves appear creased

Gently steam the satin sleeves on a low setting, keeping the iron or steamer at a distance to avoid damage. Do not iron directly.

Colour appears different from online images

Screen settings can affect colour perception. Refer to the product description for colour details and consider that slight variations may occur.

Mermaid hem feels restrictive

Practice walking and sitting in the dress before the event to get accustomed to the fit. The mermaid hem is designed for elegant posture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure it is properly steamed or ironed according to fabric care instructions before wearing for the best presentation.

Compatibility:

  • Undergarments: Consider seamless or plunge-style bras for the deep V-neckline. Nude or matching red undergarments are recommended.
  • Accessories: This dress pairs well with statement jewelry for the neckline or subtle pieces that complement the bold colour and design. Heels are ideal to enhance the maxi length and mermaid hem.

Care:

  • Material: Primarily Satin and Scuba Crepe.
  • Washing: Dry clean is highly recommended to preserve the fabric's texture and colour. If hand washing is attempted, use cold water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing of the satin sleeves.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron setting on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on the satin elements. Steam is preferable for removing creases.
