FAQs

Can I wash this top in the washing machine?

No. Due to the intricate crystal embellishment, machine washing will likely damage both the crystals and the garment fabric. Always dry clean only.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, this top follows a standard regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual size for the best balance of comfort and structure.

What occasions is this top best for?

It is perfect for formal events, weddings, cocktail parties, or evening dinners where a sophisticated and shimmering aesthetic is desired.

Does the crystal embellishment make the top heavy?

The crystals do add a slight weight to the bodice, but the wide shoulder straps are specifically designed to provide the necessary support for a comfortable fit.

Can I iron this garment?

Avoid direct contact between an iron and the embellished areas. If necessary, use a garment steamer from the reverse side on a low setting, keeping distance from the crystals.

Troubleshooting

Crystal appears loose or missing

Take the garment to a professional tailor or garment restoration specialist who specializes in beaded or crystal-embellished formal wear.

Fabric snagged during wear

Do not pull on the snag. Gently manipulate the fabric surrounding the snag back into place. If the crystal is attached to the snag, consult a professional.

Garment losing shape

Ensure the item is stored on a high-quality, padded hanger rather than thin wire hangers which can cause shoulder point distortion.

Care Instructions:
