FAQs
What kind of bra should I wear with this dress?
A strapless bra or adhesive cups are recommended to ensure a smooth look with the off-shoulder Bardot neckline.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, like most formal wear, this dress can typically be altered by a professional tailor. Consult with a seamstress specializing in bridal or formal wear for precise adjustments to ensure the structured design is maintained.
Is this dress suitable for a summer wedding?
Yes, the midi length and A-line silhouette make it a comfortable and stylish choice for summer. The structured twill fabric offers elegance without being overly heavy.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart, focusing on your bust and waist measurements. If you are between sizes, consider if you prefer a slightly looser or more fitted look, or consult the retailer's sizing advice. This dress is available in UK sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18.
What accessories pair well with this dress?
The elegant design is versatile. Consider a statement fascinator for a British bridal look, or delicate drop earrings and an elegant updo for refined sophistication. The midi length also allows you to showcase special wedding shoes.
What is the material of the dress?
The dress is made from a structured twill fabric, likely polyester based on other variants, which provides exceptional shape retention and a sophisticated appearance. Please always refer to the specific care label for confirmed material composition.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer on a low setting. Hold the steamer a few inches away and move it continuously. Avoid direct ironing.
Off-shoulder neckline doesn't sit correctly.
Ensure the dress is pulled up evenly on both sides. Adjust the fit around your bust and waist to allow the structured Bardot neckline to sit flat and symmetrically. Check your undergarments are suitable (e.g., a well-fitting strapless bra).
Dress feels too restrictive around the arms.
The Bardot neckline is designed to sit off the shoulders, which can naturally limit overhead arm movement. This is a design characteristic. Ensure you have the correct size; if it's too tight, it will feel more restrictive.
Stain on the fabric.
For best results, address stains immediately. For minor spills, blot gently with a clean, damp cloth. For more significant stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended as soon as possible to prevent the stain from setting.
Pockets appear bulky.
The pockets are designed to be discreet. Avoid overfilling them. Only carry small, essential items like a lip gloss or a small tissue. The twill fabric should retain its structure if pockets are not strained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most from your Lisa Tan Bardot Midi Wedding Dress involves understanding its proper handling and care.
Before Wearing
- Unpack Carefully: Upon receiving, gently remove the dress from its packaging.
- Hang Properly: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape, especially the structured neckline. Avoid wire hangers that could distort the fabric or shoulders.
- Steaming: If wrinkled, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer head a few inches away from the fabric. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Do not iron directly, as high heat can damage the twill fabric.
Compatibility
- Undergarments: Due to the Bardot (off-shoulder) neckline, a strapless bra or adhesive cups are recommended for seamless support.
- Accessories: The sophisticated design pairs well with various accessories, from statement fascinators to delicate jewelry. The midi length is perfect for showcasing elegant heels or sandals.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: The structured twill fabric and intricate design suggest professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the dress's shape, texture, and pristine white/cream/ivory color. Check the care label for specific instructions.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor, immediate spills, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can set stains.
- Storage: Store in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and preserve the fabric.
