FAQs

What type of event is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal evening events such as weddings, proms, galas, and sophisticated parties due to its maxi length, elegant design, and luxurious fabric.

What bra should I wear with the off-the-shoulder neckline?

A strapless bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the off-the-shoulder design. Ensure it fits well and stays in place.

How does the scuba fabric affect the fit?

The scuba fabric is known for its structure and stretch, providing a figure-hugging, bodycon fit that contours the body. It tends to run true to size but offers a firm fit.

Is the navy blue colour suitable for all seasons?

Yes, navy blue is a timeless colour that is appropriate for any season, making this dress a versatile option year-round.

Can I alter the length of the dress?

Yes, the dress can be altered by a professional tailor. However, alterations to the fishtail hem require particular expertise to maintain the intended drape and silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid direct ironing on satin elements.

Fit feels too tight or restrictive.

Consider the bodycon nature of the scuba fabric. Ensure correct sizing is chosen, and use a garment steamer to allow slight relaxation of the fabric.

Satin twist knot loses its shape.

Gently reshape the knot while the fabric is slightly damp from steaming, and allow it to air dry in the desired form.

Minor snags on the fabric.

For small snags on scuba fabric, try gently pulling the fabric taut from the reverse side. For satin, professional repair may be necessary.
