FAQs
Is this dress suitable for daytime events?
Yes, the midi length and refined neckline make it appropriate for daytime formal events like weddings or racing carnivals.
Can I iron this dress?
Direct contact with an iron may damage the metallic texture. Use a steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance from the fabric.
Does the waist have any stretch?
The dress is designed with a tailored fit, meaning it is intended to skim the body precisely. Refer to the size guide for exact measurements.
What undergarments are best?
Seamless, nude-toned undergarments are recommended, as the full lining provides coverage, but the tailored fit works best with smooth, non-bulky layers.
How do I choose the right size?
Since this is a tailored midi dress, prioritize your waist and bust measurements to ensure the bodice fits correctly.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder puff loses volume
Gently steam the sleeves from the inside to re-inflate the gathers, or store with acid-free tissue paper inside the sleeves.
Metallic fabric appears dull
Avoid perfume or hairspray contact with the fabric, as these can create a film on metallic threads. Take to a professional dry cleaner for specialized fabric revitalization.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Storage: Always store the dress on a high-quality, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves and prevent shoulder distortion.
- Care: Due to the metallic nature of the fabric, do not attempt to wash this dress at home. Professional dry cleaning is essential to preserve the texture and sheen of the material.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs best with minimalist footwear, such as strappy metallic heels or nude pumps, to complement the dress without overpowering its bold silhouette.
- Handling: Be cautious around sharp jewelry or rough surfaces, as the textured metallic weave can snag easily.
