FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The Aurelia Ruffle Maxi Dress is ideal for romantic and elevated occasions such as weddings, formal parties, evening events, and sophisticated gatherings.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements. As this is a maxi dress, consider your height and potential need for hemming.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, as the dress is made of polyester, it can typically be altered by a professional seamstress, particularly for hemming or minor adjustments to fit.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

A seamless bra in a nude or matching color is recommended. Depending on the V-neck depth and your comfort level, a plunge bra might also be suitable. No special shapewear is typically required unless desired.

How should I store the dress to maintain its appearance?

It's best to store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and prevent creases. Avoid folding it for long periods.

Is the fabric sheer?

The description indicates a polyester material with a floral print, which generally provides opacity. However, it's always advisable to check specific product details or reviews if sheerness is a concern.

What are the primary colors in the floral print?

The print features a seaspray blue base with a muted brown floral pattern.

Troubleshooting

Dress doesn't drape as expected

Ensure the dress is hung properly to allow the fabric to relax. Check care label for washing instructions, as improper washing can affect fabric drape.

Ruffles appear creased after washing

Gently steam the ruffles using a garment steamer on a low setting, or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat.

Color fading

Always wash in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for colored fabrics.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. It is recommended to wash with similar colors.
