FAQs
What type of fabric is this dress made from?
The dress is made from Katy satin, which is known for its lustrous sheen, subtle textured appearance, and sturdy quality that helps the garment hold its shape.
Is this dress suitable for occasions other than weddings?
Absolutely! While perfect for a town hall wedding, its elegant design makes it suitable for other formal events, bridesmaids' duties, gala dinners, or sophisticated parties.
How should I choose my size, especially with 'little stretch'?
We recommend referring to the size chart provided by the brand. Due to the fabric having 'little stretch', if you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, consider sizing up. Accurate measurements are key.
What does 'bra-friendly' mean?
'Bra-friendly' means the dress's design, particularly its neckline and strap width, is intentionally crafted to allow you to comfortably wear a standard bra underneath without the straps or cups being visible, offering more support and ease.
How do I prevent wrinkles in satin?
Store the dress hung up in a garment bag to minimize creases. When traveling, roll the dress carefully instead of folding. If wrinkles appear, gentle steaming or cool ironing on the reverse side is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose around the waist/bust.
Due to the 'little stretch' in the satin fabric, precise sizing is important. If the fit isn't quite right, consider trying a size up or down. The wrap style offers some natural adjustability, but major discrepancies may require alterations.
Dress appears wrinkled after storage or travel.
Gently steam the dress using a garment steamer on a low setting. Alternatively, you can iron it on the reverse side with a cool iron, placing a clean cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the satin from direct heat.
Fabric has snags or pulls.
Satin can be delicate. Handle the dress with care, avoiding contact with sharp objects, rough surfaces, or abrasive jewelry. For minor snags, gently try to pull the loose thread to the inside of the garment; do not cut it.

Care & Maintenance
Given the delicate nature of satin, proper care is crucial to maintain the dress's lustrous appearance and shape:
- Cleaning: It is generally recommended to dry clean satin garments to preserve the fabric's integrity and sheen. If hand washing is an option, use cold water with a gentle detergent and avoid harsh scrubbing. Info needed: Specific care label instructions.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing/Steaming: To remove wrinkles, use a steamer on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron and a protective press cloth. Avoid high heat to prevent damage to the satin.
