Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What size should I order? A: Measure your bust, waist, and hips, then compare to our size chart. When in doubt, order the larger size as the back tie provides some adjustment capability.
Q: How long is the dress? A: The dress is floor-length with a train. Standard length fits women 5'4" to 5'8" in heels. Alterations may be needed for shorter or taller individuals.
Q: Can I dance comfortably in this dress? A: Yes! The high thigh slit allows for movement, though the mermaid style is more restrictive than A-line dresses. Practice walking before your event.
Q: Is the dress suitable for outdoor events? A: The dress works best for indoor events. For outdoor occasions, consider the train length and potential for catching on grass or gravel.
Q: What undergarments should I wear? A: A strapless, well-fitted bra is essential. Shapewear can enhance the silhouette. Seamless undergarments prevent visible lines.
Q: How far in advance should I order? A: Order at least 4-6 weeks before your event to allow time for shipping and any necessary alterations.

Q: How should I transport the dress to my event? A: Use a garment bag and hang it immediately upon arrival. Steam out any travel wrinkles if necessary.
Q: What heel height works best with this dress? A: 3-4 inch heels provide the ideal proportion and help with the train length, but choose based on your comfort level.
