Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right formal dress for my event?

Consider the dress code first: black tie, semi-formal or cocktail, then choose a silhouette and fabric that suits the venue and season. For outdoor or summer events, lightweight chiffon or silk blends work well; for evening galas, opt for satin or luxe fabrics with structured tailoring.

What length should a formal dress be for a school formal or ball?

School formals and balls welcome a range of lengths. Midi and maxi dresses offer timeless elegance, while knee-length styles and polished minis suit cocktail or semi-formal celebrations; select the silhouette that makes you feel confident and comfortable.

How do I care for delicate fabrics like satin or chiffon?

Always check the garment label; many luxe fabrics require gentle hand wash or specialist dry cleaning to preserve sheen and drape. Store formal dresses on padded hangers and use garment bags to protect embellishments and delicate fibres.
