Special Occasion Dresses: FAQ

How do I ensure the dress fits perfectly?

Always measure yourself in centimeters and compare against the specific size chart provided by the seller. Many AliExpress brands use Asian sizing which runs smaller, so checking the 'Bust-Waist-Hips' measurements is more reliable than choosing by standard letter labels.

How can I tell if the fabric is high quality?

Look for detailed close-up photos in the description and read customer reviews for mentions of fabric weight or sheerness. Premium satin or heavy crepe should have a consistent sheen and should not be see-through when held to the light.

What indicators show a dress is well-constructed?

Check for 'built-in bra' features and 'full lining' in the product specifications, as these indicate professional tailoring. Reinforced seams and high-quality hidden zippers are also hallmarks of a dress designed to last.

Will my dress arrive wrinkled or damaged during shipping?

Most formal wear is shipped in protective plastic or vacuum-sealed bags to prevent moisture damage, which may cause temporary creasing. Selecting 'AliExpress Standard Shipping' typically ensures sturdier packaging and better tracking for delicate items.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Material Integrity
Prioritize high-density polyester, silk blends, or heavy-weight satin to ensure the dress maintains its silhouette and offers a professional finish.
✓
Embellishment Quality
Look for descriptions specifying 'sewn-on' beads or sequins rather than 'glued' accents, as sewn elements are significantly more durable for long events.
✓
Customization Potential
Many top-rated sellers offer custom sizing for a small fee; always message the seller directly to provide your exact measurements for a bespoke fit.
✓
Inner Structural Support
A quality gown should feature internal boning in the bodice or a structured lining to provide support without the need for additional undergarments.
