Fit and Care

Metallic fabrics often have less stretch and can highlight fit, so compare your measurements with each style’s size chart. Steam on low from the inside and follow the care label. Use our Dress Sizing Guide, or contact our team with questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a metallic dress?

A metallic dress is made from fabric with a reflective, metal-like finish, such as lamé, foil, metallic satin, or shimmer chiffon, often in gold, silver, rose gold, or copper.

What color shoes go with a metallic dress?

Nude and black are the safest choices. Matching metallic heels create a monochrome look, and clear heels let the dress shine on its own.

What jewelry goes with a metallic dress?

Match the jewelry to the dress's metal, such as gold with gold and silver with silver, and keep it simple. One pair of statement earrings is usually enough.

Can you mix metals with a metallic dress?

Yes, if it's intentional. Repeat each metal at least twice, such as a gold dress with gold earrings and a mixed-metal bracelet, so the look feels cohesive.

Can you wear a metallic dress to a wedding?

Yes, especially for evening and black tie weddings. Avoid very pale silver or champagne that could read as white, and follow the couple's dress code.

How do you care for a metallic dress?

Follow the care label. Most metallic fabrics should be spot or professionally cleaned, steamed on low from the inside, and stored hanging to avoid creases.
