{"product_id":"sweetheart-contrast-panel-maxi-dress","title":"Sweetheart Contrast Panel Maxi Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eI love how this dress balances drama with classic elegance. The contrast panels create a visual impact that feels modern, yet the sweetheart neckline keeps the overall look timeless. It is my go-to for black-tie events because the fit is so reliable; the bodice holds its shape perfectly while the skirt provides just enough volume to feel special without being cumbersome. Whether I am attending a winter gala or a summer wedding, it feels effortlessly polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric and construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gown is crafted from a high-quality fabric designed to hold its structure while maintaining a fluid drape. The sweetheart bodice is engineered to remain firm, ensuring a secure and flattering fit across the bust. The contrast panels are seamlessly integrated, providing a clean, sharp finish that elevates the overall design. The material is lightweight enough to ensure comfort throughout long evenings while remaining opaque and substantial enough for formal wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dress is cut for a close, tailored fit through the bodice, transitioning into a flowing, floor-length skirt. We recommend choosing your standard size for the best fit. The adjustable spaghetti straps allow you to customise the drop of the neckline to suit your frame. Please refer to our size guide to compare your measurements against our S, M, L, and XL options to ensure the perfect silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a classic black-tie look, pair this gown with minimalist strappy heels and a sleek clutch. The contrast panels act as a focal point, so keep jewellery understated—a pair of simple drop earrings or a delicate bracelet works perfectly. For a winter gala, layer with a tailored faux-fur stole to add texture and warmth without compromising the elegance of the silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain the structure and finish of your gown, we recommend hand washing or using a delicate machine cycle at 30°C. Do not bleach. Hang the dress to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour. If needed, use a cool iron, taking care to avoid any embellished areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize Chart\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 cm \/ 16.9 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78 cm \/ 30.7 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 cm \/ 26.0 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e137 cm \/ 53.9 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 cm \/ 17.7 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82 cm \/ 32.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 cm \/ 27.6 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e137 cm \/ 53.9 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 cm \/ 18.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 cm \/ 33.9 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74 cm \/ 29.1 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e139 cm \/ 54.7 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49 cm \/ 19.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 cm \/ 35.4 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78 cm \/ 30.7 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140 cm \/ 55.1 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInternational Size Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUK\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10-12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38-40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10-12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Measure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChest\/Bust\u003c\/strong\u003e — measure around the fullest part, keeping the tape level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — measure around the narrowest part of the natural waistline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHips\u003c\/strong\u003e — measure around the fullest part, roughly 20 cm below the waist.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — measure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure over light clothing and keep the tape snug but not tight.
