Real Fit & Fabric: Viral Lulus Wedding Guest Dresses Put to the Test
Q1: Do Lulus dresses fit true to size, or should I order up?
A1: Crepe and knit garments generally fit true to size due to elastane content. However, unlined satin slips and rigid lace overlays have zero mechanical stretch; if your bust or ribcage measurement falls between sizes on their chart, order one size up to prevent zipper strain.
Q2: How tall do you need to be to wear their maxi dresses without hemming?
A2: Floor-length cuts are drafted for a height profile around 5-foot-9 including shoes. Unless you measure at least 5-foot-8 in your planned heels, expect to visit a tailor for hemline adjustments or select a style featuring a midi length instead.
Q3: How do you remove stubborn packaging creases without ruining synthetic fabric?
A3: Avoid direct iron contact, which melts polyester fibers and creates permanent shiny patches. Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for twenty minutes, then pass a handheld garment steamer over the reverse side of the textile on medium heat.
