Your dress may have had the tags added by an unscrupulous re-seller. My dress had the name on the tag (read above), so try searching for that name to see if it matches the one you bought.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-21511038416443878862022-12-07T20:28:56.255-08:002022-12-07T20:28:56.255-08:00Hi Sheila, Are you sure that hologram is correct -...Hi Sheila, Are you sure that hologram is correct - could you point me perhaps to where you found it, I've just received a dress I bought with the same hologram and I'm almost 100% certain it's fake! The stitching is terrible - no blanket stitch etc., and it definitely does not feel 100% silk. I have many DVF dresses, so know what to look for - this is very disappointing.

I have never owned a wrap dress because it never occurred to me to layer one with a camisole on top and a half slip on bottom and simply let the dress play peek-a-boo.
