FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, including work, casual outings, dinners, and semi-formal events. Its midi length and elegant trim make it adaptable.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the Wallis size guide for accurate measurements. As this is a petite fit, ensure your height and proportions align with the petite sizing chart.

Can the snaffle trim be removed for washing?

The snaffle trim is a decorative element and is typically fixed to the dress. It is not designed to be removed. Care should be taken during washing to protect it.

What shoes pair well with this dress?

This dress pairs well with various footwear, including heels, stilettos, block heels, ankle boots, knee-high boots, or elegant flats, depending on the occasion.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the ponte fabric has a slight stretch, offering comfort and a flattering fit.

How do I care for the wine colour to prevent fading?

To maintain the colour, wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Washing inside out can also help preserve the colour.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears larger or smaller than expected.

Ensure you are referencing the UK sizing guide accurately. Petite sizing is designed for specific proportions; consider consulting a size chart for precise measurements.

Snaffle trim feels loose or damaged.

Inspect the trim for any loose threads or damage. If minor, a few careful stitches may secure it. For significant damage, consult a tailor or a professional clothing repair service.

Fabric develops pilling after a few wears.

Ponte fabric can sometimes develop minor pilling. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills. Washing inside out on a gentle cycle can also help prevent this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This dress requires no setup and is ready to wear upon purchase. It is compatible with standard women's apparel sizing. To maintain the quality and appearance of the dress, particularly the snaffle trim, it is recommended to follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash for best results.

  • Cleaning the Trim: Gently wipe the snaffle trim with a soft, dry cloth if it becomes dusty or smudged.
