FAQs
What kind of shoes should I wear with this maxi dress?
Strappy heeled sandals are recommended to complement the maxi length and architectural style.
Is the belt removable?
The belt is designed as an integrated feature to maintain the dress's structural integrity and waist definition.
Can this dress be machine washed?
No, it is recommended to dry clean the garment to protect the fabric and the gold-tone hardware.
How should I store the dress between events?
Store it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry closet, ideally inside a breathable garment bag.
Does the dress run true to size?
The dress is designed with a tailored fit; refer to the standard size guide for your UK size to ensure the waist-cinching belt fits comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Belt buckle looks dull
Gently buff the gold-tone surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and restore shine.
Creasing in the cape layer
Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance to avoid over-saturating the viscose fabric.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Try the dress on with the specific shoes you intend to wear to ensure the maxi hem clears the floor appropriately.
- Storage: Always hang the dress using the internal loops on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the cape shoulders.
- Care: Due to the delicate nature of the compact viscose and the gold-tone buckle, dry cleaning is the recommended method for maintenance. Avoid washing the garment at home to prevent shrinking or damage to the architectural structure.
- Handling: When sitting, carefully lift the back of the cape and the skirt to prevent pulling or tension on the shoulder seams.
