Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this dress suitable for machine washing?

While the fabric is durable polyester, the tailored construction and hardware suggest that professional dry cleaning or hand washing is best to preserve the shape and finish.

Does the belt come off?

The belt is integrated into the design to ensure a consistently defined silhouette, so it is intended to remain with the dress.

How long is the dress?

The midi length falls to approximately 124cm, typically hitting mid-calf depending on the wearer's height.

Are the pockets large enough for a phone?

The pockets are designed for small, flat essentials. Placing bulky items like large smartphones inside may distort the tailored lines of the skirt.

Does the material have any give?

The compact stretch fabric offers a slight, controlled stretch designed to contour to the body while maintaining a rigid, tailored look.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight around the waist

Adjust the integrated belt to a looser setting or ensure the dress is properly centered on the body.

Fabric appears to have wrinkles

Use a garment steamer at a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to drop out; avoid direct high-heat ironing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress retains its shape and professional finish, follow these care guidelines:

Cleaning: Follow the internal care label instructions; due to the structure and hardware, dry cleaning is often recommended to preserve the garment's tailoring.
Storage: Hang the dress on a high-quality padded hanger to maintain the shoulders and prevent the belt buckle from marking the fabric.
Hardware Maintenance: When cleaning, avoid harsh chemicals that could tarnish the belt's metal buckle finish.
Compatibility: The dress pairs well with classic pumps or court shoes for a professional look. For cooler environments, it works well under a tailored blazer.
