How do I ensure the best fit for this dress?

This guide refers to a UK Size 8. For accurate sizing, always consult the brand's official size chart, paying close attention to measurements for the fitted bodice.

What are the care instructions for this dress?

Always check the specific care label inside the garment for detailed washing and drying instructions. Generally, crepe fabric benefits from gentle handling, low heat, and careful storage to maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the dress or iron it on a low heat setting from the inside out, following the care label instructions for crepe fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals.

The dress feels too long or trails on the ground.

Consider having the hem professionally tailored to your specific height and chosen heel height for the perfect floor-skimming fit. This ensures optimal elegance and prevents tripping.

Unsure how to best store the dress to maintain its shape.

Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag. Avoid folding for extended periods to prevent creasing and preserve the drape of the cape sleeves and maxi skirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care The Cape Sleeve Maxi Dress is designed for straightforward wear. Simply slip on and zip up. Sizing: This guide specifically refers to a UK Size 8. For other sizes, please consult the brand's official sizing guide to ensure the best fit, as the fitted bodice is crucial for its flattering silhouette.

Iron on a low setting inside out if necessary, or use a steamer to remove wrinkles. Store on a padded hanger to preserve its shape and prevent creasing.
