FAQs
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, this dress is dry clean only to protect the pleated fabric and structured bodice.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has a maxi length of approximately 126cm.
Is this dress suitable for a formal office environment?
Yes, its tailored design and modest V-neckline are specifically crafted for high-stakes corporate settings.
What kind of shoes should I wear with this?
Sleek pointed-toe heels work best for a professional daytime look, while strappy heeled mules are excellent for evening business events.
Does the bodice provide a lot of stretch?
The bodice is structured for a tailored, fitted appearance, so it is designed to skim the body rather than provide high-stretch comfort.
Troubleshooting
Minor wrinkling in the skirt pleats
Do not iron directly; take the garment to a professional dry cleaner to have the pleats professionally steamed.
Loose threads or fabric snags
Take the garment to a professional tailor; do not attempt to trim or pull at seams, as this may compromise the architectural construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the dress retains its structural integrity, it must be dry cleaned only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the pleated texture and the tailored seams. When storing, use a padded hanger to prevent shoulder indentation and ensure the pleats have enough room in your closet to hang vertically without crushing. Because the dress is a maxi length of approximately 126cm, check your desired hemline against your preferred office footwear to ensure the gown skims the floor correctly.
