FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for special occasions such as summer weddings, garden parties, christenings, and race days, where a refined yet romantic aesthetic is desired.

What is the fabric composition of the dress?

The dress is crafted from a woven blend of Lyocell and linen, offering a natural drape and comfortable feel.

How should I care for this maxi dress?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying and use a cool iron on the reverse side if necessary.

Is this dress suitable for non-petite individuals?

While designed with petite proportions, individuals outside of petite sizing may find the fit and length require alterations to achieve the intended look.

Can the off-the-shoulder neckline be adjusted?

The neckline is a fixed design feature. However, the delicate shoulder straps are adjustable to allow for a personalized fit.

What type of undergarments are best with the off-the-shoulder design?

Strapless or low-back bras are typically best suited to maintain the clean lines of the off-the-shoulder neckline.

Does the floral print fade easily?

To preserve the vibrancy of the watercolour floral print, follow the recommended hand wash and cool drying instructions carefully.

Troubleshooting

Dress length is too long for petite frame.

Consider professional tailoring for a precise hem adjustment. The petite sizing aims for balance, but individual heights vary.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Gently iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Hanging the dress can also help minimize creases.

Ruffle detail is not lying flat.

Ensure the dress is fully smoothed out. If needed, a very light steam from a distance (do not touch fabric directly) might help, following care instructions.

Shoulder straps are too loose.

The shoulder straps are adjustable; tighten them carefully to achieve a secure and comfortable fit without pulling.
