FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The dress is suitable for a range of occasions, from elegant evening events and formal gatherings to sophisticated daytime outings like gallery openings or upscale brunches. Its unique design also makes it a striking piece for professional settings where attire can be more expressive.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. Since this is an asymmetrical dress with draping, paying attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements is recommended. Consider the intended fit and consult customer reviews if available for insights.

Can I machine wash this silk dress?

No, machine washing is not recommended for this silk dress. It requires gentle hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent or professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity and beauty of the silk fabric.

What is the origin of the animal print pattern?

The animal print pattern is unique and derived from a watercolor painting created by Cortana's creative director, giving the dress an artistic and original aesthetic.

How should I store the dress to keep it in good condition?

Store the dress in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust, light, and potential snags. Avoid storing it in plastic, which can trap moisture. Ensure it is stored flat or on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.

Does the side slit make the dress too revealing?

The side slit is designed to add a subtle flair and ease of movement. Its exact placement and height will determine how revealing it is, but typically, such slits on elegant dresses are designed to be tasteful.

Troubleshooting

Dress arrived with a wrinkled appearance

Silk can wrinkle easily. Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes or carefully iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth, following the care instructions.

Stain on the silk fabric

Address stains immediately. For minor stains, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, consult a professional dry cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics and provide them with information about the stain.

Uneven fit or drape

Ensure the correct size was selected. If the fit is off, consider consulting a tailor for minor alterations, especially around the asymmetrical hem or draping.
