FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for corporate events, client meetings, formal dinners, cocktail parties, gallery openings, and other sophisticated social or professional gatherings.

How does the bandage knit fabric fit?

The bandage knit is designed to sculpt and define the silhouette, offering a close and supportive fit. It has some stretch due to the elastane blend.

What material is the dress made of?

The primary material is a wool blend with elastane, designed for structure and comfort.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the sleeveless design makes it suitable for warmer weather. For cooler temperatures, it can be effectively layered with a blazer or jacket.

How should I care for this dress?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Alternatively, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry.

What type of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the close fit of the bandage knit, seamless undergarments are recommended to avoid visible lines.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, the dress features patch pockets on the front, embellished with gold-tone buttons.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage knit is designed to be form-fitting; consider trying a size up if you prefer a less constricting fit.

Pilling or snagging of the fabric

Handle with care to avoid snags. If minor pilling occurs, use a fabric shaver gently. Follow the recommended care instructions strictly to prevent damage.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is smooth around the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
