Full details

FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, christenings, race days, graduations, and formal dinners where a sophisticated and impactful outfit is desired.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's standard size chart, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements, as the dress has a fitted bodice.

Can the length of the dress be altered?

Yes, like most maxi dresses, the hem can be altered by a professional tailor to achieve the perfect length for your height and footwear.

What kind of undergarments are best with this neckline?

A strapless bra or a bra with minimal back coverage is recommended to complement the square neckline without showing.

How do I care for the stretch-infused fabric?

The fabric is best maintained through professional dry cleaning. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to preserve its structure and elasticity.

Are the side pockets functional?

Yes, the side pockets are discreetly integrated and functional, suitable for carrying small items like a phone or lipstick.

What footwear pairs best with this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals, classic pumps, or elegant block heels are excellent choices. The maxi length means footwear will be partially visible.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a low heat setting, inside out, using a pressing cloth.

Fabric feels stiff or loses shape.

Ensure the dress is being stored correctly on a padded hanger and has adequate space. Avoid harsh washing or drying methods; opt for professional dry cleaning.

Pockets are not lying flat.

Ensure items placed in the pockets are not too bulky. Smooth the fabric around the pocket area after wearing.
