Product Information
Full details
The Phase Eight Simara Maxi Dress is designed for women seeking an elegant, high-impact aesthetic for formal occasions, galas, or summer events. Its primary strength lies in its sculptural pleated texture and flattering cinched-waist silhouette that provides effortless movement. One important caveat to note is that the dress is crafted from 100% polyester, which requires specific care to maintain its pleated finish and texture over time.

FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The Simara maxi dress generally fits true to UK sizing standards, though the cinched waist provides some flexibility.
Can I iron this dress?
It is not recommended to use a standard iron directly on the pleats, as this can permanently flatten them.
What type of bra should I wear?
Due to the high-neck design, a racerback or strapless bra is recommended to remain hidden.
Is the fabric heavy?
The polyester construction is lightweight, making it comfortable to wear for long durations at summer events.
Does the dress include a lining?
Yes, the dress is designed with an internal lining to provide comfort and opacity.
Troubleshooting
Pleats look flattened after travel
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes, then gently shake to allow the fabric to reset its natural drape.
Waist tie feels too loose
Ensure the tie is looped through the integrated waist loops before securing, or tie a double knot to prevent sliding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Simara dress remains in peak condition, store it on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimpling and to allow the pleats to hang naturally. Because the dress features intricate pleating, avoid folding or storing it in tight spaces for extended periods, as this can weaken the pleated finish. When cleaning, always consult the internal care label; generally, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended for this garment to protect the integrity of the pleated texture. Avoid aggressive steaming directly on the pleats, as extreme heat can cause the material to lose its shape.
