FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is highly versatile, suitable for corporate settings, client lunches, formal dinners, cocktail events, and gallery openings. Its sophisticated design transitions effortlessly from day to evening.
What material is the dress made of?
The dress is primarily made of a bandage knit construction with a stretchy elastane blend for sculpting and definition. Some variants may also include wool.
How should I clean this dress?
Due to the delicate nature of the bandage knit and embellishments, dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the dress's quality and shape.
Does the dress run true to size?
The bandage knit fabric is designed for a close, sculpting fit. It is recommended to consult the size chart and consider your preferred fit when ordering. If you are between sizes, you may wish to size up.
Can the front zip be worn partially open?
Yes, the full-length front zip allows for adjustable styling. You can wear it fully closed for a high-neck look or partially open to create a different neckline and silhouette.
What kind of undergarments are best with this dress?
Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the form-fitting bandage knit fabric.
Are the gold-tone buttons functional?
The gold-tone button embellishments are decorative and add to the military-inspired design; they are not functional for opening or closing the dress.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Bandage knit is designed to be close-fitting; consider ordering a size up if you prefer a looser fit or if between sizes.
Pilling or snagging on the fabric.
Avoid abrasive surfaces and excessive friction. If minor pilling occurs, gently use a fabric shaver. Handle with care to prevent snags.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper up and down, ensuring no fabric is caught. A small amount of wax or lubricant on the zipper teeth can help. If persistent, consult a tailor.
