Product Information

Full details

This Paulo Due two-piece suit is designed for women seeking an elegant and polished ensemble for formal occasions, weddings, or professional settings. Its key benefit lies in its tailored fit and sophisticated silhouette, offering a refined look. A potential consideration is the polyester blend fabric, which may require specific care to maintain its structure. The set includes a fully lined V-neck jacket with structured shoulder pads and statement gold buttons, paired with a coordinating midi skirt featuring an invisible back zip and an elasticated side waistband for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Jacket buttons feel loose

Gently tighten the button threads with a needle and matching thread. If thread is damaged, consider replacing the button with a similar one.

Skirt zipper is difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fabric appears creased after wear

Hang the garment on a hanger and allow it to air out. If creases persist, use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron inside out on a cool setting as per care instructions.

Elasticated waistband feels too tight or loose

The elasticated side waistband is designed for comfort; significant adjustments are not typically possible. Consider professional tailoring for a more customized fit.
