This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, garden parties, race days, and elegant evening receptions due to its sophisticated tailoring and tweed texture.

Yes, the short sleeves make it suitable for warmer weather. For cooler seasons, it can be effectively layered with a tailored blazer, cropped jacket, or a fine knit cardigan.

How should I accessorize this dress?

The dress features prominent bow details and a distinct texture. It is best complemented with minimal jewellery, such as simple earrings and perhaps a refined bracelet. Pointed court shoes and a structured clutch bag complete a polished look.

What is the fit like?

What material is the dress made from?

The primary material is a wool blend, contributing to its textured appearance and structured feel. Please refer to the garment's care label for the exact composition.

Are there other color or size options available?

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or use a cool iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.

Bow embellishments appear loose.

Carefully stitch any loose threads or re-secure embellishments by hand with matching thread.

Garment feels stiff after dry cleaning.

Ensure the dry cleaner has used appropriate methods for wool blends. Airing the garment may help soften the fabric.

Dress feels too tight at the waist.

Consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments, or pair with a slimmer belt if the design allows without compromising the peplum structure.
