FAQs

What is the main fabric of the dress?

The dress is made from 100% Viscose fabric.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

No, the fabric has no stretch. It is important to consult the size guide and choose your size accordingly.

How should I wash this dress?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water or dry clean the dress to maintain its quality and shape.

What is the skirt length from the waist?

The skirt length from the waist seam to the hem is 58cm on a size small and increases slightly with larger sizes.

What are the contrasting fabric details?

The dress features contrasting red fabric for the sleeve cuffs and waist tie, and white buttons on the chest placket.

What style of dress is this?

This is a 40's style knee-length dress with a midi skirt.

What if I am between sizes?

If you are between sizes, the manufacturer advises choosing the size up due to the non-stretch fabric.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight/loose in specific areas.

Refer closely to the size guide and measure your bust, waist, and hips. If between sizes, the manufacturer recommends choosing the size up due to the fabric's lack of stretch.

Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.

Viscose can wrinkle easily. Try to iron while slightly damp on a low heat setting or consider professional dry cleaning. Ensure you are not overloading the washing machine if hand washing.

Color fading after a few washes.

Always wash in cold water and consider washing inside out. Avoid harsh detergents and prolonged soaking. Opt for dry cleaning for best color preservation.

Elasticated waist feels uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The gathering should provide comfort; if it pinches, the size may be too small overall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required beyond trying it on and adjusting for fit.

Compatibility:

  • Body Type: Designed for adult female figures, with a flattering fit for various shapes due to the elasticated waist. However, due to the lack of stretch, ensure your measurements align with the size guide.
  • Styling: Highly compatible with a range of footwear (heels, flats, sandals, loafers) and accessories (scarves, cardigans, belts, hats).

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the 100% Viscose fabric, it is recommended to hand wash in cold water or opt for dry cleaning to maintain the integrity and shape of the garment.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. Lay the dress flat on a towel or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth to protect the material. Ensure the iron is not too hot, as Viscose can be sensitive to high temperatures.
