FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from a knitted blend of viscose and polyamide.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to standard UK women's dress sizing. The dress has a close fit, so consider measurements for accuracy.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the viscose blend offers some breathability, making it suitable for warmer occasions, especially when paired with appropriate footwear.

What type of bra is recommended with the square neckline?

A strapless bra or a bra with minimalist straps would work best to maintain the clean lines of the square neckline.

How long is the dress?

The maxi length is approximately 112cm.

Can the front split be adjusted?

The split is a design feature and cannot be adjusted without tailoring.

Does the wave pattern extend to the lining?

The description indicates the wave knit is a feature of the skirt, with a solid knit bodice. The pattern is visible on the outer layer of the skirt.

Troubleshooting

Dress loses shape after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended hand-wash or dry-clean instructions. Always lay flat to dry, never hang.

Fabric appears stretched or distorted

This can occur if the garment is hung. Gently reshape the dress while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid excessive heat when ironing.

Zipper is stiff or catching

Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite from a pencil or beeswax to the teeth of the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking and unique graphic pattern
  • Versatile for day-to-night styling
  • Comfortable yet shape-retaining fabric
  • Sophisticated maxi length with practical split
  • Refined architectural neckline and straps

Cons

  • Requires specific garment care to maintain shape

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a garment, this dress requires no 'setup' in the traditional sense. Its compatibility is primarily based on personal style and the occasion; it pairs well with various footwear and accessories, transitioning between formal and semi-formal settings.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash recommended or dry clean only to preserve the fabric's integrity and the knit pattern.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the knit.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, and always iron on the reverse side of the fabric.
  • Storage: Store folded to prevent stretching.
