What material is the dress made from?

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress should not be machine washed. The recommended care is dry clean only to preserve its structure and delicate details.

What type of footwear pairs well with this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals, elegant stilettos, block heels, or even dressy espadrilles can complement the maxi length and sophisticated style of the dress.

Does the dress have any stretch?

The woven twill construction typically offers minimal to no stretch, providing a structured fit. It is important to refer to size guides for accurate fitting.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Professional steaming is also an option.

Neckline detail loses its shape.

Ensure the dress is stored correctly on a padded hanger. If creased, refer to the care instructions for gentle steaming or cool ironing.
