FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, garden parties, race days, and black-tie events due to its elegant maxi length and striking design.
How should I accessorize this dress?
Consider pairing it with strappy heeled sandals, either in a tonal shade to complement the dress or in metallic tones for contrast. A slim clutch bag and elegant jewelry will complete the look. Styling hair in a sleek updo will showcase the neckline and back detail.
What is the fabric made of?
The dress is made from a woven viscose fabric featuring a tonal stripe jacquard-effect.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and compare it with your measurements. Given the bias-cut construction, ensure you pay attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements for the best fit.
Can I wash this dress at home?
Due to the delicate fabric and weave, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the dress's quality and appearance. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has a floor-grazing length of approximately 143cm.
Does the dress have pockets?
Information regarding pockets is not provided in the product description. Please refer to detailed product imagery or contact customer support if this is a critical feature for you.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang correctly
Ensure the dress is being worn with appropriate undergarments. Consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments to the fit, particularly if the bias cut is not flattering the natural drape.
Fabric appears creased or loses sheen
Refer to the 'Care Instructions'. Immediate professional dry cleaning is recommended. Avoid direct heat or ironing on the right side of the fabric. Use a cool iron on the reverse side if absolutely necessary.
Stripe pattern seems uneven
The jacquard-effect stripe is part of the fabric's design and intended texture. Check product images to ensure the appearance is consistent with the intended design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, this dress does not require setup or compatibility checks in the traditional sense. Its primary function is aesthetic and wearable. The care instructions are crucial for maintaining the fabric's integrity and appearance:
- Material: Woven Viscose
- Care Instructions: Due to the delicate nature of the fabric and the jacquard weave, dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the texture and fit. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Steam can be beneficial for removing creases, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing, especially around the bias-cut seams and the sweeping hem.
