FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The Bellacala dress is versatile and suitable for casual outings, brunches, garden parties, or as a chic daytime dress. It can be dressed up or down with accessories.

How does the gathered waistline affect the fit?

The gathered waistline is designed to cinch the fabric, creating a more defined and flattering silhouette. It offers a comfortable fit that accentuates the waist.

What is Lenzing™ Ecovero™ viscose?

Lenzing™ Ecovero™ viscose is a sustainable fiber made from wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed forests. It's an eco-friendly alternative to conventional viscose.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

While the fabric is lightweight, the sleeveless design allows for layering. You can wear it with a cardigan, jacket, or a long-sleeved top underneath for cooler temperatures.

Does the dress have pockets?

The provided product description does not mention pockets. It focuses on the dress's silhouette, fabric, and fastening details.

How true to size is the dress?

Sizing can vary between brands. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart for Sessùn to ensure the best fit, paying attention to measurements for bust, waist, and hip.

What is the length of the midi dress?

The dress is described as midi, typically meaning it falls to the mid-calf. The exact length will depend on the wearer's height.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid excessive ironing, as the crinkled texture is part of the fabric's character.

Button at the collar feels loose

Carefully reinforce the button stitching with a needle and thread. Avoid pulling or yanking the button.

Concealed zipper is difficult to move

Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth if necessary.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the natural texture of the fibers. Re-hang to dry.
