FAQs
What is the primary material of the dress?
The dress is primarily made from a comfortable viscose-blend fabric, which provides stretch and shape retention. While an attribute mentions 'Leather', this might refer to specific details or trims, as the description emphasizes the knit fabric.
How should I wash this dress?
It's recommended to hand wash or use a delicate cycle with cold water. Lay flat to dry to maintain the shape of the ribbed knit. Always check the garment's care label for the most accurate instructions.
Can the quarter-zip be fully unzipped?
The description mentions a 'quarter-zip neckline for adjustable coverage,' implying it zips down partially, not fully to the hem.
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is highly versatile. It's suitable for casual daytime events like brunches or gallery visits when paired with trainers, and can be dressed up with heels and a blazer for more formal occasions or client meetings.
Does the ribbed knit texture provide compression?
The ribbed knit texture is described as 'figure-defining' and 'contours to your silhouette,' suggesting it offers a structured fit rather than significant compression.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress features an elegant midi length, designed to hit mid-calf.
Troubleshooting
Dress loses shape after washing
Ensure you are following the specific care instructions for the viscose-blend fabric, typically involving cold water and laying flat to dry. Avoid high heat or aggressive washing methods.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) or a tiny drop of oil to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing it.
Ribbed texture appears stretched out
This can sometimes occur if the garment is hung for too long. Store the dress folded to maintain its shape. If stretching is noticed, a gentle wash and lay-flat drying process might help it recover.

Care: Given the viscose-blend fabric and ribbed knit texture, it is recommended to follow care instructions carefully to maintain the garment's shape and integrity.

Iron on a low heat setting if necessary. Always refer to the garment's care label for the most accurate instructions. The "Leather" attribute in the product details might indicate trims or accessories, but the main dress fabric is described as a viscose-blend.
