FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed as a tailored piece, meaning it is intended to skim the figure. We recommend consulting the UK size guide provided for the most accurate fit.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
No, this garment is strictly dry clean only to maintain its structural details and pleat formation.
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress features a maxi length of approximately 126cm.
Does the dress have pockets?
The design includes a mock pocket trim as an architectural detail, but they are not functional pockets.
What material is the dress made from?
It is crafted from high-quality polyester crepe, chosen for its durability and ability to hold a sharp, tailored shape.
How should I store this dress?
Hang the dress on a wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, dry place, ideally covered by a breathable garment bag to protect the material and pleats.
Troubleshooting
Pleats appear slightly flattened after storage
Take the dress to a professional dry cleaner and request a light steam refresh, ensuring they do not apply direct pressure to the pleated sections.
Minor wrinkles on the bodice fabric
Allow the garment to hang in a bathroom while a hot shower runs nearby; the ambient steam can gently relax wrinkles without the risk of an iron.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the precision tailoring and the accordion-pleated skirt, this dress requires careful handling. To maintain the structural integrity of the bodice and the crispness of the pleats, the garment must be taken to a professional dry cleaner. Avoid steam ironing the pleated sections, as excessive heat can flatten the deliberate accordion folds. Store the dress hanging on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the fabric from stretching or losing its shape at the cap shoulders. Ensure it is stored in a breathable garment bag if kept in a crowded closet to protect the crepe finish from snags.
