The dress is designed to make a statement. Style it with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewelry to let the silhouette speak for itself. A sleek tailored blazer or a structured clutch can complement its clean lines.

What is the fabric of the dress?

The dress is made from a stretch viscose fabric with a smooth, structured finish.

How should I care for this dress?

Dry clean is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and the dress's structure. Iron on a cool setting on the reverse side if necessary.

The front split is designed to add graceful movement and ease of wear while maintaining a sophisticated character suitable for formal events.

The asymmetric neckline features a dramatic draped fold detail, creating an architectural and sculptural effect on the upper bodice.

What sizes and colors are available?

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a suitable hanger. Allow the fabric to relax after shipping or storage. If the issue persists, consult a professional tailor.

Fabric appears creased after wear

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

Fit around the shoulders feels restrictive

This can be due to the structured nature of the asymmetric design. Ensure you have the correct size. Minor adjustments may be possible by a tailor, but significant alterations to the neckline could compromise the design.
