FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for smart occasions, including boardroom meetings, elegant lunches, smart daytime events, weddings as a guest, and professional work events.

Can the belt be worn with other outfits?

While designed for this dress, the belt can potentially be styled with other garments that require a similar waist definition, depending on its length and buckle style.

How is the midi length measured?

The midi length is approximately 121cm from the shoulder or high point of the shoulder to the hem.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a wool blend material, which contributes to its structured feel and quality drape.

How should I care for this wool blend dress?

Dry cleaning is recommended for this dress to preserve its fabric and shape. Refer to the care label for detailed instructions.

Can the neckline be altered?

Modifying the neckline is not recommended as it is a key design feature and alterations could compromise the garment's structure and appearance. Consult a professional tailor for any custom adjustments.

What footwear and accessories pair best with this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals or pointed-toe court heels are recommended. A structured clutch bag and minimal fine jewellery will complete the look.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected.

Ensure the dress is hung on a padded or wide hanger to maintain shoulder structure. Allow the garment to hang for a period to let the fabric settle.

Belt buckle feels stiff.

Gently work the buckle mechanism. Avoid forcing it. If issues persist, inspect for any fabric obstruction.

Minor creasing on wool blend.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

Care Instructions:

  • Given the wool blend material, it is recommended to dry clean this dress to maintain its shape and fabric integrity.
