Full details

A potential caveat is its dry-clean-only care instruction, requiring specific maintenance. This dress features a deep crew neck, concealed side zip, and a distinctive paper-like cotton jersey finish.

FAQs

What type of fabric is the top made of?

The fitted bodice of the Khaite Carlotta Maxi Dress is made from premium Japanese silk.

What is the finish on the cotton jersey skirt?

The cotton jersey skirt features a distinctive 'salted' finish, giving it a paper-like appearance and texture.

How should I clean this dress?

The Khaite Carlotta Maxi Dress must be dry cleaned only to maintain its fabric quality and unique finish.

Is the dress suitable for everyday wear?

Due to its luxurious materials and sophisticated design, this dress is best suited for formal events, evening occasions, and special gatherings rather than everyday wear.

Does the dress have pockets?

The product description does not mention pockets. The design emphasizes a clean, streamlined silhouette.

What is the length of the dress?

The Khaite Carlotta Maxi Dress is described as maxi length, meaning it falls to or below the ankle.

How does the sizing run for this dress?

The dress features a fitted bodice and a maxi skirt. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements, as fit can vary.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or have it professionally pressed. Avoid direct ironing on high heat, especially on the silk.

Fabric snag on the cotton jersey skirt.

Address snags immediately by carefully trimming any loose threads with small, sharp scissors. For more significant damage, consult a professional tailor specializing in delicate fabrics.

Color fading.

Ensure the dress is kept away from prolonged direct sunlight during storage and wear, as UV rays can affect both silk and dyed cotton.

Cons

  • Requires dry cleaning only, necessitating specialized care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a finished garment, the Khaite Carlotta Maxi Dress requires no setup. Its primary compatibility is with personal style and occasion.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: To preserve the integrity of the Japanese silk and the unique finish of the cotton jersey, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended. Avoid washing at home.
  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and skirt. Ensure it is kept in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and light.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and consider ironing the silk portion from the reverse side. For the cotton jersey, a professional steam press is advised to avoid damaging the 'salted' finish.
