FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events, business functions, cocktail receptions, and as wedding guest attire, thanks to its sophisticated design and military-inspired detailing.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is primarily made from a compact stretch fabrication, which is typically a blend including polyester, designed for a smooth, sculpted fit and shape retention.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide, paying close attention to measurements for bust, waist, and hips. Given the tailored fit, accurate measurements are key.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is generally recommended to dry clean this dress to preserve its fabric quality and detailed design. Always check the care label for the most accurate instructions.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress falls to a midi length, approximately 123cm.

What kind of undergarments are recommended?

Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the fitted fabric. A strapless or convertible bra may be suitable due to the sleeveless and high-neck design.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The compact stretch fabric offers some give, but the straight pencil cut is designed for a sculpted fit. Consider trying a size up if it feels uncomfortable.

Buttons appear loose or damaged

Inspect the buttons carefully. If loose, they can often be secured by a tailor. For significant damage, contact customer service for potential replacement options or repair advice.

Creasing after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger. If creased, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a distance from the fabric. Avoid direct ironing unless specified by the care label, and use a pressing cloth if necessary.
