FAQs

What size is this dress?

This model is designed for a UK size 8 fit.

Is the material heavy?

No, the dress is made from a soft, lightweight knit, making it comfortable for layering.

How should I wash this dress?

It is best to machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mesh laundry bag, or hand wash in cool water.

Can I tumble dry this dress?

It is not recommended to tumble dry; hang-drying or laying it flat is best to preserve the knit quality.

What is the silhouette of this dress?

It features a fit-and-flare silhouette, which is fitted at the waist and flares out at the skirt.

Troubleshooting

Visible pilling on the knit surface

Gently use a fabric shaver or a de-pilling comb to remove surface fibers after washing.

Dress appears slightly stretched after storage

Lightly steam the affected area or wash on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry to allow the fibers to regain their original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering fit-and-flare silhouette suits various body types
  • Lightweight knit material is comfortable for long durations
  • Versatile design transitions easily from day to evening wear
  • Distinctive colour block pattern creates a bold visual statement

Cons

  • Knit fabric is susceptible to snagging on sharp objects
  • Requires specific care to maintain the structure of the pleated skirt
  • Limited to specific size availability (UK 8)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your dress in optimal condition, always follow the garment care label. Because this is a knit item, it is recommended to fold it rather than hanging it for long periods to prevent stretching at the shoulders. If washing, use a delicate cycle with a mild detergent inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the knit weave. Avoid bleaching or high-heat tumble drying, as these can compromise the colour blocks and the elasticity of the knit. Compatibility is best suited for UK size 8 frames; for styling, the brown colour palette pairs effectively with neutral tones like beige, black, or cream accessories.
