FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from 100% high-quality cotton.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress falls to an elegant midi length, approximately 137cm.

How should I care for this dress?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Alternatively, hand wash in cold water and dry flat. Iron on a low heat setting or steam.

Is the belt removable?

The dress comes with a self-tie belt made from the same fabric, which can be adjusted or tied as desired. It is not a separate, removable accessory.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, including summer parties, smart-casual lunches, and weekend getaways. It can be dressed up or down.

Does the broderie anglaise affect the fit?

The broderie anglaise is a decorative detail on the fabric and does not typically affect the fit, though care should be taken to avoid snagging the delicate cut-out areas.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

While ideal for warmer days due to its sleeveless design and cotton fabric, it can be layered with a cardigan or jacket for cooler temperatures or evenings.

Troubleshooting

Broderie anglaise snagging

Handle the dress with care, especially around rough surfaces. If a snag occurs, try to gently tease the thread back into place with a fine needle. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.

Dress appears wrinkled after drying

Ensure the dress is ironed on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a garment steamer. Hanging the dress immediately after washing can also help minimize wrinkles.

Belt not holding its shape

Ensure the belt is tied securely at the waist. If the fabric feels too soft, professional pressing of the belt can help maintain its structure.
