FAQs

What is the primary material used in this dress?

This dress is crafted from high-quality linen, complemented by a cotton lining within the skirt for structure and comfort.

Can I wear a necklace with the asymmetric neckline?

Because the collar is highly structured and sculptural, it is often best to forgo a necklace and opt for statement earrings to keep the neckline area clean.

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed with a fitted waist, so it is recommended to follow the standard UK size guide for a tailored fit.

Is this suitable for outdoor events?

Yes, the breathable linen material makes it an excellent choice for warm-weather outdoor events like garden parties.

How should I store the dress to maintain the collar shape?

Use a padded hanger and ensure there is enough space in your closet so the collar is not compressed by other garments.

Does the skirt offer a lot of volume?

The skirt is designed with diagonal panelling to create a full, graceful silhouette that provides volume without requiring an underskirt.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the linen fabric

Use a garment steamer on a low heat setting to gently relax the fibers; avoid direct contact with high-heat irons on the structured collar.

Collar appearing flattened or creased

Stuff the neckline area with acid-free tissue paper when storing to help the collar retain its architectural structure.

Hemline appearing uneven after transit

Hang the dress for several hours before wearing to allow the weight of the fabric and the panelling to settle naturally into its intended shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural and architectural design stands out without needing excessive accessories
  • Breathable linen fabric is ideal for seasonal occasion wear
  • Cotton-lined skirt provides structure and prevents transparency
  • Versatile midi length suitable for both garden parties and formal events

Cons

  • Linen material may wrinkle more easily than synthetic blends
  • Structured collar requires careful storage to avoid misshaping
  • Dry-clean or delicate-wash recommended to maintain garment shape

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these professional maintenance guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the dress on a wide-shouldered hanger to ensure the folded asymmetric collar retains its crisp shape.
  2. Cleaning: Given the linen composition and the internal cotton lining, we recommend professional dry cleaning. If opting for hand washing, use cold water and a mild detergent, laying the garment flat to dry to avoid distorting the hem.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-heat steam setting specifically for linen to remove wrinkles, taking care to press around the structured collar rather than flattening it.
  4. Styling: This piece pairs exceptionally well with sleek, minimalist heels and a neutral clutch, allowing the sculptural cut of the dress to serve as the primary statement.
