FAQs
What is the best footwear for this dress?
Ballet flats provide a relaxed look, while block-heeled sandals are recommended for formal occasions.
Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?
Yes, it can be styled with a neutral-toned cardigan or a light wrap, though be mindful of the sleeve volume.
Does the dress have a defined waist?
It features an empire seam just below the bust, which creates an elevated, high-waisted effect rather than a traditional natural-waist fit.
What is the skirt length?
The dress is designed as a midi length, typically hitting between the knee and the ankle depending on your height.
How should I clean this dress?
Always check the internal garment label for specific cleaning instructions; generally, delicate floral weaves prefer gentle cycle machine washes or hand washing.
Troubleshooting
Creasing or wrinkles in the fabric
Use a low-heat steam iron or hang the garment in a bathroom while running a hot shower to release wrinkles gently.
Frill detail appears flat after storage
Gently shake the garment and use your fingers to fluff the frills along the neckline and cuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment features delicate frill details and a specific woven fabric, it is recommended that you follow the care label instructions provided on the internal tag to maintain the integrity of the print and the shape of the frills. When storing, avoid hanging the dress on thin wire hangers that could stretch the shoulder seams; opt for padded hangers instead. Due to the voluminous sleeves, this piece is best paired with loose-fitting cardigans or capes rather than fitted blazers to prevent bunching or pulling of the sleeve fabric.
