FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, formal dinners, ceremonies, and sophisticated social gatherings like gallery openings or race days.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the specific sizing details provided (UK Size 10). It is recommended to measure yourself and compare with the brand's size chart if available, or consider consulting with a professional tailor.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, like most tailored garments, it can be altered by a professional seamstress to achieve a perfect fit. However, significant alterations to the colour block design should be approached with caution.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Due to the high neck and sleeveless design, seamless undergarments are recommended. A strapless bra or a bra with delicate straps would be suitable.

How should I store this dress?

Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect it from dust and prevent creasing. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe.

What shoes pair well with this dress?

Strappy heels or elegant pointed-toe pumps complement the formal aesthetic. For a slightly less formal occasion, pointed flats can also work.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is hung on a padded or wide hanger to maintain shoulder structure. Check for any creasing that may have occurred during storage.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or consult a professional dry cleaner for pressing advice. Avoid direct ironing on high heat.

Colour bleeding or fading

Adhere strictly to the dry-clean-only instructions. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade colours.
