FAQs
Can this dress be machine washed?
No, this garment is dry clean only to preserve the structural integrity of the tailoring and the precision of the pleats.
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress features a maxi length of approximately 126cm.
Is the material stretchy?
The dress is made from structured crepe, which offers minimal stretch, so it is recommended to select your standard UK size for the best fit.
What kind of shoes match this dress?
Strappy heeled mules work well for a professional office aesthetic, while pointed-toe heels provide a sleeker look for formal evening events.
Does the dress have real pockets?
No, the waist detail includes a mock pocket trim, which is intended for architectural design rather than storage.
Is this suitable for summer business meetings?
Yes, the polyester construction provides a refined look, but users should consider the weight of the fabric for high-temperature outdoor events.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing definition
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner for a steam treatment specifically designed for pleated fabrics.
Wrinkles on the bodice
Use a light hand-steamer from a distance, or better yet, leave the garment in a steamy bathroom to gently relax the polyester fibers.
Staining
Do not spot clean with water or soap; take the item to a professional cleaner immediately to prevent setting the stain in the crepe fabric.
