FAQs
Is this dress suitable for office wear?
Yes, its structured shift silhouette and tailored darts make it an excellent choice for a professional yet stylish office environment.
Can I put this dress in the washing machine?
No, because the garment is made of wool, machine washing can cause shrinking or loss of shape. Professional dry cleaning is recommended.
Does the dress have pockets?
The product features a clean, minimalist design focused on the shift silhouette and does not include external pockets.
How should I choose the right size?
The dress is designed with a tailored fit. Refer to the size guide to ensure the bust measurements align with your own for the best fit regarding the bust darts.
What kind of top works best underneath?
It styles perfectly over crisp, thin cotton shirts or fitted long-sleeved jersey tops. Avoid thick, bulky sweaters to maintain the dress's streamlined shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles or creases
Hang the garment in a steamy bathroom or use a dedicated garment steamer on a gentle, low-heat setting.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub the zipper track with a small amount of clear candle wax to improve movement.
Fabric surface pilling
Use a specialized fabric shaver or a gentle wool comb to remove small pills, being careful not to tug at the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its structured appearance and soft wool handle, follow these guidelines:
- Styling: Treat this as a versatile base layer. It is compatible with most standard shirt collars and thin knitwear.
- Storage: Use a quality, contoured clothes hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and bust darts. Avoid wire hangers.
- Care: Due to the wool content, professional dry cleaning is recommended. If minor spot cleaning is required, use only wool-safe products and cold water, but avoid saturating the fabric.
- Refining: If the dress becomes creased, use a garment steamer on a low, wool-appropriate setting. Do not apply high-heat irons directly to the tweed surface.
