FAQs

What material is the Chichi dress made of?

The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester featuring a subtle sheen.

Can I adjust the length of the dress?

Yes, you can use the internal drawstring to gather the fabric, which alters the hemline and creates a ruched, asymmetric effect.

Is the bustier removable?

No, the bustier is built into the dress to provide structural support and a consistent silhouette.

Where is the dress manufactured?

This garment is made in Italy.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the delicate nature of the fabric and the structural components, professional dry cleaning is the safest care method.

Does the dress have pockets?

No, the design focuses on a streamlined, draped aesthetic without pockets.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty reaching the back zipper

Ask a companion to assist with the concealed zip, ensuring no fabric is caught in the teeth before pulling it up.

Drawstring feels stuck

Gently check the internal channel to ensure the string hasn't twisted; never use excessive force as this could damage the internal gathering mechanism.

Fabric appears dull

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to restore the subtle sheen; avoid ironing at high temperatures which can damage synthetic fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile styling options via the adjustable internal drawstring
  • Structured bodice provides excellent support
  • Distinctive, heritage-inspired Buchanan tartan print
  • Sophisticated floor-length silhouette suitable for formal occasions

Cons

  • Polyester fabric may require specific laundering to maintain the sheen
  • Design features a concealed back zipper that may require assistance to close
  • Limited to specific sizing options
  • Sleeveless cut may not be ideal for cooler climates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the dress, ensure the internal drawstring is fully loosened before putting it on. Use the concealed zipper at the back to secure the garment. Due to the polyester composition, it is highly recommended to follow the professional care label instructions—typically dry cleaning is preferred to maintain the fabric's integrity and sheen. When not in use, store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the bustier and prevent the fabric from creasing unevenly. Avoid snagging the material on jewelry, especially near the neckline twist.
