FAQs

What type of fabric is this dress made from?

The dress is primarily made from a structured bandage knit fabric, composed mainly of polyester, which is designed to sculpt and define the silhouette.

How should I clean this dress?

This dress is recommended for dry clean only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to maintain the fabric's structure and fit.

Can the front zip be worn partially open?

Yes, the full-length front zip closure is designed for contemporary styling versatility. You can wear it fully zipped for a more conservative look or slightly unzipped for a different aesthetic.

What is the best way to style this dress for a corporate setting?

For corporate settings, style the dress with minimal jewelry and pointed court shoes. A tailored blazer can be added for extra layering and a more formal appearance.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, the dress features functional front pockets with decorative button detailing for architectural interest.

Is this dress suitable for all body types?

The structured bandage knit fabric is designed to sculpt and define, which works well for many figures. However, due to its structured nature, customers may find it beneficial to refer to the size guide carefully or consider the next size up if they prefer a less fitted feel.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, meaning it typically falls below the knee but above the ankle.

Troubleshooting

Dress fit is too tight or constricting

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage knit is designed to be structured; consider trying the next size up if the fit is uncomfortable for your body type.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or carefully iron on a cool setting on the reverse side, using a pressing cloth if necessary.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a dry cleaner may be able to assist with zipper maintenance.
