FAQs

Can I wash this dress in a washing machine?

No. Due to the high-quality leather construction, machine washing will damage the material. Professional leather dry cleaning is required.

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed as a fitted pencil silhouette. If you prefer a slightly less restrictive fit, we recommend checking the garment measurements against your own, as leather has limited stretch.

What shoes pair best with this midi dress?

Pointed-toe heels are excellent for a formal, elongated look, while knee-high boots complement the edgy, modern vibe of the tartan pattern.

Can the asymmetric zip be adjusted?

The zip is primarily a stylistic and architectural design element. It is recommended to keep it in its intended position to maintain the dress's structured look.

Is this dress suitable for outdoor winter events?

Yes, the leather material provides good insulation, making it a stylish choice for autumn or winter events, especially when layered with a coat.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or lint on the leather surface

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the material in the direction of the grain.

Dress feels stiff after long-term storage

Allow the dress to hang in a room with stable, moderate humidity for a few hours; the natural fibers will settle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural and unique design aesthetic
  • Versatile for both professional and social settings
  • High-quality leather construction
  • Structured, flattering pencil silhouette

Cons

  • Leather requires specialized cleaning care
  • Fitted cut may feel restrictive for some body types
  • Limited stretch compared to jersey fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Since this garment is made of premium leather, care is essential to maintain its integrity. Avoid storing the dress in direct sunlight or damp environments, as this can cause the leather to fade or crack. Use a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and bodice.

For cleaning, do not machine wash; it is highly recommended to consult a professional leather specialist for any stains or annual maintenance. To keep the leather supple, you may occasionally use a dedicated leather conditioner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. When styling, ensure your accessories (such as belts or bags) do not have sharp edges that could scratch the leather surface.
