What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is designed to be versatile and is suitable for a range of occasions, including spring weddings, work days, and evening drinks.

What does 'petite proportioned' mean?

Petite proportioned means the garment is specifically designed for individuals who are 5'3" and under, featuring shorter lengths and adjusted proportions for a better fit.

How should I care for the structured crepe fabric?

Does the dress come with the belt?

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Troubleshooting

Dress loses its shape after washing

Ensure the dress is dry cleaned as per the care instructions. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can distort the fabric.
