FAQs
Is this dress suitable for professional work environments?
Yes, when styled appropriately with layers like a blazer and professional footwear, its tailored design and sophisticated finish make it suitable for many office environments.
What type of fabric is the dress made from?
The dress is made from structured cotton denim fabric.
How should I best care for the denim material?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Iron on a medium setting.
Can the belt be removed or replaced?
The belt is designed to be part of the dress's silhouette and can typically be removed from the loops. You can choose to wear it without the belt or replace it with a different belt of your own to change the look.
What occasions is this dress best suited for?
It is versatile for relaxed luxe occasions, daytime events, office wear, weekend outings, and can be dressed up for evening drinks.
Does the dress run true to size for petite women?

Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit correctly despite ordering the correct size.
Ensure you have followed the sizing guide precisely. If the issue persists, consider if the specific cut for petite frames is not ideal for your body shape. Check the product description for detailed measurements.
Denim colour fades after washing.
Wash the dress in cold water with mild detergent and similar colours. Avoid harsh detergents and high washing temperatures. Consider washing inside out to protect the outer fabric.
Metallic hardware appears tarnished or scratched.
Gently wipe the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Store the dress carefully to prevent items from scratching the metallic parts.
Belt does not stay fastened.
Ensure the belt buckle is fully engaged. If the belt material is stiff from newness, it may loosen with wear. If it continues to slip, consider adding a small amount of fabric glue or stitching to the buckle if a permanent solution is desired, though this will alter the garment.
