What kind of footwear pairs best with this dress?
The dress pairs well with knee-high boots for a contemporary look, or with leather trainers and an oversized cardigan for a more casual ensemble. Heels or elegant flats are also suitable options.
How should I care for the leather material?
The dress should be spot cleaned only with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying to preserve the leather.
Can this dress be worn in different seasons?

Troubleshooting
Dress does not fit as expected
Refer to the size guide and consider the tailored fit. If between sizes, consult customer service for advice or consider an alternative size.
Belt buckle is difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckle prongs are aligned correctly with the holes. If the issue persists, check for any manufacturing defects.
Leather appears dry or creased
Use a specialized leather conditioner sparingly. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. Allow the dress to hang to naturally reduce creases.
