FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is best suited for formal occasions such as weddings, formal dinners, graduation ceremonies, and sophisticated social gatherings.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the provided chart. Given this is a tailored fit, precise measurements are recommended.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress should be dry cleaned only to preserve its fabric, tailoring, and pleating.

What kind of accessories pair well with this dress?

Strappy heels and a clutch are ideal for formal events. Pointed flats and a tailored cropped jacket offer a more contemporary look for semi-formal settings.

Is the dress lined?

Yes, the dress is fully lined for comfort and to ensure a smooth, structured drape.

What is the sleeve style?

The dress features a sleeveless cut.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, falling below the knee but above the ankle.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the dress is properly steamed or professionally pressed to allow the fabric and pleats to fall correctly. Check that it is the correct size; a size too small or too large can affect the drape.

Colour bleeding or fading

This is unlikely with proper care. Adhere strictly to 'dry clean only' instructions. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods when storing.

Pleats losing their sharpness

Re-pleating may be necessary. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to restore pleat definition. Avoid ironing directly on the pleats without a protective cloth.
