FAQs

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, race days, graduation ceremonies, galas, and other events requiring sophisticated attire.

What is the length of the midi skirt?

What is the fabric composition?

The dress is made from 100% Polyester, specifically a compact stretch fabrication.

How do I care for the fabric to maintain its shape?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric to protect its integrity and sculpted fit.

Does the fabric have stretch?

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected.

Refer to the size guide and product measurements. Consider the stretch fabrication may offer some flexibility, but precise fit is key for the tailored design. Consult customer service if unsure about sizing.

Fabric appears creased after storage.

Hang the dress and allow it to relax. If creases persist, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steamer at a distance, or iron on the reverse side with low heat as per care instructions.

Seams appear strained.

Ensure the dress is not being overstretched during wear or when putting it on/taking it off. Check that the size is correct, as a too-tight fit can strain seams over time. Avoid excessive force.
