FAQs

What is the material of this dress?

This dress is crafted from a compact viscose fabric, known for its ability to hold structured shapes.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress features a floor-grazing hemline with a length of approximately 140cm.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the structured nature of the compact viscose and the gold-tone buckle, we recommend professional dry cleaning.

Is the waist belt removable?

The dress features an integrated belt designed to work in harmony with the silhouette to define the waist.

What occasions are best for this dress?

It is perfectly suited for formal occasions including weddings, graduation ceremonies, and day-at-the-races events.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The fabric is designed for a structured, architectural fit and offers limited stretch compared to jersey or knit materials.

Troubleshooting

Visible creases in the fabric

Use a steamer on a low, gentle setting from a distance, or have the garment professionally pressed.

Gold-tone buckle appears dull

Gently wipe the buckle with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to restore its shine without using harsh chemicals.

Hem dragging on the ground

If the 140cm length is too long, consult a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted to your heel height.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dramatic, architectural silhouette
  • High-quality, shape-retaining compact viscose fabric
  • Adjustable waist definition via integrated belt
  • Versatile for multiple formal occasions
  • Understated elegance suitable for various ages

Cons

  • Requires dry cleaning or careful fabric maintenance
  • Maxi length may need tailoring for shorter individuals
  • Limited stretch due to the structured nature of the fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, store the dress on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion from the cape. Avoid folding the fabric for long periods to prevent unwanted creasing in the compact viscose. Since the fabric is structured, professional cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the drape and the gold-tone buckle. For sizing, the dress follows standard UK women's sizing; ensure you measure your natural waist to confirm the fit of the integrated belt as the viscose fabric provides limited elasticity.
