FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a wool-look knitted fabric, designed to offer a luxurious feel and excellent drape.

How should I style the dress for different occasions?

For daytime, pair with flats and a tote. For a more elevated look, style with ankle boots and statement jewelry. The crew neckline is versatile for various accessories.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

While refined, the knit midaxi style is best suited for sophisticated daytime events or smart-casual occasions rather than black-tie formal affairs.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress features a midaxi length, which typically falls below the knee and above the ankle.

Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

Due to its substantial knit fabric, it is most suitable for transitional weather. It might be too warm for very hot summer days.

How do I ensure the dress maintains its shape?

Follow the specific care instructions: hand wash or gentle cycle, lay flat to dry, and reshape while damp. Avoid wringing or tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Dress loses shape after washing

Ensure you are hand washing or using a very gentle machine cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Always lay flat to dry, reshaping the garment while damp, and avoid tumble drying.

Ribbed texture appears uneven

This can sometimes happen during storage or after washing. Gently steam the garment or lay it flat and carefully adjust the ribbing with your fingers while slightly damp.

Fabric feels less soft

Ensure you are using a suitable detergent for wool or delicates and avoid harsh washing conditions. Fabric softener can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and shape of the wool-look knit, adhere to the following care recommendations:

  1. Washing: Hand wash in cold water or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with a wool or delicates setting.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates.

  5. Storage: Store folded in a breathable garment bag to prevent stretching or snagging.
