FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as summer weddings, garden parties, race days, and other celebrations where a sophisticated and romantic aesthetic is desired.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from a woven blend of Lyocell and linen, offering a natural drape and breathability.

Can I adjust the fit of the dress?

Yes, the dress features delicate adjustable shoulder straps that allow for a personalized and secure fit.

Is this dress suitable for taller individuals?

This particular model is designed with petite-specific proportions, ensuring the silhouette, sleeve length, and hem fall in perfect balance for shorter frames. It may not be the ideal fit for taller individuals.

How should I wash this dress?

Refer to the care label on the garment. Generally, a gentle hand wash or a delicate machine wash in cold water is recommended, followed by laying flat or hanging to dry.

What type of undergarments are recommended for the off-the-shoulder neckline?

Consider strapless or adhesive bras to maintain the clean line of the off-the-shoulder design.

Does the floral print have a specific pattern?

The dress features an oversized watercolour floral print, giving it an artistic and painterly quality.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the adjustable shoulder straps are correctly fastened and provide a snug fit. Verify that the garment is the correct size and that its petite proportions are suitable for your frame.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress or iron on a low heat setting. For Lyocell and linen blends, it is often best to iron while the fabric is slightly damp or use a pressing cloth.

Color appears faded

Check the care label. Fading can occur if the garment was exposed to prolonged direct sunlight during drying or washed with harsh chemicals. Future washes should be in cold water with mild detergent.

Compatibility: This dress is designed for women, particularly those who are petite. It pairs well with strappy heeled sandals, elegant wedges, or sophisticated flats. Minimal jewelry, such as a simple pendant or delicate earrings, is recommended to allow the dress to remain the focal point.

Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp.
