FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and suitable for work events, dinners, parties, and other semi-formal or smart-casual occasions.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a ponte fabric, known for its comfortable stretch, smooth finish, and good drape.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's size chart and consider your specific measurements. Given it's a petite fit, precise measurements are key.

Can the snaffle trim be removed?

The snaffle trim is a decorative element attached to the dress. It is not designed to be removed without potentially damaging the garment.

How should I care for the dress to maintain its quality?

It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, use a mild detergent, and lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying and iron on a low heat setting.

Does the wine color match other colors easily?

Yes, the rich wine color is highly versatile and pairs well with neutrals like black, grey, beige, and cream, as well as metallic accents.

Is this dress suitable for taller individuals?

No, this dress is specifically designed as a 'Petite' fit, meaning it is tailored for individuals with a shorter stature. It may be too short or ill-fitting for taller individuals.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears too long or short in certain areas.

As this is a petite fit, consider professional tailoring for minor adjustments to ensure a perfect fit for your specific height and proportions.

Pilling or snagging on the fabric.

Handle with care to avoid friction with rough surfaces. Follow washing instructions carefully, using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents.

Snaffle trim becomes loose or dislodged.

Inspect the trim regularly. If loose, carefully re-secure it using a needle and thread that matches the trim color and fabric. Avoid excessive pulling or snagging.

Color fading after washing.

Wash the dress inside out in cold water with a color-safe detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
