FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed for a structured, fitted bodice. If you are between sizes, we recommend checking your measurements against the UK size 12 guide provided.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the intricate lace material, machine washing is not recommended. Dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the structure and detail.

Is the fabric see-through?

The dress features a semi-sheer lace overlay, but it is fully lined to ensure complete coverage and comfort.

What is the total length of the dress?

The approximate length of the dress is 135cm, falling as a midi silhouette on most adults.

Does the dress have a zipper?

Yes, it is designed with a concealed fastening to maintain the clean lines of the structured bodice.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging on lace pattern

Gently pull the lace back into position with a fine needle; avoid cutting loose threads as this can cause the lace to unravel.

Wrinkles in the skirt fabric

Use a low-temperature garment steamer from a distance. Do not place a hot iron directly onto the lace.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is crafted with delicate floral lace, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan:

  1. Cleaning: Given the intricate lace and the zinc-based material components, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and color of the lace. If washing at home is necessary, use a gentle cold-water hand wash cycle inside a mesh laundry bag.
  2. Storage: Always hang the dress using a high-quality padded hanger to ensure the shoulder structure of the puff sleeves is not distorted.
  3. Handling: Avoid wearing jewelry with sharp edges or rough surfaces that could easily catch on the lace threading.
  4. Compatibility: This midi dress pairs well with standard occasion-wear footwear. Due to the dropped waist and gathered skirt, it is designed to fall at approximately 135cm, making it an ideal midi length for most adult heights.
