FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
The Yours London Knot Front Maxi Dress is designed for occasionwear, making it perfect for elegant events such as weddings (as a guest), formal dinners, cocktail parties, and other special gatherings.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from a soft jersey fabric, which is 100% Polyester.
How should I care for this dress to maintain its quality?
It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash, then lay flat or hang to dry. Always check the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions. Avoid high heat drying or ironing to protect the fabric.
Does the knot front design offer any adjustability?
The knot front design is typically a fixed detail, providing a pre-draped, flattering silhouette. It is not usually designed to be adjustable for cinching or loosening.
Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?
While it features long sleeves, the soft jersey polyester fabric can be comfortable for evening events in mild to warm weather. For very hot climates, consider the fabric's breathability when planning your outfit.
How should I style this dress for an elegant look?
For an elegant appearance, pair the dress with your favorite heels, such as pumps or strappy sandals. Accessorize with a chic clutch bag and complementary jewelry to complete the sophisticated ensemble.
Is the front split functional, or purely decorative?
The front split hem detail is functional, designed to allow for easier movement while adding an elegant visual element to the maxi skirt.
Will this dress crease easily during travel?
Polyester jersey fabrics are generally less prone to heavy creasing than some other materials. However, for best results, roll the dress when packing rather than folding, and hang it upon arrival to allow any minor creases to relax.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles appear after washing or storage.
Hang the dress immediately after washing or remove it promptly from the dryer (if using low heat). Use a steamer or iron on the lowest setting with a pressing cloth to smooth out wrinkles.
Static cling is an issue when wearing the dress.
Use an anti-static spray on the inside of the dress before wearing. Adding a small amount of fabric softener during the wash cycle or using a dryer sheet (if tumble drying) can also help reduce static.
The dress feels too long or drags on the floor.
Maxi dresses are designed to be long. For the perfect length with your preferred heels, consider professional alterations from a tailor to hem the dress precisely.
Fabric appears dull or slightly damaged after washing.
Always ensure you are washing according to the care label, typically using a gentle cycle and cold water with a mild detergent. Harsh chemicals or high heat can affect polyester's appearance.
Knot detail seems to lose its shape.
The knot design is usually sewn in place. Ensure gentle handling during washing and avoid harsh pulling or twisting of the fabric around the knot area.

Care Instructions
To ensure your dress remains beautiful and flattering, follow these care guidelines, always deferring to the garment's specific care label:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, or hand wash in cold water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, as it can damage the polyester fabric.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean surface or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, which can cause shrinkage, damage the fabric, or affect the drape. Low heat tumble dry for a very short period might be acceptable to remove initial wrinkles, but check the label first.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out to protect the fabric's finish. A steamer can also be used effectively to remove wrinkles without direct heat.
- Storage: Store on a hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain the dress's shape. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent compression wrinkles.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
