FAQs

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a cupro twill woven fabric.

How should I style this dress for work?

For work, layer it with a tailored blazer and pair with smart footwear like loafers or low heels. Ensure the belt is adjusted for a professional, defined waist.

Can this dress be worn in different seasons?

Yes, its design makes it suitable for transitional weather. It can be layered with warmer pieces in cooler months or worn on its own in milder temperatures.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress features an elegant midi length with a straight cut.

How do I care for the metallic collar tips?

Gently wipe the metallic tips with a soft, dry cloth to maintain their shine. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What are the styling options for the full button-through design?

You can wear it fully buttoned up for a classic shirt dress look, or wear it open over a fitted top and trousers or leggings for a more layered, casual ensemble.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled

Iron on a low heat setting, or consider steaming the garment. Ensure it is hung properly after washing.

Belt feels too tight/loose

The belt is designed to cinch the waist; adjust its position to achieve the desired silhouette. If the belt itself is damaged, consult the retailer for potential replacements.

Metallic collar tips tarnished

Gently polish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage the finish.
