Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the material genuine leather?
Yes, the dress is constructed from high-quality leather as specified in the product materials.
Can I machine wash this dress?
No, this garment must be professionally dry-cleaned by a leather specialist only.
What size should I choose?
This is a tailored garment. Refer to the standard UK sizing guide provided in your purchase options, keeping in mind that leather has less 'give' than jersey fabrics.
How do I style this for work?
Pair it with pointed-toe pumps and a structured blazer if extra coverage is needed, keeping accessories minimal due to the waist buckle.
Does the skirt restrict movement?
The handkerchief hemline is designed for movement; while the bodice is structured, the skirt allows for a comfortable range of motion.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing after storage
Hang the dress in a room with gentle humidity (like a bathroom after a shower) to allow the leather to relax, or consult a professional leather specialist for steaming.
Difficulty fastening the buckle
Ensure the garment is centered on your torso and not twisted; if resistance persists, check for any fabric obstructions in the buckle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is crafted from leather, it is essential to treat it with care. Always store the dress on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent creases and preserve the shape of the cap shoulders. Avoid exposing the leather to prolonged direct sunlight or extreme moisture. If the dress requires cleaning, it must be taken to a professional leather cleaning specialist; do not attempt to machine wash or spot clean with household chemicals. When wearing, ensure the buckles are fastened securely to maintain the tailored fit of the waist.
