FAQs

What is the primary material used in this dress?

This dress is crafted from a high-quality, breathable linen blend.

Is the dress machine washable?

We recommend professional dry cleaning to protect the contrast topstitching and button-through hardware.

Does the dress have pockets?

The design focuses on the pleated skirt silhouette and topstitching; please check the internal lining or specific garment tag for details.

How should I store this dress?

Hang the dress on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry space, ensuring the pleated skirt is not crushed.

Can I iron this garment?

We advise using a steamer rather than an iron. If you must iron, use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the stitching.

What kind of events is this dress suited for?

The dress is perfect for smart-casual events, garden parties, or brunch dates.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the linen fabric

Use a garment steamer on a low setting. Hold the steamer a few inches away from the fabric, particularly near the topstitching, to avoid heat damage.

Button feels loose after wear

Check the button thread tension before wear. If a button feels loose, reinforce the stitching with matching brown thread to prevent loss.

Pleats losing definition

After cleaning, hang the dress and use a steam press to gently re-align the pleats. Do not over-handle the pleats while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this dress is made from a fine linen blend, proper care is essential to maintain its structure.

  1. Cleaning: Due to the delicate topstitching and button hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid shrinkage or fabric distortion. If choosing to hand wash, use cold water and a mild detergent, laying the garment flat to dry to prevent the weight of wet fabric from pulling on the seams.
  2. Ironing: Steam is the safest way to remove wrinkles. Avoid placing a high-heat iron directly onto the contrast stitching to prevent potential melting or discoloration.
  3. Storage: Always store the dress on a high-quality hanger to prevent the pleated skirt from losing its shape. Ensure the dress is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the brown fabric.
  4. Compatibility: The dress pairs exceptionally well with neutral-toned sandals or wedges, and its gold-accented styling makes it highly compatible with gold jewelry.
