Product Information

Full details

This sleeveless midi dress is designed for the discerning woman seeking a blend of sophisticated utility and feminine tailoring. Its key benefit lies in its expertly crafted silhouette that flatters the figure, transitioning effortlessly from professional settings to evening engagements. A minor caveat is that the cotton-rich fabric, while offering comfortable structure, may require careful handling to maintain its sharp appearance. Key features include distinctive contrast top-stitching, a structured collared neckline, a button-through front, a statement double-buckle belt, and practical side button detailing.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears creased after washing

Ensure the garment is ironed on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Laying flat to dry can also minimize creasing.

Belt buckle feels stiff
