While the material is durable, we recommend a cold, gentle machine wash or professional dry cleaning to maintain the structure of the bandage knit.
The dress is designed as a 'Figure Form' fit. If you prefer a slightly less compressed feel, you may want to consider your standard size or consult the size guide for specific body measurements.
Yes, the pockets are functional, though they are designed to maintain a slim, architectural profile against the body.
The military-inspired design and sophisticated silhouette make it an excellent choice for formal office events, conferences, and networking dinners.
Because the fabric is designed to sculpt and define the body, seamless undergarments are recommended to ensure a smooth, clean look.
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut but not stretched, and check that no inner lining is caught in the teeth of the zipper.
Use a handheld garment steamer from a distance to gently relax the fibers; avoid direct contact with a hot iron which may melt synthetic piping.
To ensure the longevity of your Figure Form Bandage Knit dress, proper care is essential. Given the structured nature of the bandage knit material, it is highly recommended to follow the care label instructions strictly, typically involving a cold or delicate wash cycle to prevent the fabric from losing its elasticity. Avoid harsh tumble drying, as high temperatures can damage the synthetic fibers and weaken the integrity of the piping details. When storing, it is best to hang the dress on a structured hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the piping remains aligned. If traveling, pack the dress inside a garment bag to protect the button details and zipper mechanism from snagging on other items in your luggage.
