FAQs
Is this dress suitable for a work environment?
Yes, the mock neck and elbow-length sleeves meet standard professional dress codes while the architectural details add a modern touch.
How long is the dress?
This petite version is cut to approximately 113cm in length.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the structural bandage knit and metal hardware, dry cleaning is the safest method to ensure the dress maintains its form.
Does the fabric have much stretch?
The fabric is a firm, structured bandage knit designed to hold its shape. While it has some give, it is intentionally compressive.
What shoes should I wear with this midi dress?
Pointed-toe pumps or strappy heeled sandals work best to complement the clean lines of the asymmetric skirt.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight in the bodice
The bandage knit is designed for a firm, compressive fit. If uncomfortable, consider a professional tailor to assess if the side seams can be let out, though this is difficult with knit structures.
Gold hardware looks dull
Gently wipe the gold-tone buckle with a soft, lint-free jewelry cloth to restore its shine. Avoid using abrasive chemicals that could damage the metal finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment uses structured knit fabric and metallic hardware, proper care is essential to maintain its integrity:
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. Avoid wire hangers which may cause the knit to snag.
- Cleaning: Given the structural nature of the polyester-blend bandage fabric and the metal buckle, we recommend dry cleaning to preserve the shape and prevent hardware tarnishing.
- Fit Check: Since the fabric is firm and 'body-defining,' it is intended to fit snugly. Ensure you are comfortable with the compression of the material before removing tags.
- Compatibility: This piece pairs best with minimalist heels to emphasize the architectural lines of the wrap skirt.
