FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a stretch-rich composition, incorporating cotton and elastane for a smooth, close fit.

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is designed for occasion dressing, making it suitable for weddings, cocktail evenings, graduation celebrations, or a night at the races.

How should I style this dress?

It is recommended to keep accessories minimal to allow the architectural detailing to take center stage. Opt for strappy heeled sandals and a sleek clutch bag. Delicate drop earrings can complement the one-shoulder neckline.

Does the dress have any stretch?

Yes, the dress features a stretch-rich composition incorporating elastane, which allows for a smooth, close fit that moves with ease and holds its shape.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a close-cut mini length, sitting approximately 83cm from the shoulder to the hem.

Is the dress lined?

Yes, the dress is fully lined for a refined finish and comfortable wear.

How should I care for this dress?

Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the dress's structure and delicate ruffle detailing. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure the correct size has been selected. The stretch-rich composition offers some flexibility, but the fitted nature means a precise fit is important for comfort.

Ruffles appear creased after storage or travel

Hang the dress for a day to allow creases to naturally fall out. If persistent, use a handheld steamer on a low setting from a distance, or iron on a very low heat on the reverse side with a protective cloth.

Fabric appears dull or soiled

Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for cleaning this garment to preserve the fabric and ruffle structure.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As this is an occasion wear dress, there is no 'setup' required beyond trying it on for fit. The dress is designed to be worn as is.

Care Instructions:

Due to the delicate nature of the layered ruffle detailing and the fabric composition, professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the integrity and shape of the dress. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. When storing, hang the dress to prevent creasing, especially in the ruffle areas. Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably on the reverse side or with a pressing cloth.
