FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is highly versatile, making it suitable for professional office environments, formal events like cocktail parties or dinners, and even for an elegantly casual look. Its tailored design and ruffle detail make it adaptable.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from high-quality crepe material. This fabric is chosen for its beautiful drape, comfortable feel, and ability to create a sophisticated silhouette. Some variants may specify polyester crepe.

How do I care for my Wallis Tailored Crepe Ruffle Pencil Dress?

Always refer to the specific care label on your dress. Generally, crepe garments should be hand washed in cold water or machine washed on a delicate cycle. Do not tumble dry; air dry flat or hang. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth or steam to remove wrinkles.

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed to fit different sizes effortlessly and drape beautifully. For the best fit, we recommend consulting the Wallis size guide to find your appropriate size.

Does the crepe material wrinkle easily?

High-quality crepe, like that used in this dress, is generally quite resistant to wrinkling compared to some other fabrics. However, proper care and storage (hanging vs. folding) will help minimize creases.

Can this dress be altered?

Yes, if minor adjustments are needed for a perfect fit, the dress can typically be altered by a professional tailor. It is always recommended to seek a skilled tailor for any garment alterations.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled or creased.

Steam or iron on a low heat setting, using a pressing cloth if available, to smooth out creases. Always refer to the garment's care label for specific ironing instructions and suitable temperatures for crepe.

Stain appears on fabric.

For best results, address stains immediately. Gently blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing. For stubborn or oil-based stains, consult a professional dry cleaner, informing them of the fabric type (crepe) and stain origin.

Fit feels too tight or too loose.

While the dress is designed to drape beautifully, if you experience significant fit issues, consider consulting a professional tailor for minor alterations. Always refer to the size guide provided by Wallis before purchase for the best possible fit.

Fabric loses its smooth drape after washing.

Ensure you are following the exact care instructions on the garment's label, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying method. Improper drying or harsh detergents can affect crepe's texture. Steaming can help restore the drape.
