FAQs

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a length of 127cm, which typically falls mid-calf for most individuals.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and soft drape.

Can I machine wash this dress?

We recommend a gentle machine cycle or hand washing in cold water to preserve the integrity of the ruched detailing.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the material is designed to skim the body, offering a comfortable amount of stretch to accommodate the silhouette.

What size options are available?

This model is available in various sizes ranging from UK 8 to UK 20 to suit different body types.

Is the dress appropriate for a formal event?

Absolutely; the high neck and midi length provide a polished look that is perfectly suited for formal or semi-formal occasions.

Troubleshooting

Dress has minor wrinkles from storage

Use a garment steamer on the lowest setting, keeping the nozzle at least two inches away from the fabric.

Fabric develops static cling

Lightly mist the inner lining with water or apply a small amount of fabric softener diluted in water to stop the static.

Ruching appears uneven after washing

Lay the dress flat on a clean surface and gently adjust the ruched pleats with your fingers while the garment is damp to reset the folds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress retains its shape and texture, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the ruching, it is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid high-heat drying, which can damage the polyester fibers and ruin the drape.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress using padded hangers to prevent the fabric from stretching at the shoulders or leaving marks from plastic clips.
  3. Styling Compatibility: The high neck design works best with updos or pulled-back hair styles to emphasize the neckline. The midi length is versatile enough to be worn with knee-high boots, booties, or classic pumps depending on the occasion.
  4. Wrinkle Management: If the garment wrinkles, use a low-heat steamer. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as this can cause the polyester to become shiny or melt.
