FAQs
What is the primary material of this dress?
The dress is primarily made from traceable cashmere, with a minimum of 60% sourced from Inner Mongolia.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has a mini length, measuring 90cm.
How should I wash the cashmere dress?
It is recommended to hand wash the dress in cold water with a wool-specific detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does 'traceable cashmere' mean?
Traceable cashmere indicates that the origin of the cashmere fibers can be identified, often linked to specific farms or regions known for ethical and sustainable practices, in this case, farms in Inner Mongolia.
How does the fit of the dress feel?
The dress features a cocoon fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement.
Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?
While cashmere provides warmth, its natural fibers can also offer breathability. It might be suitable for cooler evenings or air-conditioned environments, but it is primarily designed for colder weather.
What does the ribbed detailing do?
The ribbed detailing is incorporated to help the dress maintain its shape over time and adds a subtle textural element to the design.
Troubleshooting
Dress loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are hand washing in cold water with a suitable detergent and drying flat, gently reshaping while damp. Avoid harsh wringing or tumble drying.
Pilling on the cashmere surface.
Pilling is natural for cashmere. Gently remove pills with a cashmere comb or electric fabric shaver. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear or washing.
Fabric feels rough after care.
Use a conditioner specifically designed for wool or cashmere during washing, or a very small amount of hair conditioner in the rinse water. Ensure thorough rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dress requires no setup. It is compatible with standard women's apparel sizing. Care instructions are crucial for maintaining the quality of the cashmere:
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring. Lay flat on a clean towel to dry, reshaping the garment while damp. Avoid tumble drying.
- Ironing: If necessary, use a cool iron on a delicate setting. It is often best to avoid ironing cashmere if possible.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, as this can stretch the cashmere. Consider using cedar balls or lavender sachets to protect against moths.
