What kind of undergarments are best for the V-neckline?

A plunge or low-cut bra designed to work with V-necklines is recommended to remain discreet.

Is the belt adjustable?

Yes, the belted waistline allows you to cinch the silhouette to your preferred fit.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

How do I care for the Ponte fabric?

Refer to the care label for specific instructions, but generally, gentle hand washing or dry cleaning is recommended. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying to preserve the fabric's structure.

Does the dress have a back closure?

Yes, the dress features a zip back fastening for ease of wear.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stuck

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of lip balm to the zipper teeth and try to move it slowly.

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger. Use a steamer on a low setting to remove wrinkles, or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron. Ensure the dress is completely dry before storing.

Belt is difficult to secure

Ensure the buckle is correctly aligned. If the material is stiff, gently flex it. If the belt has a buckle, check that the prongs are properly inserted into the holes.
