FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a cotton poplin fabric, known for its breathable and structured finish.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a midi length design, measuring approximately 130cm.

How should I style this dress for a casual occasion?

For a casual look, pair the dress with white trainers and a crossbody bag. Minimal jewelry will complement the relaxed style.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the cotton poplin fabric is breathable, making it suitable for warmer weather. The midi length also offers comfortable coverage.

How do I care for the cotton poplin fabric?

It is recommended to dry clean the dress to maintain its structure and color. If ironing, use a medium heat setting on the reverse side.

What kind of undergarments are best with a wrap dress?

A seamless bra and underwear are recommended. Depending on the opacity and fit, shapewear might also be considered for a smoother silhouette.

Does the wrap tie come undone easily?

The tie fastening is designed to be secure, but it is advisable to tie it firmly. If you experience slipping, ensure it's threaded correctly and consider a double knot if needed.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle and immediate removal. Ironing on the reverse side with a medium heat setting should remove creases.

Wrap tie is difficult to secure

Ensure the tie is threaded correctly through the designated opening. Practice tying the knot to ensure it holds securely without slipping.

Sleeves feel too voluminous

The voluminous sleeves are a key design feature. For a less pronounced look, consider professional tailoring or ensure the cuff is neatly adjusted.
