FAQs
Is this dress suitable for formal occasions?
Yes, with the right accessories like metallic heels and refined jewelry, the floral maxi can easily be elevated for garden parties or semi-formal gatherings.
Does the polyester material stretch?
The fabric is designed for a flattering drape and does not feature significant spandex, so it is recommended to follow the size guide accurately.
How should I store this dress?
Store on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the lace is not snagged by other hanging items.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended to tumble dry, as the heat can degrade the polyester fibers and damage the delicate lace detail.
Is this pattern available in other colors?
The current collection features this specific floral design in a red colorway, tailored for a variety of tall sizes.
Are the buttons functional?
Yes, the buttons are functional, allowing for slight adjustments to the neckline for a more open or modest look.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron inside out using a cool heat setting.
Button loops feel tight during initial wear
Gently manipulate the button loops with your fingers to soften them; avoid pulling directly on the lace trim.
Static cling in dry weather
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with a fabric-safe anti-static spray or use a metal hanger to ground the static.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the dress is composed of polyester, it is relatively low-maintenance. To ensure longevity, wash the garment on a delicate cycle with like colors or hand-wash to prevent snagging the lace detailing. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this may compromise the synthetic fibers and the lace accents. Hang drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and vibrancy of the floral print. For ironing, use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer to safely remove any creases.
