FAQs

Are the pockets on the dress functional?

How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK sizing charts for women's dresses and ensure you are measuring accurately for bust, waist, and hip measurements to select the best fit.

While designed for corporate and smart-casual settings, its elegant tailoring and the accompanying statement belt allow it to be styled for less formal evening events with appropriate accessories.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the dress on a padded hanger and allow it to air out for a few hours. If wrinkles persist, use a cool iron on the reverse side, avoiding direct contact with embellishments.
Belt buckle feels loose.
Check if the belt is correctly fastened. For persistent looseness, consult a tailor for potential repair or adjustment.
Fabric appears stretched out of shape.
Ensure the dress has been stored correctly, ideally flat or on a non-straining hanger. Follow the recommended care instructions for washing and drying to help it regain its shape.
