Full details

Its key benefit is creating a beautifully defined silhouette with architectural neckline and structured belt.

FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events such as weddings, race days, graduation ceremonies, and other occasions requiring a refined dress code.

What material is the dress made of?

The primary material for this specific variant (Size 14) is polyester. Other variants may be made of linen.

How should I care for this dress?

Dry clean only is recommended. Iron on a cool setting or steam from a distance.

Is the belt adjustable?

The belt is designed to cinch the waist at a specific point for a defined silhouette. It features a buckle closure for securing.

What does 'petite-specific proportions' mean?

It means the dress is designed with shorter individuals in mind, with adjusted proportions for the hem length, sleeve placement, and overall silhouette to ensure a better fit.

How long is the dress approximately?

The pencil midi cut falls to an elegant mid-calf length, approximately 107cm.

Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily.

Use a cool iron or a steamer on the polyester fabric. Hang the dress immediately after ironing to help it retain its shape.

Belt buckle feels stiff.

Ensure the buckle is not obstructed by fabric. If it is difficult to fasten, check for any debris. Avoid forcing the buckle.

Sleeves feel tight.

As this is a petite fit, sleeve length and fit are tailored. If the three-quarter length sleeves feel restrictive, consider the tailoring as part of the intended design. Ensure no internal threads are binding the seam.
