Product Information
Full details
The Finery London Mela Dress is designed for the modern adult woman looking to balance feminine flair with everyday practicality. Its primary strength lies in its versatile silhouette, which transitions effortlessly from casual daywear to polished evening attire through clever details like puff sleeves and a midi length. While the polyester fabric offers durability and a consistent shape, users should note that as a synthetic material, it is best suited for layering during cooler months or wearing in climate-controlled environments to maintain personal comfort.

FAQs
Is the Mela Dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a gentle waist definition; if you prefer a looser fit for layering, some customers find success sizing up, but it is generally cut to standard UK sizing.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is recommended to avoid tumble drying to preserve the life of the polyester and the ruffle detailing. Air drying is the safest method.
What is the length of the dress?
The Mela is a midi-length dress, typically falling below the knee and above the ankle depending on your height.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The polyester construction offers minimal natural stretch, so it is important to check the size guide to ensure a comfortable fit around the bodice.
How should I store the dress?
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves and prevent shoulder creases.
Troubleshooting
Side zip feels difficult to pull up or down
Ensure the dress is fully relaxed and not pulled tight across the torso; verify no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Fabric looks wrinkled after storage
Lightly steam the garment or hang it in the bathroom while you take a hot shower to allow the steam to naturally release wrinkles.
Static buildup in the polyester fabric
Lightly mist the inside of the garment with a water-based fabric spray or a diluted mixture of water and fabric softener.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mela Dress remains in excellent condition, always follow the care label attached to the garment. Because the dress is made from polyester, it is generally recommended to machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to prevent damage to the fabric fibers or the ruffle cuffs. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the material; instead, hang the garment to air dry. If ironing is required, use a low-heat setting to avoid melting the synthetic fibers. Ensure the side zip is fully closed before washing to prevent it from snagging on other items in the load.
