FAQs
What is the approximate length of the midi skirt?
The midi length design falls approximately 125cm from the centre back.
Can I machine wash the entire dress?
It is recommended to care for the bodice and skirt separately due to their different materials. Hand wash or gentle cycle for the bodice, and spot clean/wipe the PU skirt.
What type of fabric is the bodice made from?
The bodice is made from a ribbed viscose knit, offering a flattering, form-fitting silhouette.
How should I style this dress for a formal event?
For a formal event, pair the dress with heels, statement jewelry, and a clutch bag. A sleek updo would complement the square neckline.
What shoes are recommended with this dress?
The dress can be styled with knee-high boots for a chic look, or with trainers for a more casual vibe. Heels are also suitable for evening wear.
Is the PU skirt waterproof?
The PU skirt is water-resistant and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, but it is not designed to be submerged in water or fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
PU skirt appears creased
Gently steam the reverse side of the skirt on a low setting, ensuring the iron does not directly touch the PU. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
Viscose bodice losing shape after washing
Ensure the bodice is laid flat to dry, not hung, to prevent stretching. Refer to specific washing instructions for viscose blends.
Discoloration on PU skirt
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid colored cloths that might transfer dye. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is ready to wear upon arrival.
Care Instructions:
- Bodice: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Lay flat to dry.
- Skirt: Wipe the PU pleated skirt with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can damage the PU material. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the skirt.
- Ironing: Iron the bodice on a low heat setting. Avoid ironing the PU skirt directly; if creases are present, a cool iron may be used on the reverse side with a protective cloth, or consider professional steaming.
Material Compatibility:
This dress is designed for adult wear. The combination of viscose and PU means it should be kept away from prolonged direct sunlight and heat sources which can degrade the PU.
