The dress falls to a midi length, which is approximately 123cm from the shoulder to the hem.
The dress is made from a compact stretch polyester fabrication.
It is recommended to dry clean the dress. Alternatively, a gentle hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent is possible, but avoid bleach, tumble drying, and machine washing to maintain its structure and detailing.
Yes, the compact stretch fabrication is designed to offer a smooth, sculpted fit that moves with ease and holds its shape throughout the day, providing both style and comfort.
While the polyester blend offers a smooth finish, it may not be as breathable as natural fibers. For very warm conditions, consider lighter layering options or ensure adequate ventilation. The sleeveless design does offer some relief.
To let the dress remain the centrepiece, understated accessories are recommended. Consider a structured clutch and delicate gold jewellery, paired with strappy heeled sandals for a refined finish.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The compact stretch fabric offers a sculpted fit, so a size up might provide more ease if needed. Consider the type of undergarments worn, as seamless options can enhance comfort.
Carefully inspect the fastenings. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made with a needle and thread. For significant issues, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner experienced with delicate garments.
Hang the dress immediately after wearing. Use a steamer on a low setting or a cool iron on the reverse side to gently remove wrinkles. The compact stretch fabric is designed to hold its shape, but minor creasing can occur with extended wear.
This dress requires no setup; it is ready to wear. Its design is self-contained, focusing on the garment itself. For care, due to the polyester material and intricate detailing, it is recommended to follow the care label instructions precisely. Typically, this would involve dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash to preserve the fabric's integrity and the button details. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying to prevent damage. Iron on a low heat setting if necessary, preferably on the reverse side.
