Leather sandals, espadrille wedges, canvas trainers, or simple flats all complement this dress well depending on the occasion.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears too large or too small.

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying a different size if available.

Broderie detailing looks stretched or damaged after washing.

Ensure you followed the recommended gentle washing and drying instructions. Hand wash and lay flat to dry are the safest methods.

Belt tie is difficult to fasten or keep in place.

Ensure the belt is threaded through the loops correctly. Tie a secure knot, such as a double knot, for extra hold.
