FAQs

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

How do I ensure the best fit?

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, this dress is 'Dry Clean Only' to preserve its structure, fabric integrity, and color.

What type of undergarments should I wear?

Given the asymmetric neckline and structured fit, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Consider a strapless or convertible bra if needed.

How can I style this dress for a modern look?

Pairing the dress with pointed ankle boots instead of traditional heels can create a modern, edgy aesthetic. Statement jewelry can further enhance the look.

The dress is made from a stretch compact fabric, designed to offer comfort while maintaining structure.

Does the belt come attached?

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch fabric offers some give, but the structured fit is intended. Consider if the belt is fastened too tightly.

Peplum or ruffle detail is creased

Refer to the care instructions for ironing. Use a cool iron on the reverse side, or consider professional steaming.

Color fading or fabric damage after cleaning

Always adhere to the 'Dry Clean Only' instruction. Improper cleaning methods can damage the fabric and affect the color.
