FAQs

What material is this dress made of?

This dress is crafted from a compact stretch polyester blend, designed for durability and a smooth, tailored fit.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The pockets are designed to be discreet and sit flush against the skirt; they are ideal for small items, but may not accommodate larger smartphones.

Can I machine wash this dress?

While the fabric is durable, the presence of metal hardware makes hand washing or professional dry cleaning the safest options to prevent damage.

How long is the dress?

The midi length falls at approximately 124cm, providing a professional, polished finish.

Is the belt removable?

The dress features an integrated belt designed to maintain the structure of the silhouette; it is intended to be worn with the garment.

Does the fabric have much stretch?

Yes, it is a compact stretch fabric, which provides a balance of firm structure and enough flexibility for daily activities.

Troubleshooting

Belt buckle looks dull or tarnished

Gently polish the hardware with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to restore shine without scratching.

Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage

Steam the dress lightly at a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to drop out naturally; avoid direct contact with a hot iron.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Defined, structured silhouette perfect for corporate settings
  • High-quality fabric that balances tailoring with stretch comfort
  • Practical integration of side pockets without adding bulk
  • Versatile design that pairs easily with heels or court shoes

Cons

  • Polyester fabric may lack the breathability of natural fibers
  • Requires careful cleaning to avoid damaging the hardware buckle
  • Fitted nature requires precise sizing for an optimal look

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the dress features polished hardware on the belt, it is important to handle the waist closure with care during dressing to avoid scratching the buckle. The garment is designed to provide a tailored fit, so it is recommended to verify your measurements against the standard UK sizing before use. For care, it is advised to check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Due to the polyester construction and metal hardware, dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water is generally recommended to preserve the fabric's finish and ensure the hardware remains free of corrosion or damage. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can compromise the stretch properties of the fabric.
