FAQs

What is the total length of the dress?

The dress falls to approximately 130cm from the center back.

Can this dress be machine washed?

Due to the delicate knit construction and decorative buttons, dry cleaning or hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the garment.

What material are the buttons made of?

The decorative military-style buttons contain zinc.

Is the dress suitable for winter?

The long-sleeved knit design provides moderate warmth, making it excellent for autumn and spring, or winter events when paired with a coat.

Does the dress fit true to size?

The ribbed bodice is designed to be close-fitting, while the A-line skirt is loose and fluid. We recommend selecting your standard size.

Can I wear a necklace with the crew neckline?

Yes, the crew neckline is an excellent base for a pendant necklace or layered gold chains that complement the military buttons.

Troubleshooting

Visible snag in the ribbed knit

Use a knitting needle or a snag repair tool to gently pull the pulled thread back through to the inside of the garment.

Dull or tarnished gold buttons

Gently polish the buttons with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Garment losing shape

Always fold the dress for long-term storage rather than hanging it to prevent fabric sagging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for diverse social events
  • Flattering A-line silhouette that provides movement
  • Sophisticated gold-toned military hardware adds a premium touch
  • Comfortable knit material ensures ease of wear
  • Long sleeve construction makes it ideal for transitional seasons

Cons

  • Decorative buttons may require delicate handling
  • Dry cleaning or careful hand washing is recommended due to metal hardware
  • The 130cm length may require tailoring for shorter frames

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment includes zinc-based decorative military buttons, it requires specific care to prevent damage. We recommend professional dry cleaning or gentle hand washing in cool water, ensuring the garment is laid flat to dry to maintain the shape of the knit fibers. Avoid hanging the dress on thin wire hangers, as the weight of the maxi length can cause the shoulders to stretch; instead, store it folded or use padded hangers. The dress is compatible with a wide range of accessories, though it is best to avoid sharp jewelry that could snag the ribbed knit fabric.
