FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from high-quality ponte fabric, which offers a comfortable, structured feel with excellent drape.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements. The fit-and-flare silhouette allows for some flexibility, but waist and bust measurements are key.

Can this dress be worn for formal events?

Yes, with the right styling. Pair it with strappy stilettos, elegant jewelry, and an evening clutch for a formal occasion.

What type of bra should I wear with the deep V-neckline?

Consider a plunge bra or adhesive bra solutions for a seamless look under the deep V-neckline.

Is the belt removable?

The dress comes with a belt that is designed to cinch the waist. While it can be removed, the dress is designed to be worn with it for optimal silhouette definition.

How should I care for the navy color?

To prevent color fading, it is best to dry clean the dress. If hand washing is attempted, use cold water and a mild detergent, and avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is hung properly on a suitable hanger. If the issue persists, consider professional tailoring for a perfect fit.

Zipper is difficult to close

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a professional tailor may be able to assist.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Gently iron the dress on a low heat setting on the reverse side. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.
