FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed with a tailored fit. We recommend checking the size guide against your measurements for the best results.

Can I wear this to a wedding?

Yes, its refined silhouette and elegant midi length make it highly suitable for formal occasions like weddings.

How should I store this dress?

Hang the dress on a wide, sturdy hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect the boucle texture.

Is the material stretchy?

The bodice and skirt are designed for a structured, tailored look rather than a stretch fit.

What kind of shoes match this dress?

Heeled pumps or elegant mules in metallic or neutral tones work best to complement the midi length.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles in the pleats

Use a professional garment steamer on a low heat setting, keeping distance from the frayed trim to avoid scorching.

Threads coming loose from the frayed trim

Do not pull loose threads; use small fabric scissors to carefully trim any excessive fraying to maintain the intentional aesthetic.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality textured boucle fabric provides tactile interest
  • Tailored fit with a defined waist creates a flattering silhouette
  • Full skirt offers excellent movement and comfort for all-day wear
  • Sophisticated design suitable for both formal and professional environments

Cons

  • Specific midi length may require tailoring for shorter frames
  • Requires dry cleaning or delicate care to preserve the frayed trim
  • Ornate buttons may catch on delicate materials if not handled carefully

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment uses a mixture of high-quality fabrics, it is important to treat it with care. We recommend storing the dress on a high-quality, wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the structure of the bodice and prevent the pleated skirt from creasing. When pairing with accessories, choose minimalist silver-tone jewelry that complements the existing ornate buttons. For cleaning, follow the care label strictly; due to the frayed trim and boucle texture, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended over machine washing to prevent structural damage or fabric pilling. Ensure the lining is not pulled during dressing to avoid stretching the inner seams.
