FAQs

What is the fabric composition of this dress?

The dress is crafted from a woven blend of Lyocell and linen.

Is this dress suitable for taller individuals?

This dress is specifically designed with petite proportions for shorter frames. While the style can be appreciated, the length and sleeve fit may not be ideal for taller individuals.

How should I style this dress for an event?

It is recommended to pair the dress with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewellery to complement the design and allow the floral print to be the focal point.

What type of bra can be worn with the off-the-shoulder neckline?

A strapless or adhesive bra is typically recommended for off-the-shoulder styles to maintain a seamless look.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is the recommended care method to preserve the fabric and print quality. Machine washing is not advised.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

The dress is ideal for summer weddings, garden parties, race days, and other daytime formal or semi-formal events.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the dress is not overly wrinkled. Gently steam the garment on a low setting or follow care instructions for ironing. Check that the fabric is fully dry before wearing.

Ruffle detail appears uneven

Gently adjust the ruffle around the neckline by hand. The nature of the voluminous ruffle may require slight repositioning for optimal appearance.

Colour fading after washing

Confirm that cold water and a mild detergent were used, and that the dress was dried away from direct sunlight. Hand washing is highly recommended to preserve colour vibrancy.
