Product Information

Full details

This elegant floral print pleated maxi dress from Wallis is designed for adult women seeking sophisticated glamour for special occasions like weddings, garden parties, or race days. Its key benefit lies in its fluid silhouette created by all-over pleating and a flattering gathered waist, offering beautiful movement and a graceful profile. A potential caveat is its floor-skimming length, which may require specific footwear for optimal styling. Key features include a high neck with a subtle keyhole detail, sleeveless design, and a stunning all-over floral print.

FAQs

What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal and semi-formal occasions such as weddings, garden parties, race days, and evening events where sophisticated glamour is desired.

How should I style this dress for cooler weather?

For cooler evenings, you can drape a lightweight pashmina or a tailored blazer over your shoulders to maintain the dress's elegant line while adding practical warmth.

What type of shoes are best with this maxi dress?

Given the floor-skimming length, heels such as strappy sandals or elegant court shoes are recommended to complement the dress's silhouette. Nude or metallic tones often work well.

Does the dress come in other colors or patterns?

This specific product is the Floral Print in White. Please check the product listing for availability of other colorways or patterns within the Wallis range.

How do I care for the pleated fabric?

Careful handling is advised. Hand washing or gentle machine washing on a low temperature and avoiding tumble drying are recommended. Check the garment's care label for precise instructions to maintain the pleats.

Is the keyhole detail adjustable?

The keyhole detail is a design feature and is not adjustable. It is designed to add a subtle contemporary touch to the high neckline.

What accessories are recommended with this dress?

Minimal jewelry is often best to let the dress speak for itself. Elegant drop earrings and a simple bracelet are suitable. A coordinating clutch bag will complete the look.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Check the care label for specific instructions. Gently steam the dress or iron on a low setting between cloth layers, focusing on the fabric rather than pressing down on pleats. Professional dry cleaning can also help restore pleats.

Color fading

Ensure the dress is washed with similar colors and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying. Use a mild detergent.

Pleats losing their definition

Avoid tumble drying and excessive heat when ironing. Store the dress carefully by folding or hanging to prevent creasing. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for maintaining pleats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate pleating and fabric, it is recommended to check the care label for specific instructions. Typically, hand washing or a gentle machine cycle on a low temperature is advised. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry, avoiding direct sunlight which can fade the print. Do not tumble dry to preserve the pleats.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron the garment inside out, or between sheets of cloth to protect the fabric and pleats. Professional dry cleaning may be the safest option for maintaining the dress's structure and appearance.
