FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

Yes, it follows standard UK sizing. Use the included belt to achieve a more precise fit at the waist.

Can I iron this dress?

Avoid direct ironing on the beaded or embroidered areas. If necessary, use a cool iron on the underside of the skirt panels only, or use a steamer at a safe distance.

What is the primary material composition?

The dress features a mix of woven grid-check panels and a smooth fabric base. Please refer to the internal care label for specific fibre content.

Is the belt removable?

Yes, the matching covered buckle belt is removable, allowing you to style the dress with other accessories if desired.

Does the dress have pockets?

No, this design focuses on a streamlined silhouette and does not include pockets.

Troubleshooting

Belt buckle feeling loose

Check the internal prong of the buckle to ensure it is aligned with the pre-punched hole in the belt strap.

Sleeve cuffs feeling tight

The elasticated cuffs are designed to hold their shape; avoid pulling the fabric aggressively, as this may compromise the elastic tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated design with artisan-level detailing
  • Flattering, adjustable silhouette via the matching belt
  • High-quality textile contrast adds visual depth
  • Versatile for various semi-formal occasions

Cons

  • Requires dry cleaning due to beadwork
  • Intricate embroidery requires careful handling to avoid snagging
  • Limited stretch due to structured fabric panels

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: The dress includes a matching buckle belt. Ensure the belt is threaded correctly to maintain the nipped-in waistline profile.
  2. Storage: Always store this garment on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the blouson sleeves and prevent the embroidery from snagging on adjacent items.
  3. Cleaning: Due to the intricate beading and floral embroidery, this dress must be dry cleaned by a professional. Do not attempt to machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Handling: Avoid wearing sharp jewellery or accessories near the bodice to prevent pulling the delicate embroidered threads.
