How do I find the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and consider the measurements provided. Given the form-fitting nature, you may want to pay close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. As the dress is form-fitting, consider the type of undergarments worn. Seamless undergarments can help create a smoother silhouette.

Pilling on the wool fabric

Pilling is a natural occurrence with knitwear. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or by carefully picking them off. Avoid excessive rubbing.

Loss of shape after washing

Always follow the recommended care instructions. Lay flat to dry and avoid any form of machine drying, which can distort the fabric.
