FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is primarily made from Cotton, providing a comfortable yet structured feel.

How should I care for this dress?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fabric quality and tailored shape. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the sleeveless design is suitable for warmer weather. For cooler conditions or a more formal look, it can be paired with a blazer or elegant cardigan.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, designed to fall below the knee.

How does the godet pleating affect the fit?

The godet pleating adds volume and movement to the hemline of the skirt, creating a more dynamic and flattering silhouette without altering the fit of the bodice or waist.

Is this dress suitable for petite frames?

The midi length and tailored fit are generally suitable for various heights, but petite individuals may find the midi length hits lower. Pairing with heels can help balance the proportions.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements. Given the tailored fit, checking reviews for fit advice can also be helpful.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears too tight or loose in certain areas.

Consider trying a different size. The structured fit is key to its silhouette; consult the size guide carefully or try adjacent sizes.

Godet pleats do not lay as expected.

Ensure the dress is hung correctly. Minor adjustments might be needed after dry cleaning; professional pressing can help restore the pleat structure.

Fabric feels stiff after initial wear.

This is typical of a structured tailored garment. Dry cleaning will help soften the fabric over time while maintaining its shape.

Check pattern alignment seems off.

Due to the nature of the godet pleating and tailored seams, slight pattern variations are part of the design's artisanal quality. Check for major misalignments which might indicate a defect.
