FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a stretch-infused knit fabric, primarily composed of polyester, designed for a body-conscious fit.

How should I care for the tassel fringe?

The tassel fringe requires careful handling. Professional dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cold water and mild detergent, then lay flat to dry. Avoid direct heat and excessive manipulation of the fringe.

What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for sophisticated occasion dressing, including weddings, summer races, gala evenings, and milestone celebrations where making a lasting impression is desired.

Can I wear accessories with this dress?

Yes, minimalist accessories like a sleek clutch and delicate jewelry are recommended. The square neckline can accommodate a simple pendant or statement earrings, but choose one focal point.

What is the approximate length of the dress?

The midi-to-maxi length is approximately 95.5 cm.

Does the dress have a lot of stretch?

Yes, the dress features a stretch-infused knit fabric that ensures a close, body-conscious fit that moves with ease.

What is the recommended way to store this dress?

It is best to store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and allow the fringe to hang freely without getting crushed or tangled.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

The stretch-infused knit is designed for a body-conscious fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. If the fit is uncomfortable, consider if this style aligns with your preferred fit.

Tassel fringe appears tangled or uneven

Gently try to detangle the fringe by hand. Avoid pulling. If the issue persists after careful handling, professional dry cleaning may help reset the fringe. Store the garment so the fringe can hang freely.

Visible seam lines are too prominent

The visible seam detailing is a design feature that sculpts the silhouette. Ensure the dress is smoothed correctly against the body. If the seams are causing discomfort or are not lying flat as intended, double-check the fit and size.

Fabric snagged or pulled

Minor snags can sometimes be carefully pulled from the reverse side of the fabric. For more significant damage, professional repair by a tailor experienced with knitwear may be necessary.

Cons

  • The delicate fringe may require specialized care to prevent tangling or damage.
  • Stretch knit fabric might be prone to snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required. Simply try on and style.

Compatibility:

  • Styling: Pairs well with strappy heels (metallic, nude, or black), delicate fine jewelry, and sleek clutches. The square neckline is suited for pendant necklaces or statement earrings.
  • Occasions: Best suited for formal events, evening wear, weddings, races, and celebrations.

Care Instructions:

  • Due to the delicate nature of the bandage knit and tassel fringe, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain the integrity and shape of the garment.
  • If hand washing is attempted, use cold water with a mild detergent. Do not wring or twist. Gently squeeze out excess water.
  • Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry, reshaping the garment while damp. Avoid direct heat or sunlight.
  • Ironing should be done with extreme care, preferably on a low setting and inside out, or by using a pressing cloth. Avoid direct contact with the fringe.
  • Store on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or damage to the shoulder straps and to allow the fringe to hang freely.
