FAQs

What is the exact color of the dress?

The dress is described by the designer as 'Pannacotta/Crystal,' which is a shade of white. It aims for a sophisticated, possibly off-white or subtly nuanced white hue.

Can this dress be machine washed?

No, the dress is strictly 'specialist clean only.' Machine washing will likely damage the fabric and construction.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal events, evening wear, weddings, galas, and other sophisticated gatherings where an elegant statement is desired.

How should I store the dress?

Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and prevent creasing. Avoid folding it tightly for long periods.

Is the dress true to size?

Based on standard sizing, the UK 14 should fit as expected. However, for precise fit, refer to general size charts and consider the specific measurements if available.

What is the origin of this dress?

This dress is made in Italy, indicating high standards of fashion production and design.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from 100% viscose.

Troubleshooting

Dress has wrinkles after shipping

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, ensuring the steamer does not directly touch the fabric for prolonged periods. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short duration.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If resistance persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth, and try again carefully.

Fabric appears dull or lacks sheen

This can occur with viscose. Ensure the garment has been cleaned according to specialist instructions. Sometimes, light steaming can help restore some of its natural luster.

Pros and Cons

  • Elegant and sophisticated design suitable for formal events.

  • Authentic Italian craftsmanship.
  • Subtle yet impactful details like the mockneck and gathered jersey.

Cons

  • Requires specialist cleaning, which can be inconvenient and costly.
  • Viscose can be prone to wrinkling if not handled carefully.
  • Specific sizing (UK 14) limits immediate availability for other sizes.
  • Color name (Pannacotta/Crystal) might not be universally understood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Upon arrival, it may require steaming to remove any packing wrinkles.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, this dress is best suited for formal and semi-formal occasions. Its styling is versatile for various body types within the specified size range.

Care Instructions:

  • Specialist Clean Only: Due to the delicate nature of the 100% viscose fabric and embellishments, professional cleaning is mandatory. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning unless explicitly stated as safe by a specialist.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Consider using a pressing cloth to protect the material.
