FAQs

Is this dress true to size?

The dress is designed for a close, compact fit. It is recommended to follow standard UK sizing, keeping in mind the petite-specific proportions.

Can this dress be machine washed?

While the material is polyester, the structured paneling requires dry cleaning to maintain its sculptural shape and finish.

Is the dress lined?

The compact stretch fabric is designed to be substantial enough to hold its shape while remaining comfortable, providing a smooth, opaque finish.

Does it have a zipper?

The dress features a concealed closure system designed to maintain the seamless, architectural look of the bodice.

What kind of undergarments work best?

Due to the structured paneling and the clean neckline, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain the dress's smooth silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Minor wrinkling in the skirt

Use a garment steamer on a low setting; avoid direct contact with a hot iron which may damage the stretch fibers.

Fabric snagging

Be mindful of sharp jewelry or rough surfaces when wearing; if a snag occurs, do not pull, as it may compromise the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care guidelines:

Cleaning: Due to the structured panels, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the shape.
Storage: Always hang the dress using wide-shouldered hangers to prevent creases in the bodice structure.
Layering: This piece pairs exceptionally well with metallic accessories due to the gold accents. Consider pairing with a slim-fit blazer for a professional aesthetic or a light wrap for evening affairs.
Handling: Avoid exposure to heavy perfumes or direct contact with makeup during dressing, as the white fabric is prone to transfer.
