FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress follows standard sizing; however, the wrap design allows for some flexibility in the fit.

Can I tumble dry this dress?

It is not recommended. Machine drying may damage the delicate pompom trim and intricate embroidery.

What material is the dress made from?

It is crafted from a linen-blend fabric, which offers both durability and breathability.

Does the dress have a lining?

The product features a sophisticated construction, but please refer to the internal care label for specific fabric layering details.

Can I wear this for formal occasions?

Yes, its sophisticated cut and detailed embroidery make it suitable for semi-formal day events and smart-casual outings.

Troubleshooting

The embroidery has snagged on an object.

Gently maneuver the loop back into the embroidery pattern using a fine sewing needle. Do not pull or cut the thread.

The fabric appears wrinkled after storage.

Lightly steam the garment or use a cool iron while the fabric is slightly damp to smooth out natural linen creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment uses an attached belt, ensure the wrap is secured comfortably before fastening the belt to prevent the dress from shifting during wear. To maintain the integrity of the openwork embroidery and the pompom trim, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius.
  2. Drying: Air dry is recommended to preserve the shape of the ruffles and avoid damage to the pompom trim.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-heat setting suitable for linen blends; it is best to iron inside out to protect the embroidery.
  4. Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the shoulders and avoid accidental snags on the embroidery.
