How should I determine my size?

Please refer to the brand's specific size guide, which typically provides measurements for bust, waist, and hips. Comparing these to your own measurements will help you find the best fit.

What is the material of the dress?

While the exact composition isn't detailed here, dresses of this style are often made from breathable fabrics like cotton blends or polyester blends, suitable for summer wear.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, it can be layered. Pair it with a cardigan, jacket, tights, and boots for a cozy autumn or spring look.

How long is the dress?

The approximate length is 120cm (47.2"), measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.

What type of bra is recommended for the square neckline?

A standard bra with straps is usually suitable. For a seamless look, consider strapless or convertible bras if preferred.

How should I store the dress?

Store the dress on a hanger to maintain its shape, or fold it neatly in a drawer. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to prevent unnecessary wrinkles.

Troubleshooting

Dress seams are coming undone

Carefully hand-stitch any loose seams or seek professional alteration services for a more durable repair.

Color fades after washing

Ensure washing with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and wash in cold water. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth can help smooth its movement.

Dress does not fit as expected

Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements before purchasing. Consider alterations if minor adjustments are needed.
