FAQs
Is this dress suitable for formal events?
Yes, with its elegant burgundy color, subtle gold flecks, and chic silhouette, the Tilly Dress is perfectly suited for evening events, cocktail parties, and semi-formal occasions when styled with appropriate accessories like heels and a clutch.
Can I wear this dress during pregnancy?
Absolutely! The Tilly Dress is explicitly noted as 'Good for bump dressing' due to its stretchy plisse fabric and comfortable elasticated waistband, which can comfortably accommodate a growing baby bump without sacrificing style.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from 100% Polyester, providing a comfortable stretch, a unique plisse texture, and excellent drape.
How do I achieve the off-the-shoulder look effectively?
The dress's relaxed silhouette is designed for this style. Simply pull the neckline down over your shoulders to achieve the desired off-the-shoulder effect. For a more pronounced or relaxed off-the-shoulder fit, you might find that sizing up, as the model demonstrates, works best.
What are the washing instructions for this dress?
For best care and to maintain the fabric's quality and the gold flecks, machine wash the dress at 30 degrees Celsius. It is crucial to avoid tumble drying; instead, air dry it flat or hang it to dry.
What kind of shoes should I wear with the Tilly Dress?
For a sophisticated evening look, heels are recommended. However, depending on the event's formality, elegant sandals or even dressy flats could also complement the dress beautifully.
Is the gold detailing actual glitter or part of the fabric?
The product description refers to 'subtle gold flecks,' which are integrated into the fabric's weave. These flecks are designed to catch the light for an elegant shimmer, rather than being loose glitter or embroidery, ensuring durability and minimal shedding.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose, or the off-the-shoulder look isn't right.
Consult the size chart provided, considering your current measurements. The stretchy plisse fabric offers some flexibility. If aiming for a prominent off-the-shoulder style, sizing up (as suggested in the product description) can provide a more relaxed fit for that specific look. If the fit is significantly off, consider exchanging for an alternative size.
Gold flecks appear dull or seem to be losing their sparkle.
Ensure you are strictly adhering to the 30-degree machine wash care instructions. Harsh detergents, abrasive washing, or high heat drying can damage delicate embellishments. To protect the flecks, turn the dress inside out before washing and avoid vigorous scrubbing.
The plisse fabric has lost its distinct pleats or texture after washing.
Polyester plisse is generally resilient, but improper care can affect its texture. Always air dry the dress, avoiding tumble dryers entirely. If ironing, use a very low heat setting or steam gently. Avoid overstretching the fabric when wet, as this can temporarily flatten the pleats. Storing the dress on a hanger rather than folded can also help maintain the pleats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Never Fully Dressed Burgundy Tilly Dress maintains its beauty and comfort, understanding its sizing, material, and care instructions is essential.
Sizing and Fit
The Tilly Dress features a relaxed silhouette and is made from stretchy plisse fabric for a comfortable and forgiving fit. Please refer to the size guide below to find your best fit:
| UK Size | Equivalent |
|---|---|
| XS | 4/6 |
| S | 6/8 |
| M | 10/12 |
| L | 14/16 |
| XL | 18/20 |
| XXL | 22/24 |

Material Compatibility
Made from 100% Polyester, the dress offers durability, wrinkle resistance, and excellent shape retention. This synthetic fabric contributes to its unique plisse texture and subtle sheen.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help preserve the fabric's integrity, the gold flecks, and the overall look of your dress. Follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to use a delicate cycle and a mesh laundry bag to protect the plisse texture and prevent snagging.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hang dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the plisse texture and potentially affect the gold flecks and fabric structure.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, preferably inside out, or use a steamer. Excessive heat can flatten the pleats and harm the polyester.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to help maintain the plisse texture and prevent unnecessary creasing. Avoid tightly folding the dress for long periods.
