FAQs
What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is highly versatile and suitable for formal dinners, evening receptions, gallery openings, art events, upscale daytime gatherings, garden parties, weddings, and other celebrations where a sophisticated statement is desired.
How should I style this dress?
For evening events, pair with strappy heels and minimal jewelry to let the print and sleeves be the focus. For daytime events, consider elegant flat sandals and a structured clutch. Statement earrings can also complement the high neckline for evening wear.
What is the fabric composition?
The dress is made from 100% Polyester woven fabric.
How do I clean the dress?
Dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the fabric's structure, the print's integrity, and the overall quality of the garment.
Does the dress run true to size?
This dress follows standard UK women's sizing. Refer to a size guide if unsure, and consider the intended fit, especially around the shoulders and sleeves.
Can the length be altered?
Yes, like most maxi dresses, the length can be altered by a professional tailor to achieve a perfect floor-sweeping fit for your height.
Are there other sizes or colours available?
This specific listing is for size 16 in green. Other sizes may be available from different listings or retailers.
Troubleshooting
Dress wrinkles easily
Ensure the dress is hung immediately after wearing. Use a cool iron on the reverse side if necessary. Consider steaming the garment for a gentle wrinkle removal.
Color fading or print distortion
Strictly adhere to dry-clean-only instructions. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Sleeves losing their volume
Ensure the dress is stored hanging, not folded. The woven fabric should naturally retain some structure, but excessive pressing might flatten the sleeves.

Care Instructions:
