FAQs
Does the belt come with the dress?
Yes, the dress includes the statement belt with an oversized circular buckle as part of the design.
What material is this dress made from?
This model is crafted from a durable, high-quality woven fabric, with specific hardware components made from zinc.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the intricate shirred detailing and the metal belt hardware, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended to preserve the dress.
How does the size 18 fit?
This garment is sized according to standard UK sizing for a size 18, utilizing shirring for a flexible but structured fit around the waist.
Is the V-neckline too deep?
The V-neck is designed to be deep for an elegant aesthetic; however, it can be adjusted with a small piece of fashion tape if you desire more coverage.
Is this suitable for outdoor events?
Absolutely. The woven structure and cap sleeves make it an excellent choice for terrace lunches or garden gatherings.
Troubleshooting
Belt feels loose or slips
Ensure the prong is securely seated in the belt eyelet; if the belt is too loose, you may need an additional hole punched by a professional cobbler.
Wrinkling during travel
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes or use a cool garment steamer on the reverse side of the woven fabric.
Hemline catching on shoes
Pair with a higher heel or have a professional tailor shorten the hem by a few centimeters to match your natural gait.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the garment, always check the internal care label. Given the presence of metal components in the buckle and the shirred detailing, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent damage to the fabric structure. When storing, hang the dress on a padded hanger to avoid shoulder dimples, and ensure the belt is stored separately or loosely fastened to avoid fabric tension. The dress is designed for standard UK size 18 measurements; however, if the belt feels tight, the shirred waistband is designed to provide additional flexibility.
