FAQs

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

This dress is ideal for elevated daywear occasions such as gallery openings, business lunches, smart weddings, and formal garden parties due to its expert tailoring and sophisticated design.

How should I style this dress for cooler weather?

For cooler months, layer a fitted roll-neck sweater beneath the high neckline. A fitted blazer or a tailored coat also complements the dress's silhouette.

What is the recommended cleaning method?

Dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the fabric's quality and the dress's structure. If hand washing is attempted, use cold water and a mild detergent, then lay flat to dry.

What is the approximate length of the midi skirt?

The full pleated midi skirt falls to an elegant length of approximately 134cm.

Can this dress be worn for evening events?

Yes, the clean lines and precise cut allow the dress to transition effortlessly from day to evening. Simply swap a tote bag for a sleek clutch.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from tailored cotton fabric, known for its smooth, crisp finish that holds its shape well.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron with a pressing cloth on a low heat. Ensure the dress is fully dry before storing.

Belt buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten.

Ensure the buckle holes are clear of any fabric or debris. If the buckle is new, it may loosen slightly with use. Avoid forcing the buckle.

Fabric loses its crispness after washing.

Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric's structure. If hand washing, use a very mild detergent and avoid wringing or excessive agitation. Ensure proper drying techniques are followed.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Due to the tailored nature and cotton fabric, it is recommended to dry clean this dress to maintain its structure and crisp finish. Alternatively, a gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent may be considered, but professional cleaning is advised.
Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably with a pressing cloth, to protect the fabric and the buckle detail. Steaming can also be used to remove creases.
