FAQs
Is this dress suitable for office wear?
Yes, with appropriate undergarments or a minor adjustment to the V-neckline, this dress can be suitable for many office environments. Pairing it with a blazer can enhance its professional look.
What shoes pair best with this dress?
The dress is highly versatile. For casual wear, try trainers or flat boots. For a more formal occasion, heels or dressy sandals work well.
How do I adjust the wrap tie?
The wrap features an internal tie and an external tie. Thread the internal tie through the corresponding opening on the side seam, then tie the external tie securely around your waist to achieve your desired fit.
Can I wear this dress during warmer months?
Absolutely. The soft jersey fabric is breathable, and the 3/4 length sleeves can be comfortably worn in warmer weather. It can also be styled with sandals for a lighter feel.
What is the length of the midi skirt for a size 18 petite?
The midi length is specifically designed to fall at an appropriate point for petite frames, typically mid-calf, ensuring it doesn't overwhelm shorter statures.
How does the jersey fabric hold up over time?
The cotton-blend jersey is designed for comfort and durability. Following the care instructions will help maintain its shape and softness.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too long despite being petite fit.
Adjust the tie on the wrap to cinch the waist higher, which can alter the perceived length of the skirt. Ensure the wrap is tied securely.
V-neckline is too low.
Consider adding a subtle stitch to secure the overlap, or wear a camisole underneath for added coverage.
Fabric pilling after several washes.
Wash the dress inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying. Consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
