FAQs

Is this dress suitable for petite frames?

Yes, this dress is specifically designed with petite proportions, meaning the silhouette, sleeve length, and hem are balanced for a shorter frame.

What type of bra should I wear with the off-the-shoulder neckline?

A strapless bra or adhesive bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the off-the-shoulder design. The adjustable shoulder straps offer some support.

How should I care for the Lyocell and linen blend fabric?

The dress should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. It is best to hang or lay flat to dry and iron on a low setting if needed. Avoid dry cleaning.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal daytime events such as summer weddings, garden parties, race days, and other celebrations where a sophisticated and romantic aesthetic is desired.

Can the sleeve length be adjusted?

The sleeves are designed as billowing long sleeves with shirred, elasticated cuffs. While the cuffs offer some flexibility, the overall sleeve length is fixed.

What is the return policy if the size doesn't fit?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too long

Given the petite sizing, the maxi length may require professional hemming to achieve the perfect floor length for your height. Alternatively, wearing heels can help adjust the perceived length.

Neckline slips down

Ensure the adjustable shoulder straps are tightened to your preference. The off-the-shoulder design naturally sits lower, but the straps provide a secure fit. If issues persist, consider fashion tape for extra security.

Fabric wrinkles easily

This is common with natural fiber blends. Hang the dress immediately after washing and drying. Use a low-heat iron or a steamer to gently remove wrinkles. Avoid over-packing the dress.
