FAQs

What occasions is this dress 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 sophisticated tailoring and design.

How can I style this dress for colder weather?

You can layer a fitted roll-neck sweater or a fine knit top beneath the high neckline for an unexpected but chic approach, and add tights and boots.

What is the length of the midi skirt?

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

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from tailored cotton fabric with a smooth, crisp finish.

How should I care for this dress?

Always refer to the garment's care label. Typically, tailored cotton is best dry cleaned or gently machine washed on a cold cycle. Iron on a medium heat setting.

Does the belt come attached?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing

Ensure the dress is ironed while slightly damp on a medium heat setting, following the care label instructions. Consider professional dry cleaning for best results.

Belt buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten

Gently work the buckle back and forth. If the stiffness persists, consult the care label for any specific lubricant recommendations (though this is rare for clothing accessories).

Fabric feels less crisp than expected

Ensure the dress has been ironed correctly according to care instructions. High-quality cotton can sometimes soften with wear, but proper ironing should restore crispness.
