FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, race days, graduation ceremonies, and sophisticated evening events where a statement silhouette is desired.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is crafted from a viscose-linen blend with a cotton lining, offering a refined drape and structured finish.

How should I style this dress?

It's recommended to style the dress with minimal accessories, such as block heels, simple jewelry, and an updo hairstyle, to allow the dress's unique design to be the focal point.

What is the length of the dress?

The midi length sits at approximately 133cm, designed to fall below the knee and above the ankle.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, the dress is dry clean only to preserve its fabric and structure. Please refer to the care label for detailed instructions.

What sizes are available?

This particular listing is for UK size 16. Other sizes may be available through different product listings or retailers.

Does the cape collar provide warmth?

The cape collar is primarily a design feature for aesthetic appeal and architectural silhouette. It offers minimal warmth as it is made from the same viscose-linen blend as the dress.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom or have it professionally dry-cleaned and pressed. If ironing, use a low heat setting and protect the fabric with a pressing cloth.

Neckline/cape doesn't drape as expected

Ensure the dress is properly fitted. Adjust the way the cape drapes over the shoulder. Sometimes a slight adjustment in posture can enhance the drape.

Hemline appears uneven

The handkerchief hem is designed to be asymmetric and varied. This is an intended design feature, not a fault.
