FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The Mela dress features a gently waisted silhouette. If you prefer a looser fit around the midsection, consider comparing your measurements against a standard UK size 20 chart.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is recommended to avoid tumble drying to prevent heat damage to the synthetic fibers and to preserve the ruffle cuffs.
What kind of bra works best with this neckline?
A standard round neckline is compatible with most bra styles, including t-shirt bras or balconette styles.
Is the material stretchy?
The dress is made from polyester, which generally has limited stretch. The flattering silhouette is achieved through the cut rather than fabric elasticity.
Is this suitable for formal events?
Yes, with the right accessories like metallic heels and elegant jewelry, the dress can easily be dressed up for formal occasions.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no loose fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of candle wax to the teeth if the issue persists.
Wrinkling after storage
Lightly steam the garment or hang it in a steamy bathroom for several minutes to allow the fibers to relax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the dress is crafted from polyester, it is relatively durable and resistant to shrinking. To keep your garment in the best condition, follow these care steps:
- Washing: Use a delicate cycle with cold water to protect the ruffle cuff detailing.
- Drying: Air dry the dress on a hanger to prevent unwanted creases and protect the fabric finish.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting if necessary, but avoid direct contact with delicate trim areas.
- Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the waisted silhouette.
