FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed as a standard UK women's fit. Because it is a wrap-style, it allows for slight adjustments at the waist.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the woven material and delicate ruffle cape, we recommend following the specific care instructions on the garment tag, which typically suggests professional cleaning.

What length is the midi skirt?

The dress falls to a midi length, which generally sits below the knee and above the ankle, depending on the wearer's height.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The dress is made from woven fabric, which offers a structured, elegant drape but limited stretch compared to jersey or spandex blends.

What type of footwear looks best with this dress?

Strappy sandals, block heels, or wedges complement the swing skirt and feminine style of the dress perfectly.

Troubleshooting

Creases in the ruffle overlay

Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting to gently release wrinkles without crushing the delicate ruffles.

Dress feels too loose at the waist

Since it is a wrap-style dress, ensure the internal ties are securely fastened before securing the outer waist tie for a tighter, more customized fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering, adjustable wrap-style fit
  • Eye-catching, unique border print pattern
  • Versatile midi-length suitable for various formal and semi-formal occasions
  • Soft, flowing sleeves add elegance without restricting arm movement

Cons

  • Woven material may require delicate care or dry cleaning
  • The cape overlay may be delicate and prone to snagging
  • Limited stretch compared to jersey-knit dresses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Wallis midi dress in pristine condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the ruffle cape and prevent unwanted creasing.
  2. Cleaning: Given the woven construction, consult the garment care label. Generally, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the print and the ruffle layering.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron or a garment steamer on low heat if the ruffle overlay needs smoothing. Avoid direct high heat on the printed fabric areas.
  4. Styling: This piece pairs best with neutral-toned footwear to complement the pink polka dot colorway.
