FAQs

Is this dress suitable for office wear?

Yes, its sophisticated pencil cut and classic V-neck make it appropriate for formal office environments or professional evening dinners.

How long is the dress?

The centre back length of the dress is 103cm, typically falling just below the knees for most adult heights.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is not recommended to tumble dry this dress. Air drying is best to protect the satin material.

Does the dress have pockets?

No, this design focuses on a streamlined, silhouette-focused aesthetic without pockets.

Where is the dress manufactured?

This garment is designed and manufactured in London.

What type of fabric is used?

The dress is made from high-quality satin material and includes a full internal lining.

Troubleshooting

Invisible zipper is sticking

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently apply a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth to lubricate them.

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to drop out naturally.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated V-neck design
  • Flattering knee-length pencil cut
  • Fully lined construction
  • Versatile for cocktail parties and formal events
  • Machine washable for convenience

Cons

  • Satin material may be prone to snagging
  • Figure-hugging fit may require specific undergarments
  • Limited stretch compared to jersey fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Hot Squash cocktail dress in peak condition, always use the invisible zipper carefully, pulling slowly to avoid catching the fabric teeth. While the dress is machine washable, it is recommended to use a gentle cycle with a delicate detergent. To maintain the integrity of the satin, consider using a laundry bag during wash cycles. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this may affect the fit or fabric texture; air drying on a padded hanger is the preferred method for preserving the shape and structural integrity of the dress.
