FAQs
Is this dress suitable for office wear?
Yes, the mock neck, elbow-length sleeves, and midi length are designed with professional environments in mind.
How long is the dress?
This petite version is approximately 113cm in length.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is highly recommended to follow the care label instructions; generally, bandage knits perform best with delicate hand-washing or professional dry cleaning.
Does the dress have much stretch?
The fabric is a structured, firm bandage knit designed to hold shape, so it has less "give" than typical stretch jersey fabrics.
What kind of shoes pair best with this midi length?
Strappy heeled sandals or classic pumps work best to elongate the legs and balance the midi hemline.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to have slight pulls or snags
Carefully use a knit comb or gently pull the loop through to the inside of the garment using a thin needle to restore the surface appearance.
Buckle hardware loses shine
Gently buff the gold-tone buckle with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils and restore the finish.
Fit feels too tight around the waist
Ensure the wrap construction is aligned correctly at the side; adjusting the positioning can often alleviate tension at the buckle point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment uses specific knit materials and metallic hardware, proper care is essential to maintain its longevity. Always check the interior garment label for specific laundering instructions. Due to the firm structure, it is recommended to store this dress on a wide, contoured hanger to prevent shoulder indentation. When wearing, ensure that jewelry or bags do not snag on the knit fabric. If you are between sizes, consider opting for the larger size to ensure the bandage material does not feel overly restrictive on the torso.
