FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is highly versatile and can be worn for a variety of occasions, including evening events, cocktail parties, dinners, and even smart daytime gatherings when styled appropriately.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart. Given the figure-hugging fit, you may want to consult measurements for bust, waist, and hips. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a slightly more relaxed fit.

Can the zip be fully opened?

The zip detail is designed for customisation and can be adjusted to create different neckline depths. It is not intended to be fully opened, but rather to allow for variable fit and style.

How should I care for the chiffon sleeves?

The chiffon sleeves are delicate. Hand wash the entire garment in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. Gently steam the sleeves on a low setting if needed, rather than ironing directly.

Is the knit fabric stretchy?

Yes, the knit fabric is designed to be soft and stretchy, providing a figure-hugging fit while maintaining comfort. Proper care is essential to preserve this elasticity.

What type of undergarments are best with this dress?

Due to the V-neckline and figure-hugging fit, seamless undergarments are recommended. Consider a plunge bra or adhesive bra options depending on how low you adjust the zip.

Can this dress be altered?

Minor alterations may be possible, but it is recommended to consult with a professional tailor experienced with knitwear and delicate fabrics like chiffon to avoid damaging the garment.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Adjust the front zip to create a wider opening and a less constricting V-neckline. Ensure the fabric has been properly cared for to maintain its stretch and softness.

Chiffon sleeves appear creased

Gently steam the chiffon sleeves on a low heat setting. Avoid direct ironing on the chiffon fabric to prevent damage. Ensure the dress is hung properly to prevent creasing during storage.

Knit fabric shows signs of stretching or loss of shape

Ensure the dress is dried flat and never tumble dried. Store on a padded hanger to support the shoulders and prevent the fabric from stretching out of shape over time. Avoid overcrowding your closet.

Zip is difficult to move

Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it catches, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of wax or lubricant can sometimes help smooth the zip's action. Ensure you are not forcing the zip.
