FAQs

Is this dress suitable for petite frames?

Yes, this dress is specifically designed with petite proportions to ensure the silhouette, sleeve length, and hem fall in perfect balance for shorter frames.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from a woven blend of Lyocell and linen, offering a natural drape and comfortable feel.

How should I wash this dress?

It is recommended to hand wash the dress in cold water with a mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What kind of occasions is this dress best for?

The dress is ideal for formal occasions such as summer weddings, garden parties, and race days, where a refined yet romantic aesthetic is desired.

Can the shoulder straps be removed?

The shoulder straps are delicate and adjustable, designed to add a refined finishing touch. They are not intended to be removed.

How can I style this dress for a formal event?

Pair with strappy heeled sandals and minimal jewelry. The dress itself is a statement piece, so keep accessories simple to let it shine.

What is the fit like?

The dress features an off-the-shoulder neckline with voluminous sleeves and a flowing maxi skirt, designed for an elegant and romantic silhouette. Adjustable shoulder straps allow for a personalized fit.

Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Avoid over-ironing.

Off-the-shoulder neckline slips.

Ensure the adjustable shoulder straps are tightened appropriately for a secure fit. Consider using fashion tape for extra security if needed.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water. Air dry away from direct heat. A very light steam may help soften the fabric.

Print appears faded.

This is likely an intended artistic effect of the watercolour print. Avoid excessive washing or harsh cleaning agents which could degrade the print over time.
