The Wallis Polka Dot Border Cape Sleeve Midi Dress is designed for women seeking a sophisticated yet comfortable aesthetic for daytime events and social gatherings.

FAQs
Is this dress appropriate for formal events?
It is perfect for semi-formal, daytime occasions like garden parties or luncheons, though it may be too casual for black-tie events.
What kind of shoes match this dress?
Strappy sandals, block heels, or refined wedges work best with the midi length and feminine style.
Does the dress have a lining?
The dress is crafted from a woven fabric; check your specific garment tag for details on lining, though it is designed to be opaque.
Can I machine wash this item?
It is highly recommended to use a gentle machine cycle or hand wash to protect the integrity of the ruffle cape and the defined waist stitching.
How does the size UK 22 fit?
The dress is designed to follow standard UK sizing, featuring a cinched waist that is meant to provide a tailored, feminine fit.
Will the polka dot print fade?
To preserve the vibrancy of the border print, always wash the dress inside out in cold water and avoid direct, prolonged sunlight when drying.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon taking out of storage
Use a handheld steamer on a low setting to gently remove creases without crushing the ruffle details.
Dress fit feels tight at the waist
Ensure the wrap-style closure is adjusted properly. If the fit remains restrictive, consider wearing undergarments designed to provide a smooth, comfortable foundation.
Ruffle overlay appearing flat or misaligned
Gently shake the garment while it hangs to allow the ruffles to fall naturally. You can also lightly steam them to restore their volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the dress, always consult the internal garment label for specific washing instructions. Given the ruffle cape overlay and woven construction, it is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent distortion of the delicate trim. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can shrink the fabric or damage the structure of the waist. When storing, hang the dress on a sturdy hanger to prevent the cape from creasing and to maintain the flare of the midi skirt. Steaming is the preferred method for removing wrinkles, as direct contact with a hot iron may flatten the ruffled elements or scorch the fabric.
