FAQs
How should I care for the PU pleated skirt?
The PU skirt should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, dry cleaning, and direct heat or harsh chemicals. Air dry away from sunlight.
Can I machine wash the entire dress?
It is recommended to follow the specific care instructions for each material. The viscose bodice may be machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water, but the PU skirt requires spot cleaning only. A full machine wash is not advised for the entire garment.
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is highly versatile. It's suitable for smart casual events, dinners, and can be dressed up for evening occasions. It can also be styled down for a sophisticated daytime look.
How long is the dress?
The dress falls approximately 125cm from the centre back, making it a midi length.
What kind of undergarments are best with the square neckline?
A standard bra with smooth straps would typically work well. Depending on the desired support and coverage, strapless or convertible bras may also be suitable.
Does the ribbed bodice offer stretch?
Yes, the viscose rib knit bodice is designed to offer a comfortable stretch and a form-fitting silhouette.
Troubleshooting
PU skirt creasing excessively
Hang the dress on a padded hanger. If minor creases persist, gently steam the PU skirt from a distance (do not let the iron touch the PU) or wipe with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Viscose bodice losing shape
Ensure the garment is not over-stretched during wear or washing. Follow care instructions carefully, and avoid tumble drying on high heat.
Discoloration on PU skirt
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can cause discoloration or damage. Clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap if absolutely necessary, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
