Product Information

Full details

This Wallis Crepe Ruffle Pencil Dress in Blue (Size 20) is designed for adult females seeking a sophisticated and elegant outfit for special occasions. Its key benefit is the effortless styling for formal events, combining classic tailoring with a modern ruffle detail. A potential caveat is that the structured pencil silhouette may require specific undergarments for a smooth finish. The dress features a smooth crepe fabric, a dramatic cascading ruffle, a refined crew neckline, short cap sleeves, a defined waistband, and a midi-length pencil skirt.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after packaging.

Hang the dress for a few hours or use a cool iron on the reverse side to smooth out any wrinkles.

Fit feels too snug in the hips.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements. Consider shapewear for a smoother line. If significantly tight, double-check size chart against body measurements.

Ruffle detail does not lay as expected.

Gently steam the ruffle or ensure the dress is hung correctly. The fabric's natural drape should allow the ruffle to fall gracefully.
