FAQs
Can I wear this dress for a business meeting?
Yes, its structured, tailored bodice and sophisticated silhouette make it ideal for professional settings, especially when paired with pointed-toe heels.
How should I store this leather dress?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight using a padded hanger that supports the shoulder structure.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a tailored, form-fitting cut; refer to the size chart to ensure the best fit for your measurements.
Do I need to wear a belt with this dress?
No, the dress features an integrated tonal buckle-detail at the waist, designed to cinch the silhouette without extra accessories.
What type of footwear works best?
Knee-high boots create an editorial daytime look, while pointed-toe heels are recommended for formal evening or work events.
Can this dress be altered?
Leather is difficult to alter. It is highly recommended to select the size that fits your frame best rather than relying on post-purchase tailoring.
Troubleshooting
Buckle detail feels loose or hangs incorrectly
Ensure the waist fastener is tightened to your comfort level; if it continues to slip, check that the leather strap has not stretched and is properly secured through the buckle loop.
Wrinkling in the draped skirt panels
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes or consult a leather specialist for professional de-wrinkling; never use a standard iron on leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your dress in optimal condition, treat it as a long-term wardrobe investment. Because the garment is constructed from leather, it should not be machine washed or tumble dried.
- Cleaning: Utilize professional leather cleaning services only to avoid damaging the finish or the lining.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a high-quality, wide-shoulder hanger to prevent the neckline from losing its architectural fold.
- Layering: Due to the cap-shoulder design, opt for tailored coats or blazers with wider armholes to prevent bunching around the shoulders.
- Handling: Avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the blue tone, and keep away from excessive moisture.
