FAQs

What material is this dress made of?

This dress is crafted from a high-quality, durable polyester blend featuring compact stretch technology.

Is the belt removable?

The belt is integrated into the design to ensure the silhouette remains structured and defined as intended by the cut of the dress.

How long is the dress?

The dress is a midi length, falling at approximately 124cm from the shoulder.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the tailored construction and hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended to ensure the dress maintains its shape and appearance.

Does the dress feature functional pockets?

Yes, it includes discreet side pockets designed to sit flush against the skirt so they remain functional without disrupting the clean lines of the dress.

What type of shoes look best with this dress?

The dress is highly versatile; pointed-toe court shoes offer a traditional professional look, while strappy heeled sandals provide a more modern, elongated finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible lines under the fabric

The compact stretch fabric is form-fitting; switch to seamless or laser-cut undergarments to eliminate visible lines.

Belt buckle sitting awkwardly

Ensure the dress is pulled into the correct position at the waist and tighten the belt to a snug, yet comfortable, setting before fastening the buckle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As this dress is a pre-tailored garment, no complex setup is required. To maintain the structural integrity and the finish of the hardware buckle, adhere to these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Always check the internal garment label for specific laundering instructions. Typically, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape of the pencil cut and the integrity of the belt hardware.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress using a wide, contoured hanger to prevent shoulder indentation. Keep the belt buckled during storage to prevent the hardware from scratching the fabric.
  3. Compatibility: This dress pairs best with lightweight, neutral-toned undergarments to ensure a smooth finish under the compact stretch fabric. It is compatible with various professional footwear, from classic pumps to block-heel sandals.
