FAQs
What material is the Bella dress made of?
The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and smooth finish.
How should I clean this dress?
We recommend a gentle machine wash or professional dry cleaning. Always check the garment care label for the most accurate instructions.
Can the waist tie be removed?
The waist tie is typically designed as part of the silhouette, but depending on the specific construction, it can usually be loosened or repositioned to your preference.
Does the dress run true to size?
Phase Eight sizing is generally consistent with standard UK measurements; the size 18 option offers a tailored fit with the added flexibility of the waist tie.
What type of shoes pair best with this style?
This dress pairs beautifully with classic courts, strappy sandals, or elegant heels to complement the formal nature of the shirt dress style.
Is the floral print pattern the same on every dress?
While the floral print design is consistent, the exact placement of the print may vary slightly between individual garments due to the manufacturing process.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing in the fabric
Use a low-temperature steam iron or a garment steamer held at a distance to remove wrinkles without scorching the polyester.
Static cling during dry weather
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with water or use an anti-static spray on the interior lining to reduce friction.
Button gaps at the front placket
Ensure the waist tie is pulled correctly to distribute tension across the torso, or use small fashion tape to secure the placket between buttons.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Phase Eight dress in excellent condition, always refer to the internal care label. Given the polyester construction, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the fabric finish and distort the shape of the puff sleeves. When storing, hanging the dress helps prevent deep creases in the fabric. This garment is highly compatible with classic pumps or structured heels and works exceptionally well under an elegant hat or a tailored blazer for transitional weather.
