What is the length of the dress?

How should I care for this dress?

Due to the viscose-linen blend, dry cleaning is often recommended. Always refer to the specific care label on the garment for the most accurate instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat.

Can I wear this dress casually?

While the design is sophisticated, you could potentially dress it down slightly by removing the belt and pairing it with more casual footwear. However, its primary design is for occasion wear.

Does the dress come in other sizes or colors?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after unpacking.

Gently steam the dress on a medium heat setting or iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Ensure the fabric is slightly damp when ironing for best results.

Belt does not sit correctly.

Ensure the belt is threaded through the designated belt loops. Adjust the tension to achieve a comfortable and defined waistline.

Fabric feels stiff or loses its drape.

This can sometimes happen with viscose-linen blends. Ensure correct washing and drying methods are followed as per the care label. Avoid over-drying if tumble drying is permitted.

Minor pulls or snags on the fabric.

For very minor pulls, try gently teasing the threads back into place with a fine needle. For more significant damage, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner.
