FAQs
What material is the Mela Dress made of?
The dress is crafted from 100% polyester, chosen for its durability and resistance to shrinking.
Does this dress have pockets?
The product design features a focus on a clean, seamless silhouette and does not include external pockets.
Can I wear this to a wedding?
Yes, the Mela Dress is suitable for semi-formal events, especially when styled with heels or boots and appropriate accessories.
Is the waist elasticated?
The dress is described as 'gently waisted,' meaning it is cut to follow the body's natural lines rather than using heavy elastic.
How should I clean the ruffle cuffs?
Follow the garment care label, but washing on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag will help protect the ruffle details.
Is the dress true to size?
The Mela Dress is designed with a standard fit; for the best result, refer to the provided UK sizing and measure against your own dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking or difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stuck, rub a small amount of candle wax or graphite from a pencil along the teeth to lubricate it.
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Hang the dress in a bathroom while running a hot shower to let the steam relax the wrinkles, or use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mela Dress remains in excellent condition, follow standard garment care for polyester. Always check the internal wash label for specific temperature guidance. It is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle to preserve the shape of the puff sleeves and the ruffle cuffs. When drying, hanging the dress on a padded hanger will prevent shoulder dimples and help maintain the dress's drape. If ironing is necessary to remove packing creases, use a low heat setting and consider using a pressing cloth to protect the polyester fibers from shine or melting. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
