Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch-infused fabric offers some flexibility, but proper sizing is key for comfort and fit. If between sizes, consider the next size up for a more relaxed feel.

Fabric appears creased after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger to minimize creasing. If creases persist, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric, or consider professional steaming.

Seam detailing loses its structure

Adhere strictly to the recommended care instructions. Avoid harsh washing or drying methods that could compromise the garment's tailored structure. Professional dry cleaning is often the safest option for maintaining structure.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required. The dress is designed for a women's UK size 16.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the polyester fabric and tailored structure, it is recommended to follow specific care guidelines. Typically, polyester blends can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. However, for a garment with structured detailing, hand washing or dry cleaning may be preferred to preserve the shape and fabric integrity. Always consult the care label sewn into the garment for the most accurate instructions. Avoid using bleach and tumble drying; instead, lay flat or hang to dry. Iron on a low heat setting if necessary, preferably on the reverse side.
