FAQs

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The product description highlights "stunning all-over pleating" and "beautiful movement and texture," suggesting a lightweight, flowing fabric, likely a polyester blend or similar material suitable for evening wear and formal occasions. Please refer to the garment's care label for precise material composition.

How should I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Wallis sizing guide for women's UK sizes. It is advisable to measure your bust, waist, and hip circumference and compare them to the chart provided by the retailer to find the best fit.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, the dress can be styled for cooler evenings by draping a lightweight pashmina or a tailored jacket over your shoulders. The sleeveless silhouette makes it suitable for layering.

What accessories are recommended with this dress?

Minimal jewelry is recommended. Elegant drop earrings and a coordinating clutch bag, along with nude strappy heels, are suggested to complement the dress's statement design.

Is the floral print suitable for all seasons?

The floral print is generally versatile. Its suitability for specific seasons can depend on the colors within the print and how it is styled. This particular print is described as 'exquisite' and suitable for 'special occasions,' implying year-round potential depending on the event.

What type of bra is best with the high neck and keyhole detail?

A seamless bra or a strapless bra would be most suitable to maintain a clean line under the high neckline and keyhole detail.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or allow it to hang in a steamy bathroom. If ironing, use a cool iron on the reverse side and avoid pressing down too hard on the pleats.

Color fading noticed.

Ensure the dress is washed inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Pleats losing their definition.

Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Professional dry cleaning might be the best option for maintaining sharp pleats.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it up and down. A small amount of lubricant like graphite pencil lead on the teeth can sometimes help.
