Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

Yes, the dress follows standard UK sizing. Ensure you check the sizing guide to confirm the UK 18 fit.

Can this dress be worn in warm weather?

While leather is a durable material, it is better suited for transitional seasons or indoor, climate-controlled environments.

How do I store this dress?

Always store in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight.

Does the check print match at the seams?

The diagonal check is designed for a directional, high-fashion aesthetic; slight variations at the seams are part of the intended architectural design.

What type of shoes best complement the handkerchief hem?

Slim-heeled shoes or pointed-toe pumps are recommended to complement the asymmetrical nature of the hemline.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or creases in the leather

Hang the dress in a room with a little humidity to let the leather naturally relax, or consult a professional leather care specialist.

Hardware seems slightly loose

Inspect the internal backing of the hardware. If secure but moving, this is intentional for the drape; if loose, contact a professional tailor who specializes in leather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculptural and unique design aesthetic
  • Versatile midi length suitable for various occasions
  • High-quality leather construction
  • Flattering, waist-defining hardware detail

Cons

  • Leather material requires specialized cleaning
  • Requires careful storage to prevent creasing of the hem
  • Bold pattern may limit accessory choices

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this dress is constructed from leather, it is essential to hang it on a wide, padded hanger to prevent shoulder misshaping. Avoid folding the garment for extended periods to minimize permanent creases in the fabric. When cleaning, do not machine wash or tumble dry; the garment should be taken to a professional leather specialist to ensure the material remains supple and the colour vibrant. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high-heat environments, as these can cause the leather to dry or crack over time.
