FAQs

What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal daytime events such as weddings, garden parties, race days, and graduation ceremonies.

What is the fabric composition of the dress?

The dress is made from a woven cotton-linen blend, offering a refined yet breathable quality.

How should I care for the 3D floral appliqué?

The 3D floral appliqué is delicate. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain its structure and appearance. Avoid direct contact with heat or harsh chemicals.

What kind of accessories pair well with this dress?

Minimalist accessories like delicate jewelry, strappy heeled mules, and a structured clutch bag are recommended to let the dress's design stand out.

Does the dress run true to size?

Sizing can vary. It is advisable to consult the brand's specific size chart and compare it with your own measurements for the best fit. Available sizes include UK 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18.

Can this dress be worn in warm weather?

Yes, the cotton-linen blend provides a breathable quality, making it suitable for warm-weather occasions.

Troubleshooting

Appliqué detail is snagged or loose

Gently try to re-secure any loose threads with a fine needle and matching thread. For significant damage, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner specializing in delicate garments.

Dress appears creased after storage

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow steam to relax the creases. For stubborn creases, professional dry cleaning with appropriate pressing is recommended. Avoid direct ironing on appliqué.

Fabric feels stiff

Ensure the dress has been stored correctly. If stiffness persists after dry cleaning, it may be characteristic of the cotton-linen blend holding its structure. Gentle steaming can sometimes soften the fabric slightly.
