FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for a range of elevated occasions, including weddings, smart dinners, gallery openings, summer parties, and sophisticated daytime events.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from a blend of knitted viscose and polyamide, offering both comfort and shape retention.

How should I care for this knitted dress?

It is best to hand wash or use a delicate cycle with cold water and lay flat to dry to maintain its shape. Avoid tumble drying and use a cool iron on the reverse side if needed.

Does the front split make the dress difficult to wear?

No, the front split is designed to provide ease of movement and add a sophisticated detail. It does not typically impede wearability.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, the dress can be easily transitioned into cooler weather by layering with a tailored blazer, a sophisticated cardigan, or a stylish jacket.

What kind of undergarments are best for this dress?

Due to the square neckline and strappy design, consider seamless undergarments or styles that complement the neckline, such as a strapless bra or adhesive cups if preferred.

Is the wave pattern on both the front and back of the dress?

The description indicates the wave knit detailing runs the length of the skirt, and the bodice is solid-knit, suggesting the prominent wave pattern is primarily featured on the skirt.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The knitted fabric offers some stretch, but if the fit is too tight, it may be a sizing issue. Check the size guide and consider if a larger size is needed. Ensure the front split is not caught.

Knit pattern appears distorted after washing.

This can happen if the garment is washed or dried improperly. Always follow the care instructions, using cold water and laying flat to dry. If the distortion is minor, gentle reshaping while damp may help. For significant distortion, professional cleaning may be considered.

Fringe detailing (if applicable on specific variants) is tangled or damaged.

Gently try to untangle the fringe by hand. If damaged, consult a professional tailor or dry cleaner for repair options.
