FAQs
Is this dress suitable for taller women?
This garment is specifically cut for those 5'3" and under; it may be too short or the bodice proportions may not sit correctly on taller individuals.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the tailored construction and linen fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the structure of the garment.
What is the total length of the dress?
The dress is tailored to hit at approximately 126cm.
Does the dress have pockets?
The product design prioritizes a sleek, tailored silhouette and does not include pockets.
How should I store the dress?
Store hanging in a cool, dry place inside a garment bag to keep dust off and prevent the linen from becoming crushed.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon removing from packaging
Gently steam the garment using a garment steamer, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the linen fabric.
Zip feels difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the teeth of the zipper and that you are not over-stretching the bodice while pulling the fastener.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the structured bodice. When putting on the dress, engage the zip fastening slowly to avoid snagging the linen fabric. Given the intricate tailoring and contrast details, it is strongly advised to follow the care label strictly—typically recommending professional dry cleaning to protect the integrity of the pleated skirt and the shape of the tuxedo collar. Avoid direct sunlight during storage to prevent fading of the contrast panels.
