Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the approximate length of this dress?

This midi-length dress falls to approximately 120cm from the shoulder.

Is the dress stretchy?

The bodice is structured boucle tweed, while the skirt features a satin mix, offering a more tailored, non-stretch fit compared to jersey garments.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the delicate frayed trim and mixed material construction, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, it features integrated patch pockets that contribute to the silhouette.

What kind of bra works best with this neckline?

The V-neckline is refined and sits close to the body, making a classic plunge or t-shirt bra the best choice for a seamless look.

How should I store the dress to keep the pleats sharp?

Use a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the skirt hangs freely without being crushed by other garments in your closet.

Troubleshooting

Frayed trim looks unkempt

Gently smooth the fraying fibers with your fingers or a very fine-tooth comb to realign them; do not pull at loose threads.

Silver buttons appear dull

Wipe gently with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to remove oils and restore shine.

Skirt wrinkles from sitting

Use a professional garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the steam nozzle at least 6 inches away from the satin fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated V-neckline offers an elongating and refined quality.
  • The full skirt construction allows for ease of movement without stiffness.
  • Strategic waistband creates a flattering hourglass silhouette.
  • Textured fabric and silver accents provide a visually striking look for photography.
  • High-quality construction with full lining for comfort.

Cons

  • Frayed trim requires delicate handling to maintain appearance.
  • Midi length may require adjustments for shorter statures.
  • Requires careful storage to preserve the shape of the pleated skirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep this garment in top condition, professional dry cleaning is recommended due to the intricate frayed trim and the combination of satin and boucle materials. When storing, always hang the dress on a padded hanger to support the weight of the full skirt and prevent the shoulders from sagging. Avoid storing the dress in direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the black fabric or tarnishing of the silver-tone buttons. If the skirt pleats lose their crispness over time, use a low-heat steamer from a safe distance, being careful not to touch the decorative trim or buttons directly.
