FAQs

What occasions is this dress most suitable for?

This dress is well-suited for events such as summer weddings (as a guest), garden parties, sophisticated lunch dates, and other occasions where a refined and artistic statement is appropriate.

How should I choose between wearing the belt or not?

Wearing the self-tie belt cinched at the waist defines your silhouette for a more traditional or formal look. Leaving the dress unbelted offers a relaxed, flowing, and more editorial silhouette.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, the dress can be layered with a fine-knit cardigan over the shoulders or paired with a structured jacket to transition it into cooler months.

What kind of shoes pair best with this dress?

The dress pairs well with simple flat mule sandals for a casual chic look, block-heeled court shoes for a polished finish, or strappy heels for evening events.

How do I care for the 100% viscose fabric?

Hand wash in cool water or use a gentle machine cycle. Do not tumble dry; lay flat or hang to dry. Iron on a low heat setting.

Is the print likely to be consistent across different sizes?

While the design is consistent, the exact placement of the abstract watercolour print may vary slightly due to the nature of fabric cutting during production.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a midi length of approximately 150cm.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Gently steam or iron on a low setting to restore softness.

Color seems to fade.

Avoid direct sunlight during drying. Wash inside out to protect the print. Consider using a color-safe detergent if washing frequently.

Fabric develops creases easily.

Viscose is prone to creasing. Try to remove the dress promptly after washing and hang it to dry. Use a steamer or iron on a low heat setting before wearing.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and appearance of the 100% viscose fabric:

  1. Washing: Hand wash in cool water or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and fabric damage.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat, which can scorch or damage the viscose.
  4. Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to preserve its shape and prevent creasing.
