FAQs

What is the total length of the dress?

The dress sits at approximately 140cm in length.

Can this dress be machine washed?

Due to the intricate cutwork embroidery, professional dry cleaning or careful hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the garment's integrity.

How do the flutter sleeves affect layering?

The voluminous nature of the sleeves works best with open-front layers like blazers or shawls that do not compress the ruffle detail.

Is the fabric prone to transparency?

The dress is crafted from quality cotton, but we recommend wearing skin-tone undergarments given the light cream color.

Does the waist belt provide enough adjustment?

Yes, the self-tie belt is designed to be fully adjustable, allowing you to cinch the waist as tightly or loosely as you prefer.

What types of shoes work best with this length?

Block-heeled sandals, wedges, or pointed-toe flats generally complement the midi-length skirt most effectively.

Troubleshooting

Creasing after storage

Use a garment steamer at a low setting or iron inside out using a pressing cloth.

Stray embroidery threads

Do not pull the threads; carefully trim them with sharp embroidery scissors to prevent further unraveling.

Belt slipping during wear

Ensure a double knot is tied at the side or back to secure the position of the self-tie belt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment features delicate cutwork embroidery, it is essential to follow specific care protocols to prevent damage. We recommend dry cleaning or gentle hand washing in cool water to protect the embroidery threads. Always hang the dress using the integrated loops to prevent stretching the shoulders or sleeves. When storing, keep it in a breathable garment bag away from direct sunlight to prevent the cream fabric from fading or yellowing. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid pressing directly over the embroidered sections to maintain their texture.
