FAQs
What material is the Dusk Leaf Print Midi Stretch Dress made from?
The dress is made from a comfortable and flexible blend of 96% Viscose and 4% Elastane.
How do I determine the correct size for this dress?
The dress is a women's UK size 14. We recommend checking a general UK women's dress size chart and comparing your measurements (bust, waist, hips) to ensure the best fit, especially given its bodycon silhouette.
Is this dress suitable for formal occasions?
While it's a stylish dress, its primary design is for summer style and casual to smart-casual events. For highly formal occasions, you might opt for more structured or elaborate attire. However, it can be dressed up with appropriate accessories and outerwear for some semi-formal gatherings.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has an approximate length of 120cm, qualifying it as a midi-length dress.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Yes, the dress is machine washable. For best results and to maintain the fabric's quality, we recommend washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying.
Are there other patterns or colors available for this dress style?
While this specific variant features a black floral leaf print, Dusk offers other midi stretch dresses with different patterns like Animal Print and Abstract Print, as well as various color options. Please check other product listings for alternative styles.
How should I style this dress for a summer event?
For an effortless summer ensemble, style the dress with trendy sandals or wedges. You can also add a light jacket, a sun hat, and minimal jewelry to complete your look.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or loose despite ordering my usual size.
Verify the UK size 14 against a specific size chart if available, as sizing can vary between brands. The stretch fabric will adapt somewhat, but optimal fit is key for a bodycon style. Consider exchanging for a different size if the fit is significantly off.
Fabric appears to wrinkle easily after washing.
Viscose is known to wrinkle. To minimize this, remove the dress from the washing machine promptly after the cycle ends and either hang it immediately on a padded hanger or lay it flat to air dry. A low-heat iron or steaming can also smooth out wrinkles.
Dress seems to lose its shape or elasticity over time.
Ensure you are following the machine washable care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying, as this is a common cause for elastane degradation. Washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and air drying will help preserve the fabric's integrity and stretch.
Print appears faded or dull after washing.
Always wash the dress inside out to protect the printed surface. Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer or abrasion that could affect the print's vibrancy. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Care Instructions
To ensure your Dusk Leaf Print Midi Stretch Dress maintains its quality and shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the fabric's elasticity and prevent fading. It's advisable to wash with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the viscose and elastane fibers.
- Drying: To preserve the stretch and prevent shrinkage, air dry the dress. Lay flat on a clean surface or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can break down elastane.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out, to avoid direct contact with the print. A steam iron can also help remove wrinkles gently.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to prevent creasing and maintain its silhouette. Ensure it's fully dry before storing.
