FAQs
Is this dress suitable for office wear?

Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the delicate floral lace and the structured nature of the blazer, dry cleaning is the recommended care method to prevent damage.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
Yes, it is made from a compact stretch-woven fabric that allows for a structured look while maintaining a level of comfort and flexibility.
What size is the item listed?
This specific variant is a UK size 6.
What are the primary materials used?
The garment is primarily composed of polyester, which provides durability and maintains the sharp architectural shape of the blazer.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing upon unboxing
Use a professional garment steamer on the lowest setting, keeping the nozzle away from the lace sections.
Snag in the lace sleeve
Do not pull the snagged thread. Gently use a small pair of embroidery scissors to carefully trim the stray loop close to the base of the fabric.
Minor fit issues at the waist
As this is a structured garment, ensure the buttons are secured correctly; if the fit is still tight, consult a professional tailor to adjust the seams rather than attempting DIY alterations.
Pros and Cons

- Flattering sculpted waistline provides a tailored look

- Versatile for various formal occasions
Cons
- Mini length may be too short for some formal dress codes
- Lace sleeves require delicate handling to avoid snagging
- Dry-clean only maintenance recommended due to material composition
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your blazer dress in pristine condition, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended. The blend of polyester and lace fabric is sensitive to high-heat machines and aggressive agitation. When storing, ensure you use a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the defined shoulders. Avoid hanging near sharp objects or rough jewelry that could snag the delicate floral lace sleeves. Since the garment is a stretch-woven material, it is best to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the depth of the black fabric over time. Ensure you check your specific UK size—in this case, size 6—before purchase to ensure the waist-seaming aligns correctly with your natural silhouette.
