FAQs
What is ponte fabric?
Ponte (or ponte di roma) is a double-knit fabric that is thicker, more durable, and more structured than standard jersey, offering excellent stretch and wrinkle resistance.
Can I put this dress in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended to tumble dry this dress as the heat can damage the synthetic fibers and compromise the stretch of the ponte material.
Does the snaffle trim contain nickel?
The product description does not specify allergen materials; if you have sensitive skin, it is advised to ensure the hardware does not sit directly against your skin for extended periods.
Is this dress suitable for winter?
Yes, due to the weight and density of the ponte fabric, this dress is ideal for autumn and winter, especially when paired with tights or boots.
How does the sizing run?
The dress follows standard UK sizing. Please refer to the manufacturer's size guide, as the structured nature of the fabric offers a tailored fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing slightly shiny after ironing
Always use a low-heat setting and a protective pressing cloth; avoid touching the iron directly to the surface.
Hardware trim catching during laundry
Place the dress inside a mesh laundry garment bag before machine washing to protect the trim and fabric.
Dress length feels too long
Consult a professional tailor to have the hem professionally adjusted to your preferred midi or knee-length height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its shape and the metallic trim remains untarnished, follow these guidelines. Always turn the garment inside out before washing to prevent the snaffle hardware from snagging other clothes or scratching the drum of the machine. Use a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain the fabric's elasticity. Avoid tumble drying; instead, hang the dress to dry in a shaded area to prevent fading or damage to the synthetic blend fibers. If ironing is required, use a low temperature and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the material from direct heat.
