FAQs

Is the belt removable?

The belt is designed as an integrated feature of the dress to ensure a consistent, tailored look and cannot be removed without altering the garment.

How should I clean the hardware on the belt?

Wipe the buckle gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could strip the finish.

Does the dress have a zipper?

Yes, it features a discreet zip closure typically located on the back to ensure a smooth, clean aesthetic when fastened.

Can this dress be machine washed?

It is safer to use a delicate cycle with a mesh garment bag to protect the hardware and the tailored fabric structure.

Is the fabric heavy or light?

The dress uses a 'compact stretch' fabric which is medium-weight; it is heavy enough to hold a structured shape but breathable enough for all-day comfort.

What size should I choose if I am between sizes?

Because this is a pencil-style dress with a structured fit, we recommend checking your measurements against our size chart and opting for the larger size if you prefer a less restrictive fit.

Troubleshooting

Belt buckle seems loose or doesn't stay in place

Ensure the belt is threaded tightly through the loops and the buckle prong is fully engaged in the desired hole; if it continues to slip, ensure it is not being strained by an incorrect size fit.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric to smooth out the creases without damaging the fibers.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, adhere to the following guidelines:

Care Instructions: Due to the hardware buckle, we recommend either gentle hand washing or a delicate machine cycle inside a garment bag to prevent snagging or scratching. Always hang to dry on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the bodice.
Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry place. Avoid using thin wire hangers which can distort the shoulder area over time.
Compatibility: This piece pairs exceptionally well with tailored blazers of varying lengths. Due to the neutral grey tone, it is highly compatible with black, navy, or metallic accessories.
