FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is constructed from a bandage knit, featuring a stretchy elastane blend. Some variants may incorporate wool.

How should I style this dress for a professional setting?

For a professional look, layer a structured blazer over the shoulders and pair with sleek pointed-toe court heels. This combination is ideal for corporate environments and client lunches.

Can this dress be worn for evening events?

Yes, the dress transitions effortlessly to evening engagements. Pair it with strappy heeled sandals for a refined and elongated silhouette suitable for cocktail events or formal dinners.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress features a midi-length hem.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, the dress includes patch pockets on the front, detailed with gold-tone button embellishments.

How do I care for the bandage knit fabric?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cool water, a mild detergent, do not bleach, and lay flat to dry.

What is the significance of the piping and gold buttons?

The contrast piping trim and gold-tone button embellishments lend a sharp, tailored, and refined military-inspired aesthetic to the design.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The bandage knit is designed to be form-fitting; consider pairing with the recommended heels to elongate the silhouette and allow movement.

Piping or embellishments appear loose

Handle the garment with care during wear and cleaning. If any embellishments are loose, consult a professional tailor for secure reattachment.

Fabric shows signs of stretching out of shape

Follow the recommended care instructions precisely. Avoid excessive stretching or improper drying methods. Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp.

Zipper is difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it snags, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
