FAQs

What size is this specific model?

This variant is a UK size 10.

Is the dress machine washable?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is required to protect the fabric and the pleat structure.

Does the dress have a built-in lining?

Yes, the dress is crafted with high attention to detail to ensure opacity and a smooth fit against the body.

Can I iron this dress?

Direct ironing is not advised, as it may crush the pleats or damage the fabric. Use a garment steamer instead.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

It is perfectly suited for weddings, formal dinners, cocktail parties, and other special events requiring elegant attire.

Does the fabric have much stretch?

The dress is designed for a tailored, structured fit, so it offers minimal stretch compared to jersey or knit fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Pleats look flattened after storage

Gently steam the skirt vertically, allowing the weight of the fabric to help the pleats fall back into their natural, sharp folds.

Cape sleeves appear wrinkled

Use a low-heat steamer held at least six inches away from the fabric to gently relax the fibers without pressing the material flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and eye-catching cape sleeve detail
  • Flattering midi length suitable for many formal dress codes
  • High-quality construction and refined tailoring
  • Timeless design that transcends seasonal trends

Cons

  • Requires professional dry cleaning to maintain pleat structure
  • Limited stretch due to the structured tailoring
  • Hand-wash is generally not recommended to prevent loss of shape

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, store it on a high-quality padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion caused by the cape sleeves. Avoid storing it in overly compressed spaces where the pleats might be crushed or flattened. Because of the delicate nature of the fabric and the pleat construction, always refer to the garment's internal care label for specific cleaning instructions. In almost all instances, professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the color and the permanence of the pleats. If the dress becomes wrinkled, use a professional garment steamer from a distance, rather than a direct iron, to safely remove creases.
