FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is designed to be versatile, suitable for business events, cocktail parties, weddings, and smart-casual occasions due to its tailored design and elegant features.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements. Given the tailored fit, it's recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart. This specific item is listed as UK Size 12.

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from quality crepe fabric, which typically offers a smooth finish and good drape. It is primarily made of Polyester.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is strongly recommended to dry clean the dress to preserve the quality of the fabric, color, and structure. Machine washing may damage the material and pleats.

Does the belt come with the dress?

Yes, the dress comes with a matching belt designed to cinch the waist and complete the silhouette.

How do I care for the pleated skirt?

To maintain the pleats, avoid machine washing and excessive ironing. Professional dry cleaning is the best method. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting on the reverse side.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased upon arrival.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. If creases persist, refer to dry cleaning for professional pressing.

Belt does not sit correctly.

Ensure the belt is threaded through the designated loops and adjust it to cinch the waist at the narrowest point. The fit can be personalized by how tightly the belt is fastened.

Fabric feels stiff or loses drape.

This can sometimes occur with new garments or if the fabric has been stored improperly. Gentle steaming or professional dry cleaning can help restore the fabric's natural drape.
