FAQs

What type of material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a viscose-rich rib knit construction, primarily featuring wool.

How should I care for this dress?

It is recommended to hand wash cold or dry clean this dress. Lay it flat to dry and use a cool iron setting on the reverse side. Always refer to the care label for the most accurate instructions.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

Yes, with its structured silhouette, V-neckline, and elegant midi length, it is suitable for corporate events and sophisticated daytime occasions when styled appropriately with formal footwear and accessories.

How does the fit of the dress feel?

The viscose-rich rib knit construction moves with the body, offering a comfortable fit while maintaining a polished, structured silhouette.

What footwear is recommended with this dress?

For a professional look, strappy heeled mules are suggested. For a more casual or evening look, pointed-toe kitten heels can be paired with it.

Can the dress be worn in different seasons?

The long sleeves and wool blend make it suitable for cooler weather. It can be layered with jackets or cardigans for added warmth in colder seasons.

What does the colour-blocking add to the design?

The bold contrast colour-block panelling runs vertically along the sleeves and sides, creating a striking, graphic effect that gives the dress an architectural and modern quality.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears stretched or misshapen after washing.

Ensure you followed the recommended hand wash or dry clean instructions. Lay the garment flat to dry, avoiding stretching it while wet. If significant stretching has occurred, professional steaming may help restore its shape.

Colour bleeding during washing.

This can occur if the garment was not washed according to care instructions, especially if machine washed or with hot water. For future washes, always use cold water and consider a dedicated wool or delicate detergent. Test a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about colourfastness.

Pilling on the fabric surface.

Pilling is a natural occurrence with knitwear. Use a fabric shaver or comb gently to remove pills. Avoid abrasive friction against the garment.

Snags or pulls in the knit.

Carefully try to pull the snagged thread back through to the inside of the garment using a needle. If the thread is too short or the snag is large, professional repair might be necessary.
