FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements. Pay attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements, as well as the dress length.

Can the belt be removed or replaced?

Yes, the belt is designed to be removed and can be replaced with another belt if desired, though it is designed to coordinate with the dress.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Seamless undergarments in a nude or matching color are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the cotton poplin fabric.

Is the embroidery prone to damage?

The embroidery is intricate and requires careful handling to avoid snags or pulls. Follow the recommended care instructions for washing and ironing.

What is the approximate length of the dress?

The midi length is approximately 135cm.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn creases, iron on the reverse side with a cool iron and a pressing cloth.

Embroidery or lace appears snagged or pulled.

Carefully attempt to smooth the snagged thread back into place using a fine needle. Avoid pulling. If significant damage occurs, professional repair may be necessary.

Belt buckle feels loose.

Check if the buckle mechanism is properly secured. If it continues to be loose, consult a tailor or cobbler for potential repair or reinforcement.

White fabric shows minor marks.

For light marks, try spot cleaning with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first. For stubborn stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Care Instructions:

  • Ironing: Use a cool iron setting. It is advisable to iron the dress on the reverse side, or to use a pressing cloth over the embroidered areas to prevent damage.
  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Avoid folding for long periods, especially in areas with intricate detailing.
