FAQs
Is this dress suitable for casual wear?
While it can be styled down, its design is primarily aimed at corporate, formal, or evening attire due to its structured and military-inspired aesthetic.
What kind of undergarments work best?
Due to the sculpting nature of the bandage knit, seamless undergarments are highly recommended to ensure a smooth silhouette.
Does the zip stay in place?
The front zip is designed to be durable and generally stays where you position it; however, ensure it is fully pulled down before trying to pull the dress over your head.
Can I wash this in a machine?
It is strongly recommended to follow professional dry cleaning instructions to protect the contrast piping and the bandage knit texture.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
Yes, the bandage knit material offers a controlled stretch to allow for movement while maintaining a tight, sculpted fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to have light snags or loose threads
Do not pull the threads. Use a fine needle to gently push the thread back into the knit structure from the reverse side.
Dress feels too tight after long-term storage
Ensure the dress is stored on a high-quality hanger. If the knit has compressed, lay it flat on a clean surface to allow the fibers to relax before trying it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a structured knit garment, proper care is essential to preserve its shape. Always hang the dress on a sturdy, padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion. While the polyester composition is durable, avoid direct contact with sharp jewelry or accessories that could snag the knit. When styling, coordinate with tailored blazers if you need additional warmth, as the dress fits closely and works best with sleek, minimalist layering. We recommend checking the garment care label for specific washing instructions, usually advising professional dry cleaning to keep the contrast piping and fabric structure in pristine condition.
