FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for sophisticated events such as summer weddings, garden parties, christenings, and elevated daytime occasions. It can also be styled for evening events with appropriate accessories.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from 100% cotton poplin.

How should I care for the embroidered bib and lace details?

We recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent and air drying. Iron on a low setting, using a pressing cloth over the delicate areas.

Does the belt come with the dress?

Yes, the dress includes a coordinating wide belt with a statement circular buckle.

What is the length of the dress?

The midi length is approximately 135cm.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the delicate nature of the embroidery and lace, machine washing is not recommended. Hand washing is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the details.

How can I style this dress for an evening event?

For an evening look, swap daytime sandals for heeled mules and add a structured clutch bag. Minimalist gold jewelry would complement the dress's detailing.

Troubleshooting

Embroidery or lace appears snagged or damaged.

Gently try to smooth the snagged area. If significant damage has occurred, consult a professional tailor or seamstress for repair.

Dress does not hang as expected.

Ensure the belt is fastened correctly to cinch the waist as intended. Check that the dress is not inside out or twisted. Gentle steaming may help release minor wrinkles and allow the fabric to drape properly.

Color appears faded after washing.

This may indicate that a harsh detergent was used or the item was exposed to prolonged direct sunlight during drying. Always use mild detergents and air dry in the shade.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate embroidery and lace, hand washing in cold water is recommended. Avoid machine washing.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
  • Drying: Lay flat or hang on a padded hanger to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, which can damage the fabric and embellishments.

  • Storage: Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and snagging.
