FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideally suited for professional settings such as corporate events, business meetings, and important presentations. It can also transition to evening events with a change in accessories.

How do I adjust the fit with the front zip?

The full-length front zip allows you to control the neckline and hemline reveal. Zip it up fully for a conservative, high-neck look, or unzip it partially to create a V-neck effect or show more of your legs.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is primarily made of Polyester, crafted into a structured bandage knit fabric that is designed to sculpt and define the silhouette.

Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

While the polyester material is breathable, the long sleeves and structured design make it most suitable for cooler to moderate temperatures. It can be layered with a blazer for warmth or worn alone in air-conditioned environments.

What type of undergarments should I wear?

Due to the sculpting nature of the bandage knit, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. A well-fitting bra is advised.

How does the sizing run for this dress?

The 'Figure Form' bandage knit is designed for a close, sculpting fit. It is advisable to consult the brand's specific size guide and consider your preference for fit, as it may run true to size but offer less stretch than other dress types.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive.

The structured bandage knit offers a sculpting fit. If too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if minor adjustments are needed. Ensure the front zip is fully functional and not hindering movement.

Pilling or snagging on the fabric.

Bandage knit can be prone to snagging. Be mindful of jewelry, bags, or rough surfaces. Gentle hand washing and laying flat to dry can help prevent excessive wear.

Contrast piping appears uneven.

Ensure the dress is laid flat and smoothed out. If the piping is consistently uneven, it may be a manufacturing defect. Consult the retailer for exchange or return options.
