FAQs
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from 100% Viscose, which is a type of rayon derived from wood pulp, considered a responsible fibre.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by WHISTLES, considering your UK dress size. The model is 5'11" and wears a UK size 8/S.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has a maxi length of 148cm.
Can this dress be machine washed?
No, the dress requires handwashing in cool water. Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the fabric.
What does 'bias-cut' mean?
A bias cut involves cutting fabric at a 45-degree angle to the grain. This allows the fabric to drape and stretch more fluidly, creating a flattering, body-skimming effect.
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for special occasions such as weddings, formal dinners, cocktail parties, and other events where a sophisticated and elegant look is desired.
Are there other colours available?
While this specific product listing is for the brown/taupe colour, WHISTLES often offers this dress style in other colours. Please check the brand's available collections.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang correctly
Ensure the tie-back detail is secured properly and consider professional tailoring for length adjustments if needed.
Satin fabric appears dull or loses sheen
This is likely due to improper washing or drying. Ensure you are handwashing in cool water and avoiding high heat during drying. Ironing on a too-high setting can also affect sheen; use a cool iron on the reverse side.
Visible wrinkles or creases
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow wrinkles to fall out. If persistent, iron on a cool setting on the reverse side.
