FAQs

What is the best occasion for this dress?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as evening events, weddings, cocktail parties, and other celebrations where a sophisticated and elegant look is desired.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to standard UK sizing. The dress has a regular fit, and the bias-cut skirt contours the body. Model Daisy is 5'11" and wears a UK size 8/S.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

The Viscose satin fabric offers some breathability, making it suitable for warmer evenings. However, it is a maxi dress and may feel warmer in very high temperatures.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Depending on personal preference and bust support needs, a strapless bra or adhesive bra may be suitable.

What is the length of the dress?

The maxi length of the dress is 148cm. This may require hemming for individuals of shorter stature to achieve the perfect floor length.

What does 'Responsible Fibres' mean?

It indicates that the 100% Viscose material used in the dress is sourced and produced with greater consideration for environmental and social factors compared to conventional Viscose.

Troubleshooting

Dress has wrinkles or creases

Gently iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out. Steaming may also help to relax the fabric without direct contact.

Fabric appears dull after washing

Ensure you used cool water and a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or harsh agitation. Air dry away from direct sunlight.

Tie-back detail is difficult to adjust

Ensure the fabric is smooth and not twisted. Gently pull or loosen the ties as needed. If the fabric is stiff, a slight amount of steam might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This dress requires no setup as it is ready to wear upon purchase. It is compatible with most standard undergarments.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Handwash only in cool water. Avoid machine washing to protect the delicate satin fabric and prevent damage to the drape and tie-back detail.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting. It is recommended to iron the dress inside out to protect the satin's sheen.
  • Stains: Treat stains gently and promptly. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which can damage the fabric.
