FAQs

What material is the Tilly Dress made from?

The dress is made from 100% Polyester, featuring a stretchy plisse texture.

How should I wash this dress?

It is recommended to machine wash the Tilly Dress at 30 degrees Celsius to maintain its fabric integrity and gold flecks.

Can I wear this dress if I'm pregnant?

Yes, the Tilly Dress is designed to be 'good for bump dressing' thanks to its relaxed silhouette and comfortable elasticated waistband.

How do I achieve the off-shoulder look?

The dress's slightly relaxed silhouette naturally allows for off-shoulder styling. If you prefer a more pronounced off-shoulder fit, similar to the model, you might consider sizing up.

Does the dress length vary between sizes?

Yes, the dress length is graded. Smaller sizes will be shorter than the size 10 sample (132.5cm), and larger sizes will be longer.

What type of occasions is this dress suitable for?

The Tilly Dress is perfect for evening events, special occasions, or any time you want a chic, elegant, and comfortable outfit. Its subtle gold flecks make it ideal for celebrations.

Are there other color options available?

This particular Tilly Dress is in a red colour family with gold flecks and a polka dot pattern. Other variants may exist in different colours or patterns, but this guide focuses on this specific version.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not sit off-shoulder as desired.

The model sized up to achieve a more relaxed off-shoulder fit. If you wish for a more dramatic off-shoulder style, consider trying the next size up. The fabric's stretch also allows for some manipulation.

Dress length seems too short or too long.

The dress length is graded by size. The provided length (132.5cm) is based on a size 10 sample. Smaller sizes will be shorter, and larger sizes will be longer. This is a design feature, not a fault.

Gold flecks appear dull or lose their shimmer.

Ensure the dress is clean according to the 30-degree wash instructions. Over-washing or using harsh detergents can sometimes dull delicate embellishments. A gentle wash cycle is recommended to preserve the sparkle.

Elasticated waistband feels too tight or loose.

While the waistband is elasticated for comfort, ensuring the correct size is chosen is key. If it feels too tight, you may need a larger size; if too loose, a smaller size might offer a better fit. Remember its suitability for 'bump dressing' also means it has some natural give.
