FAQs

Can I wash this dress in a washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash this leather garment. It requires professional leather cleaning to maintain the material integrity.

Does the dress have any stretch?

The dress is designed with a hint of stretch to follow the body's lines, but it remains a structured, fitted piece.

How should I store this dress to prevent creases?

Use a padded hanger to support the shoulder structure and keep the dress in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Is the dress suitable for all seasons?

The leather construction makes it best suited for cooler or moderate temperatures, rather than hot, humid summer days.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

The dress follows a standard tailored fit; refer to the brand's size guide for UK 18 and consider that the leather will not have the same flexibility as cotton or polyester dresses.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness in the leather after storage

Allow the garment to hang at room temperature for several hours; the natural warmth will help the leather soften.

Difficulty with the asymmetric zip

Ensure the garment is correctly aligned on your body before zipping, as the diagonal tension of the plaid pattern can slightly shift the closure path.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-end leather finish provides a premium look
  • Sophisticated architectural design stands out in professional settings
  • Tailored fit enhances natural body shape
  • Midi length offers versatility for various occasions

Cons

  • Leather material requires specialized cleaning
  • Fitted silhouette may feel restrictive to some users
  • Limited stretch compared to jersey or spandex garments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your dress in pristine condition, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces that could scratch the leather finish. Since this is a specialized material, do not attempt standard machine washing. If the garment becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. Store the dress on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the structure of the high neck and shoulders. When pairing, choose accessories that complement the architectural lines, such as minimalist heels or structured blazers, to avoid cluttering the visual appeal of the tartan pattern.
