FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from 100% polyester for both the main fabric and the lining.

How should I clean this dress?

The dress is 'dry clean only'. Please do not wash it with water, bleach it, or tumble dry it.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, the dress features both welt pockets and breast pockets.

What type of closure does it have?

It has a concealed zipped back closure for a seamless finish.

Is this dress suitable for very hot weather?

While the polyester fabric offers a beautiful drape, it may not be the most breathable option for extremely hot climates. It is best suited for moderate temperatures or indoor events.

What are the dimensions of the UK 8 size?

Specific garment measurements for the UK 8 size are best found on the product's detailed sizing chart, which typically includes bust, waist, and hip measurements.

Can I iron this dress?

Ironing is not recommended directly on the taffeta. If needed, use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance, or consult a professional dry cleaner for pressing.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the dress on a padded hanger away from direct heat. For minor wrinkles, a steamer can be used on a low setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the fabric. For persistent creases, professional dry cleaning and pressing are recommended.

Zipper is difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Gently inspect the zipper for any fabric caught within the teeth. If clear, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil) can be applied to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Stain appears on the fabric.

For immediate attention to a fresh stain, gently blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing. Given the delicate nature of the fabric and the 'dry clean only' instruction, it is best to consult a professional dry cleaner as soon as possible.
