FAQs

Is this dress true to size?

The dress is designed to skim the silhouette; if you prefer a looser fit, we recommend checking your measurements against the standard Phase Eight sizing guide.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the embellished sleeve details, it is highly recommended to hand wash or dry clean to prevent damage to the delicate textures.

What type of coat works best with this style?

A tailored, structured coat in a solid color works best to complement the swing sleeves without making the outfit look bulky.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The dress is made from polyester, which offers a comfortable drape and limited natural give, designed specifically to maintain its structured look.

Are the sleeves sheer?

Yes, the sleeves are designed with sheer textured fabric to create graceful movement.

Troubleshooting

Small snag in the embellished sleeve

Use a small crochet hook to gently pull the snagged thread through to the inside of the sleeve fabric, rather than cutting it.

Wrinkling after sitting for a long period

Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting from a distance of at least 6 inches to release wrinkles without damaging the polyester.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Phase Eight Laura dress in optimal condition, always check the internal garment label for specific fabric care instructions. Given the delicate nature of the sleeve embellishments, we recommend the following:

  1. Cleaning: Opt for professional dry cleaning or a very gentle hand wash in cool water to protect the embellishments.
  2. Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and sleeves.
  3. Travel: If packing for a trip, place the dress inside a garment bag to prevent the sleeve detailing from snagging on other clothing items.
  4. Compatibility: The dress pairs best with sleek, minimalist accessories. Avoid chunky jewelry that might catch on the embellished sleeve textures.
