FAQs

Is the Tilly Dress suitable for pregnant women?

Yes, the Burgundy Tilly Dress is specifically designed to be 'Good for bump dressing' due to its stretchy plisse fabric and elasticated waistband, offering comfort and style for expectant mothers.

What are the washing instructions for this dress?

You should machine wash the dress at 30 degrees Celsius. To best preserve the fabric's plisse texture and the subtle gold flecks, avoid using harsh detergents or high heat, and consult the garment label for specific drying advice.

Can I wear this dress off-the-shoulder?

Absolutely! The dress's relaxed silhouette allows for versatile styling, including wearing it off-the-shoulder. For a more pronounced off-the-shoulder look, you might find that sizing up provides a better drape, as shown by the model.

What material is the Burgundy Tilly Dress made from?

The dress is crafted from 100% Polyester, which gives it its distinctive stretchy, plisse texture and elegant drape.

What type of events is this dress best suited for?

Its elegant design, comfortable fit, and sophisticated details like gold flecks make it ideal for a variety of evening events, including dinners, parties, formal gatherings, and celebratory occasions.

How does the dress length vary across different sizes?

The length of the dress is graded based on size. While the UK size 10 sample measures 132.5cm from centre front to hem, smaller sizes will be proportionately shorter, and larger sizes will be proportionately longer to maintain the intended design.

Troubleshooting

The dress doesn't drape correctly for an off-the-shoulder style.

If you are having difficulty achieving the desired off-the-shoulder look, consider if a larger size would offer a more relaxed silhouette. The product description indicates that sizing up can facilitate this style.

The fabric texture or gold flecks appear damaged after washing.

Ensure you are strictly adhering to the '30 Degree Wash' instruction. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or high heat during drying, as these can compromise the integrity of polyester and delicate decorative elements. Always check for specific drying instructions on the garment label.

The dress length seems different from what was expected.

The dress length is graded proportionally by size. If your dress is shorter than expected and you wear a size smaller than UK 10, this is normal. Conversely, if your dress is longer than expected and you wear a size larger than UK 10, this is also standard. The sample length (132.5cm) is for a UK size 10.
