FAQs

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is crafted from a wool blend for the bodice and features a PU (polyurethane) skirt.

How should I clean this dress?

Due to the mixed materials (wool blend and PU), professional dry cleaning is recommended. Always refer to the specific care label on the garment for detailed instructions.

Is the PU skirt waterproof?

PU is water-resistant to some extent, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and ensure it is dried properly if it gets wet.

Can this dress be worn in winter?

With the addition of opaque tights and potentially a warm layer like a coat or blazer, the dress can be styled for cooler weather. The long sleeves offer some warmth.

What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and can be styled for smart casual events, office wear (depending on dress code), brunches, shopping trips, and evening transitions.

How do I care for the decorative hardware?

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners directly on the hardware. Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth if needed.

Does the dress run true to size?

Sizing can vary by brand. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide available on the retailer's website for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

PU skirt loses its sheen or develops creases.

Gently wipe the PU skirt with a slightly damp cloth. For creases, hang the garment in a steamy bathroom for a short period or consult a professional cleaner specializing in PU materials. Avoid direct heat.

Ribbed knit appears stretched or misshapen.

Ensure the garment is stored by hanging it on a suitable hanger. Avoid folding for long periods. If slight stretching occurs, a gentle steam can sometimes help it regain its shape. Check care label for washing instructions if needed, but professional cleaning is advised.

Decorative hardware becomes loose.

Carefully check if the hardware can be tightened with a small, appropriate tool. If not, or if it detaches, consult a tailor or dry cleaner for professional repair.
