FAQs

What does 'petite frame' mean in the context of this coat?

'Petite frame' refers to individuals who are typically 5'4" (162 cm) or shorter. This coat is designed with adjusted proportions, such as shorter sleeve lengths, torso lengths, and overall coat length, to provide a better fit without the need for alterations for those with smaller stature.

What material is the Petite Dolly Coat made from?

The coat is crafted from a woven wool fabric. This material choice provides both structure to maintain the elegant silhouette and comfort for wear in cooler temperatures.

How should I clean my Dorothy Perkins Petite Dolly Coat?

Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for cleaning this coat to preserve its quality, shape, and fabric integrity. For minor spots, gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth may be performed carefully.

Is this coat suitable for very cold weather?

The woven wool fabric and high neck collar offer good warmth for cooler temperatures. For very cold weather, it is advisable to layer warm clothing, such as a fine knit jumper, underneath the coat for additional insulation.

Can I wear this coat for both casual and formal occasions?

Yes, its versatile mid-length cut and classic double-breasted design allow it to be dressed up or down. It pairs well with tailored trousers for smart-casual events or over a dress for more formal occasions, as well as with jeans for an everyday chic look.

What kind of buttons does the coat feature?

The coat features striking metallic buttons that complement its elegant double-breasted design. These buttons serve both a functional purpose for closure and an aesthetic one, enhancing the coat's classic appeal.

Troubleshooting

Coat appears wrinkled after storage or wear.

Gently steam the coat using a garment steamer. Alternatively, hang it in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes. Avoid ironing directly on the wool fabric, as high heat can damage it.

Loose or missing buttons.

Regularly check the metallic buttons for looseness. If a button is loose, reinforce it with a needle and thread. If a button is lost, consider contacting customer service for potential replacements or sourcing a similar style from a haberdashery.

The fit feels slightly off, even though it's a petite size.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK dress size. 'Petite' refers to height, and while proportions are adjusted, individual body shapes can still vary. Consider the type of garments you intend to wear underneath the coat; thicker layers might make the fit feel snugger. If the fit issue persists, compare your measurements to the brand's specific size guide if available.

Care Instructions
