FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for elevated daywear occasions such as gallery openings, business lunches, smart weddings, and formal garden parties. Its elegant design also makes it suitable for transitioning to evening events.

How should I style this dress for cooler weather?

For cooler months, you can layer a fitted roll-neck sweater beneath the high neckline for an unexpected and chic approach. A fitted blazer or a tailored coat would also complement the silhouette.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from tailored cotton fabric, known for its smooth, crisp finish that holds its shape beautifully.

What is the length of the midi skirt?

The full pleated midi skirt falls to an elegant length of approximately 134cm.

How do I care for the tailored cotton fabric?

It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, and iron on low heat. Dry cleaning can also be considered to maintain the fabric's integrity.

Does the belt come attached?

Yes, the dress features an integrated belted waistband with buckle detailing.

What footwear is recommended?

Strappy heeled sandals are recommended to keep the look refined and elongated. Depending on the occasion, pointed-toe heels or elegant flats can also be suitable.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a padded hanger. Check that the belt is fastened symmetrically. Allow the dress to hang for 24 hours after delivery to let the fabric settle.

Minor wrinkles or creases

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or iron on the reverse side with a cool iron. Avoid direct heat on the buckle.

Belt buckle appears loose

Ensure the belt is threaded through the designated loops correctly. If the buckle itself feels damaged, contact customer support.
