FAQs

What is the primary material of this dress?

The dress is primarily made of 96% viscose and 4% elastane, with additional details of 65% polyester and 35% polyurethane.

How should I clean this Alaia dress?

This dress requires dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash or hand wash.

Where is this dress made?

This dress is made in Italy, known for its high-quality fashion manufacturing.

What type of closure does the dress have?

The dress features a concealed zipper at the back for closure.

Is this dress suitable for all seasons?

While comfortable due to the viscose blend, the polyester and polyurethane elements might make it less ideal for very hot weather. It is generally suitable for moderate to cooler temperatures.

What does 'gathered pleating' mean in this context?

Gathered pleating refers to fabric that has been stitched together in folds or pleats, creating texture and volume, and allowing the fabric to drape elegantly.

Can I alter the length of the dress?

While alterations are possible, it is recommended to have them done by a professional seamstress experienced with delicate fabrics like viscose to ensure the integrity of the pleating and overall design.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or stuck.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) can sometimes help. If the issue persists, consult a professional tailor.

Fabric has lost its shape.

Ensure the garment has been stored properly, not crammed in a drawer or on a crowded hanger. For significant shape loss, professional reshaping by a dry cleaner might be an option, though results may vary.

Small snags or pulls in the fabric.

For minor snags, try to gently push the snagged thread back through to the reverse side using a fine needle. Avoid pulling at the snag. For more significant damage, consult a professional seamstress.
