FAQs

What makes this dress "traceable cashmere"?

Traceable cashmere means the origin of the cashmere fibers can be tracked back to specific farms, typically in regions like Inner Mongolia. This commitment often ensures better animal welfare and environmental practices in the supply chain.

How should I best care for my cashmere dress?

We recommend hand washing in cool water with a specialized wool detergent or opting for dry cleaning. After washing, gently squeeze out water (do not wring) and lay flat on a towel to air dry, reshaping as needed. Avoid tumble drying and direct heat.

Is this dress suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the high-quality cashmere and snug funnel neck provide excellent warmth, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional garments like a warm coat and tights is recommended.

What is the fit of the dress?

The dress features a 'cocoon fit', which is designed to be relaxed and comfortable, offering a slightly looser silhouette that drapes well.

How do I handle minor pilling on the cashmere?

Minor pilling is a natural characteristic of cashmere. You can gently remove it using a specific cashmere comb or a fabric shaver. Avoid rubbing the area vigorously.

What are the dimensions of the mini length?

The dress has a mini length of approximately 90cm from the shoulder to the hem.

Can I machine wash this dress?

While some very delicate wool cycles exist, hand washing or dry cleaning is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity and softness of the cashmere fibers and prevent shrinkage or damage.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The cocoon fit is relaxed, but if it feels too tight, consider if a larger size would be more comfortable. Avoid stretching the garment excessively when trying it on.

Noticeable pilling on the fabric

This is normal for cashmere. Gently use a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver to remove pills. Avoid harsh scrubbing or washing.

Color transfer onto other items

Although unlikely with proper care, if washing at home, always wash dark or brightly colored cashmere separately in cool water to prevent color bleeding. Ensure the garment is fully rinsed.

Dress has lost its shape

Avoid hanging the dress for storage. Fold it neatly and lay it flat. If slight stretching has occurred, try re-wetting and reshaping it while drying flat.

  • Versatile oatmeal color suitable for multiple occasions.

Cons

  • Requires specialized care (hand wash or dry clean) to maintain cashmere quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a dress, there is no setup required. Simply wear it.

Compatibility:

  • This dress is designed for adult women.
  • The oatmeal color is highly compatible with a wide range of accessories, including scarves, belts, and outerwear in neutral tones, black, or richer jewel colors.
  • It pairs well with various footwear, from ankle boots and knee-high boots to loafers and heels.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate nature of cashmere, it is recommended to hand wash the dress in cool water with a mild wool detergent. Alternatively, dry cleaning is a safe option.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the dress flat on a clean towel, reshaping it to its original form while damp, and allow it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Fold the dress and store it in a breathable garment bag or on a shelf. Avoid hanging, as this can cause stretching and distortion. Consider using cedar balls or sachets to protect against moths.
  • Pilling: Light pilling may occur with wear. This can be gently removed using a cashmere comb or fabric shaver.
