FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The dress is versatile and can be worn for casual outings, smart-casual events, parties, and depending on your workplace dress code, even for work.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's size chart and your body measurements. The description notes that 'we recommend your usual size', but checking measurements is always advised.

Can the back cut-out be adjusted or covered?

The back cut-out is a design feature and cannot be adjusted. For more coverage, a blazer or cardigan can be worn over the dress.

What type of bra should I wear with this dress?

Due to the back cut-out, a low-back bra or a stick-on bra is often recommended. Alternatively, a seamless bra may work if the cut-out is not too deep.

Is the wool blend suitable for very hot weather?

While wool can be breathable, a wool blend is generally better suited for moderate to cooler temperatures. For very hot weather, other fabric options might be more comfortable.

What other sizes and colors are available?

This specific product is available in various UK sizes. While the primary color is red/orange, checking the brand's full collection may reveal other colorways.

How should I store this dress?

Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape, or fold it carefully. Ensure the storage area is dry and away from direct sunlight to prevent damage or fading.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears to have shrunk after washing.

Avoid high heat when washing or drying wool blends. If shrinkage is minor, you may be able to gently stretch the fabric back to its original shape while damp. For significant shrinkage, consult a professional tailor.

The wool blend feels itchy.

Some wool blends can cause mild irritation. Wearing a thin layer underneath, such as a camisole or slip, can help. Ensure the garment is properly washed according to care instructions, which can sometimes soften the fibers.

Zipper is difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is smooth and not caught. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.

Color appears faded after a few washes.

Wash the garment inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Consider using a color-safe detergent if washing with other items.

Care Instructions:

  • Material: Wool blend. It is recommended to check the specific care label on the garment for detailed instructions.
  • Washing: Typically, wool blends benefit from gentle hand washing in cold water or a specific wool cycle on your washing machine. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry to maintain the shape of the garment. Avoid tumble drying, as this can cause shrinkage and damage the wool fibers.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron setting and iron on the reverse side. Steam can be beneficial for wool.
