FAQs
What is a midaxi length?
A midaxi length is a hybrid between a midi and a maxi dress, typically hitting at the lower calf or just above the ankle.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is highly recommended to use a delicate wash cycle or hand wash to protect the integrity of the pleated fabric.
Is the dress true to size?
Yes, it is designed for a standard fit, but we recommend consulting a size chart if you are between sizes due to the structured nature of the crepe fabric.
Does the gold accent fade?
When washed according to instructions—using cold water and mild detergents—the gold accents are designed to retain their luster.
Is the fabric heavy?
The crepe material is chosen for its balance of elegance and drape, providing enough weight to flow beautifully without feeling overly heavy or cumbersome.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing definition after storage
Gently steam the garment while hanging to help the fibers relax and regain their intended structure.
Minor fabric snagging
Avoid wearing jewelry with sharp edges or rough textures that might catch on the delicate crepe material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its shape and color longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a mild detergent suitable for crepe fabrics. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder bumps and to allow the pleats to hang vertically without distortion.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer held at a distance. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron to prevent damaging the fabric structure.
- Compatibility: This dress pairs exceptionally well with neutral-toned heels or ankle boots, and the gold accents can be complemented by gold jewelry.
