FAQs

What material is the Tilly Midi Dress made from?

The dress is made from 100% Polyester, featuring a soft crepe and stretchy plisse fabric.

Can I wear this dress off-the-shoulder?

Yes, the slightly relaxed silhouette and elasticated waistband allow for versatile styling, including wearing it off-the-shoulder for a different look.

What are the washing instructions for this dress?

Please machine wash the dress at 30 degrees Celsius. Air dry and avoid tumble drying to best preserve the fabric and subtle gold flecks.

Is this dress suitable for pregnant women?

Yes, the elasticated waistband and flowing skirt make it suitable for 'bump dressing,' offering comfort and style during pregnancy.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided: XS = 4/6, S = 6/8, M = 10/12, L = 14/16, XL = 18/20, XXL = 22/24, XXXL = 26/28. Keep in mind that the length adjusts with size.

Do the gold flecks rub off?

The subtle gold flecks are integrated into the fabric. Following the recommended gentle wash care (30-degree wash, air dry, low iron if needed) will help preserve their appearance over time.

Is the dress opaque?

Info needed: [While the fabric is described as soft crepe, specific opacity is not mentioned. It is generally designed for evening wear and has a flowing skirt, suggesting adequate coverage.]

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too long or too short.

The length is graded by size; smaller sizes are shorter, larger are longer. Refer to the size guide for standard lengths. If it's still not ideal, consider tailoring or styling with different heel heights.

Gold flecks appear dull or damaged.

Ensure you are following the 30-degree wash care. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, or ironing directly on the flecks. Gentle washing and air drying are key to preserving their shine.

Fabric feels restrictive or uncomfortable.

While the dress has an elasticated waistband and stretchy fabric, ensure you have selected the correct size using the provided guide. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up, as shown by the model wearing a size M for an off-the-shoulder look.

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Use a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Air dry flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying to protect the fabric and gold flecks.

  • Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain the dress's shape and prevent creasing.
