FAQs

What type of fabric is this playsuit made from?

The playsuit is crafted from cotton sateen, which provides a subtle sheen and a refined finish.

Is the lace trim durable?

How should I style this playsuit for different occasions?

For formal events, pair with heels and a clutch. For smart-casual occasions, style with mules and minimal jewelry. The long sleeves make it suitable for transitional seasons.

What does 'petite-specific cut' mean?

It means the garment is designed with proportions suitable for shorter individuals, typically featuring a shorter length (around 84cm for this playsuit) without compromising on other design elements.

Can I machine wash this playsuit?

While machine washing might be possible on a very delicate cycle with cold water, hand washing or dry cleaning is strongly recommended to best preserve the fabric and delicate lace details.

What is the length of the playsuit?

The playsuit has a petite-specific cut with a length of approximately 84cm.

Does the playsuit come with a belt?

Yes, the playsuit comes with a matching belt featuring a circular buckle to cinch the silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Lace trim snagging or pulling

Handle with care when wearing and washing. If a small snag occurs, gently try to smooth it back into place. Avoid rough surfaces.

Belt buckle becoming loose

Ensure the belt is securely fastened through the buckle. If the buckle itself feels loose, check for any defects and consult the retailer.

Fabric losing its sheen

Avoid harsh washing or excessive ironing. Follow the recommended care instructions to maintain the fabric's subtle sheen. Consider professional dry cleaning for best results.

Playsuit feels too short

This playsuit is designed with a petite cut. For a longer fit, consider the available larger sizes if they offer a different length, or explore other styles designed for non-petite frames.
