FAQs
What length is the midi dress?
The dress falls at approximately 131cm.
Is the dress see-through?
No, the dress is fully lined to ensure comfort and opacity.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Due to the tailored nature and linen material, dry cleaning or gentle hand washing is recommended to preserve the shape and stitching.
What shoes pair best with this dress?
For a relaxed look, try a woven clutch and flat sandals; for a more sophisticated evening ensemble, choose strappy heeled sandals.
What material is this dress made of?
This specific variant (Size 10) is crafted from linen.
Does the bodice have a lot of stretch?
As this is a tailored dress, it is designed for a structured fit and does not feature the stretch found in jersey or elastane blends.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles appearing after sitting
This is a natural characteristic of linen. Use a handheld steamer for quick touch-ups before events to restore the crisp look.
Tight fit around the bust or waist
As a tailored piece, it lacks the elasticity of knit fabrics. Ensure you refer to the official size guide to confirm your measurements for a size 10 vs nearby sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this dress is crafted from linen, it is recommended that you steam the garment before your first wear to remove any creases from packaging. To maintain the structural integrity of the bodice and the longevity of the contrast stitching, dry cleaning is the preferred method for care. If you choose to hand wash, use cool water and a gentle detergent designed for natural fibers, then lay the dress flat to dry to avoid distorting the hemline. Avoid machine drying, as the high heat may shrink the lining or damage the stitch tension.
