FAQs
What material is this dress made of?
This dress is crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to hold structured, tailored shapes.
Is the midi length suitable for all heights?
The midi length is designed to be versatile; however, its position will vary based on your height, generally hitting at or below the mid-calf.
Can this dress be machine washed?
Due to the soft tailored construction and gathering details, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the dress's architectural integrity.
What kind of accessories should I pair with this dress?
Minimalist jewellery is recommended to avoid cluttering the visual interest of the colour block design. Strappy heels work well with the asymmetrical hem.
Is the dress appropriate for evening receptions?
Yes, the sophisticated silhouette and colour blocking make it perfectly suited for evening receptions, ceremonies, and formal gatherings.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low, delicate setting to gently release creases without damaging the tailored seams.
The wrap bodice sits improperly
Ensure the waist gathering is adjusted correctly; if the fit is inconsistent, check that you are wearing the correct size and consider a professional tailor for minor adjustments.
Pros and Cons

- Versatile midi length suits both daytime and evening formal events
- Architectural asymmetrical hemline adds a modern fashion element

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure this dress retains its structured aesthetic, proper care is essential. Always check the internal garment label for specific washing instructions, as the tailored nature of the piece usually necessitates professional dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash. Avoid tumble drying to prevent damage to the fabric or distortion of the gathering at the waist. When storing, use a high-quality padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and bodice. Compatibility-wise, the dress works best with seamless undergarments due to the tailored wrap style, and it pairs perfectly with minimalist jewellery to keep the focus on the colour block design.
