FAQs

What type of fabric is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from a woven modal-rich fabric, known for its soft, smooth handle and excellent drape.

How long is the dress?

The midi length falls to approximately 134cm.

Can I wear this dress to a formal event?

Yes, with appropriate styling such as heels and elegant accessories, this dress can be suitable for many formal or semi-formal occasions.

What jewelry should I wear with this dress?

Due to the statement gold-tone hardware at the neckline, it's recommended to keep jewelry minimal. Let the dress's neckline detail be the focal point.

How should I care for the batwing sleeves?

The batwing sleeves are designed for a relaxed fit and drape. Ensure they are not creased during washing or drying; laying flat to dry is often best for maintaining their shape.

Is this dress suitable for all seasons?

What is the return policy for this dress?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on returns and exchanges.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang as expected

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a padded hanger to maintain shoulder shape. Check if the garment has been subjected to excessive heat during drying, which can affect the fabric's drape.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Modal-rich fabrics can sometimes feel stiff if dried on high heat. Try re-washing on a cold, gentle cycle and air dry, or tumble dry on the lowest setting. Using a fabric softener can also help restore softness.

Gold-tone hardware shows signs of tarnishing

Gently polish the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing the hardware to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or abrasive cleaners. Store the dress separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching or tarnishing.
