FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, races, graduation ceremonies, and other events where a polished and sophisticated appearance is required.

How should I style this dress for different seasons?

The three-quarter length sleeves make it versatile. For cooler weather, layer a tailored coat or a sophisticated jacket over the dress without compromising its silhouette.

What type of footwear pairs best with this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals, classic pumps, or elegant court shoes complement the midi length and structured lines of the dress. A sleek clutch bag is also recommended.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

Yes, the dress is made from a stretch-infused fabric, which ensures a smooth, structured fit that moves with ease while retaining its sharp shape.

How do I care for the dress to maintain its shape?

It is recommended to dry clean the dress only. Hang it on a suitable hanger to maintain its tailored structure and avoid folding for long-term storage.

Can the belt be removed?

The dress comes with a matching buckle belt designed to cinch the waist. While typically attached or designed to be worn, consult the product details if you need to confirm if it's removable for alternative styling.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch-infused fabric offers some give, but the tailored fit is designed to be snug. Consider if the chosen size is appropriate for your comfort needs during extended wear.

Creasing after storage or travel

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Professional dry cleaning can also help to press out stubborn creases.

Colour transfer or fading

Adhere strictly to the 'dry clean only' instruction. Washing with water or harsh detergents can lead to colour loss or transfer.
