FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, races, graduation ceremonies, and sophisticated evening events.

How should I style this dress?

The dress makes a statement on its own. Style with minimal jewellery, strappy heels, and a clutch bag to let the design take centre stage.

What is the fabric composition?

The dress is made from 97% Polyester and 3% Elastane, providing a comfortable stretch.

How do I care for this dress?

It is recommended to dry clean the dress only to maintain its quality and vibrant colours.

Does the stretch fabric make the fit forgiving?

The stretch fabric enhances comfort and allows for movement within the tailored fit. However, the tailored nature means it is designed to contour the body, so consider sizing carefully.

Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

The sleeveless design makes it suitable for warmer weather. The polyester blend offers some breathability, but for very high temperatures, consider layering options or ensure adequate ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit correctly

Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. Consider the stretch fabric for a snug but comfortable fit. If between sizes, the tailored fit might lean towards the smaller size for a sculpted look, or the larger size for more comfort.

Creasing after storage

Hang the dress immediately after removing it from storage. Use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric if necessary. Steaming can also help release minor creases.

Colour transfer concerns

Given the bold colour block design, it is advised to only dry clean the garment. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or heat which could potentially lead to colour transfer.
