FAQs
What occasions is this dress best suited for?
This dress is ideal for smart work events, wedding guest attire, cocktail parties, and elevated lunches where a sophisticated statement is desired.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from a compact stretch fabrication that includes elastane for comfort and a smooth, crease-resistant finish.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements. The pencil cut is designed to be fitted.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is strongly recommended to dry clean this dress to preserve its structure and the delicate bow detail. Machine washing is not advised.
What is the length of the dress?
The midi length falls approximately 123cm from the shoulder to the hem.
How should I style the bow detail?
The oversized bow is a focal point. It pairs well with minimalist accessories like sleek heels and a clutch. Avoid overly busy jewelry that might compete with the bow.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after wear.
Hang the dress immediately after wearing. For stubborn creases, use a cool iron on the reverse side only. Ensure the fabric has fully cooled before wearing again.
Bow detail loses its shape.
Ensure the dress is stored properly on a padded hanger. If the bow becomes misshapen, consult a professional dry cleaner for gentle reshaping services.
Fit feels too tight or restrictive.
The dress is designed for a body-skimming fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements. The stretch fabric offers some flexibility.
