FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The MELA DRESS is designed to be versatile, suitable for casual outings, daytime events like brunches or garden parties, and can be dressed up for semi-formal occasions.

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from crepe fabric, known for its elegant drape and slightly textured finish.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the brand's size guide and take your measurements, particularly chest and waist, as the empire line waist seam is a key design feature.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is strongly recommended to dry clean the dress. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the crepe fabric and affect the dress's drape and longevity.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length. For reference, the length of a UK Size 8 is 125cm.

Does the dress have pockets?

The product description does not mention pockets, so it is likely that this dress does not feature them.

What is the return policy?

Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for details on returning or exchanging the product.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing/storage.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Ensure the dress is completely dry before storing.

Fit around the empire waist is not as expected.

Consider if the sizing is correct for your body shape. Consult the size guide and compare measurements. Minor alterations may be an option for a perfect fit.

Fabric feels stiff or loses its drape.

This may indicate improper washing. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing. For future washes, adhere strictly to dry clean or very gentle hand wash recommendations.

Pros and Cons

  • Practical features like short sleeves with elasticated cuffs and rear keyhole fastening.

  • May require ironing or steaming to maintain a smooth appearance due to crepe fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a garment, the FINERY LONDON MELA DRESS requires no setup. It is compatible with standard women's wardrobes.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate crepe fabric, it is recommended to dry clean the dress for best results and to maintain its shape and texture. Alternatively, a very gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent may be possible, but this carries a higher risk of damage.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a padded hanger away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Ironing: Iron on a cool setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric. A garment steamer can also be used to remove wrinkles effectively.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Consider hanging the dress to prevent creasing.
