What is the fit like?

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased upon arrival

This is common with linen blends. Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a low setting following care instructions.

Gold hardware losing its shine

Gently polish the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or exposing it to harsh chemicals.

Belt does not cinch effectively

Ensure the belt is threaded through the loops correctly and tightened to your preference. The design is intended to cinch, not create a tight closure.
