FAQs

What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?

The Orla Midi Dress is perfect for garden weddings, sunlit celebrations, events, parties, and other semi-formal to formal occasions where understated elegance is desired.

What are the primary colors in the floral print?

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a luxurious satin material, primarily composed of polyester.

How should I care for the satin fabric?

It is best to dry clean the dress. If hand washing, use cool water and mild detergent, and lay flat to dry away from heat or direct sun. Iron on a cool setting on the reverse side.

Does the dress have pockets?

The product description does not specify the presence of pockets. Please refer to detailed product images or specifications if this is a critical feature.

What is the fit like?

The dress sculpts the waist and drapes into a sweeping A-line skirt. It features a square neckline and a scooped back.

Can this dress be worn in different seasons?

While the floral print and satin material lend themselves well to spring and summer, the midi length and ability to layer with a cardigan or jacket make it adaptable for cooler weather events as well.

Troubleshooting

Satin fabric appears creased

Gently steam the garment on a cool setting or iron on the reverse side using a cool iron and a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat.

Dress does not drape as expected

Ensure the dress is hung correctly on a suitable hanger. Satin can sometimes be sensitive to how it's stored or worn; ensure it's fully smoothed out before wearing.

Color appears dull after washing

This is best avoided by following the dry cleaning recommendation. If hand-washed, ensure only mild detergents were used and the garment was not exposed to direct sunlight during drying.
