FAQs
What size should I order for the Stripe Print Pleated Midi Dress?
The dress is designed to be 'True to size'. We recommend ordering your usual UK dress size for the best fit. For specific body measurements, please consult the Roman size guide if available.
Can this dress be worn in cooler weather or only during Spring/Summer?
While primarily designed for Spring/Summer with its sleeveless design, you can extend its wear into cooler transitional periods. Layer it with a stylish cardigan, a tailored blazer, or a chic jacket, and potentially add opaque tights for added warmth.
How do I best maintain the pleated skirt to keep its shape?
To preserve the pleats, machine wash on a gentle cycle and always air dry the dress on a hanger. Avoid high heat tumble drying, which can flatten the pleats. A garment steamer is excellent for refreshing and maintaining the pleats between washes.
Is the belted waist removable or sewn into the dress?
Info needed: Please refer to the product imagery or a detailed description on the product page to confirm if the belted waist is a separate, removable accessory or integrated into the dress design.
What types of occasions is this dress most suitable for?
This versatile dress is perfect for a range of special occasions including wedding guest attire, race days, garden parties, elegant brunches, and other semi-formal Spring/Summer events. Its vibrant print and elegant silhouette make it suitable for celebratory gatherings.
What is the material composition of the dress and its lining?
Both the main fabric and the lining of the dress are made from 100% Polyester. This material choice contributes to the dress's excellent drape, durability, and ease of care.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose around the waist.
Adjust the tie-back detail at the neck and the belted waist to achieve a more comfortable and flattering fit. The tie-back offers some adjustability for the bodice, while the belt cinches the waist.
Pleats appear flattened or wrinkled after washing.
After machine washing according to care instructions, immediately hang the dress to air dry. The weight of the fabric while drying will help restore the pleats. A garment steamer can also be used gently to refresh and redefine the pleats.
The concealed zip is sticking or difficult to pull.
Ensure no fabric from the dress or lining is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, carefully rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper lubricant along the teeth where it's sticking to ease movement.

Initial Setup: Your Stripe Print Pleated Midi Dress arrives ready to wear. No complex setup is required; simply put it on and style as desired. Compatibility: This dress offers excellent styling compatibility, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. - Footwear: Pair with strappy heels for formal events, or elegant sandals/wedges for a more relaxed yet chic look. - Accessories: Complement the halterneck with delicate necklaces or earrings. A clutch bag and a fascinator are ideal for race days or weddings. - Outerwear: For cooler evenings or transitional weather, a light cardigan, a tailored blazer, or a denim jacket can be styled over the dress. Care Instructions: Proper care will help maintain the dress's beauty and pleats. - Washing: The dress is Machine Washable (100% Polyester). Always wash with similar colors on a gentle cycle, using cold or warm water. Refer to the inner care label for precise temperature guidance. - Drying: To preserve the pleats and prevent excessive wrinkles, air dry the dress by hanging it. If machine drying is necessary, use a very low heat setting and remove promptly. - Ironing: If wrinkles occur, iron on a low heat setting. Polyester is generally wrinkle-resistant, so heavy ironing is rarely needed. Consider using a garment steamer for quick touch-ups and to refresh the pleats. - Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing of the pleats.
