FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The Eleanor Swing Dress is crafted from 100% polyester, known for its durability and silky, plisse texture.

Is the dress machine washable?

We recommend a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag or hand washing to protect the permanent pleats of the plisse fabric.

Does the dress have any stretch?

The plisse fabric provides a natural give, but the dress is primarily designed with a loose swing silhouette for comfort.

How should I store this dress?

Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the integrity of the pleated texture.

Can the neckline zip be adjusted?

Yes, the zip at the neckline is functional and can be adjusted to change the look of the bodice.

What shoes pair best with this dress?

The swing silhouette looks particularly well-styled with knee-high boots, though it can also be paired with ankle boots or elegant flats.

Troubleshooting

Pleats look flattened or stretched

Avoid heavy ironing; gently steam from a distance and hang correctly to restore the natural drape of the plisse.

Fabric snagging

Store the dress in a garment bag to protect the delicate texture from jewelry or sharp objects in your closet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Eleanor dress, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. Due to the delicate nature of the plisse fabric, it is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle cycle with a delicate detergent. Avoid ironing the pleated material directly, as this can flatten the texture; instead, use a handheld steamer from a safe distance if necessary. The dress is best stored by hanging it in a cool, dry place to prevent the pleats from being crushed.
