FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, from casual daytime events like lunches and brunches to more dressed-up gatherings. It can also be styled for smart casual evening events.
How does the linen-viscose blend affect the feel of the dress?
The blend provides breathability and comfort, characteristic of linen, while the viscose offers a softer feel and a more fluid, structured drape compared to pure linen.
What is the best way to care for this dress?
It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash, and either tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry. Iron on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach.
Does the side split affect the modesty of the dress?
The side split is designed to provide ease of movement and a contemporary touch. Its placement and depth are intended to be subtle and appropriate for the midi length.
How does the 140cm length translate to dress length?
The 140cm length refers to the total length of the dress. This measurement positions the dress elegantly at mid-calf, offering a flattering midi proportion for most adult women.
Can this dress be worn in different seasons?
Yes, the breathable fabric makes it ideal for warmer weather. For cooler seasons, it can be effectively layered with jackets or cardigans.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle. For drying, lay flat or tumble dry on low. Iron on a low heat setting or use a steamer, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric.
Fabric feels stiff
This is characteristic of a linen blend. With wear and subsequent washes, the fabric will become softer and more fluid.
Sizing feels off
Refer to the brand's specific size guide and compare your measurements to the garment's dimensions. Note that the dress has a structured drape.
