FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The Abigail dress is ideal for special occasions such as weddings, parties, christenings, or formal dinners due to its elegant maxi length and romantic floral print.

What type of undergarments should I wear?

A seamless bra is recommended. Given the V-neckline, a plunge bra or a bra with a low center gore would be most suitable.

How true to size is the UK 10?

The dress is designed to fit a standard UK size 10. It is advisable to consult the Phase Eight size chart for detailed measurements to ensure the best fit.

Can the pleats be easily ironed out?

The pleats are a key design feature. They should be carefully pressed with a cool iron on the reverse side to maintain their shape and avoid flattening them.

Is the floral print vibrant or subtle?

The description notes an 'understated yet feminine floral print', suggesting it is elegant and not overly bold.

What is the fabric composition?

Specific fabric composition is not provided in the product details, but typically occasionwear of this style uses materials like polyester blends, viscose, or silk for drape and print quality.

How should I store the dress?

Hang the dress on a padded or satin hanger to protect the shoulders and maintain its shape. Avoid folding it for long periods to prevent creasing, especially in the pleated areas.

Troubleshooting

Creasing after storage or travel

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes or use a cool iron on the reverse side, taking care not to flatten the pleats.

Color transfer from floral print

Follow care instructions carefully. Avoid washing with dissimilar colors, especially on the first wash. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for initial care.

Faux-wrap bodice gapping

Ensure the dress is the correct size. If slight gapping occurs, a small, discreet safety pin can be used to secure the wrap area.
