FAQs
What is the best way to clean this wool dress?
The dress is best maintained through professional dry cleaning only. Avoid washing it at home to preserve the fabric's quality and shape.
How should I style the 'Poppy' red color?
The vibrant red can be a statement piece. Pair it with neutral colors like black, white, beige, or navy for a balanced look. It also pairs well with denim for a more casual aesthetic.
Is this dress suitable for all seasons?
The 100% wool construction makes it ideal for cooler weather (spring and autumn). For very cold weather, it can be layered, and for very warm weather, it might be too warm due to the wool content.
What type of undergarments are recommended?
A seamless bra is recommended to maintain the smooth silhouette. Depending on the desired look, a slip may be worn underneath, although the wool offers good opacity.
Does the gathered waist detail offer any adjustability?
The gathered detail is part of the dress's construction and is not adjustable. It is designed to create a specific, flattering fit at the waist.
What is the fit like on this dress?
The dress has a 'slouch' design with a gathered waist, offering a relaxed yet defined fit. Refer to size guides for specific measurements, but generally expect a comfortable drape with waist definition.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival.
Gently steam the dress on a low setting or have it professionally pressed. Hang it on a padded hanger to allow wrinkles to fall out naturally.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth.
Pilling on the wool fabric.
Pilling is natural for wool. Use a fabric shaver or a wool comb to gently remove any small balls of fiber that form. Avoid excessive friction.
Color transfer to other garments.
Due to the vibrant 'Poppy' red color, avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when the dress is new or damp. Follow dry cleaning instructions strictly.
