FAQs

What is the material composition of the dress?

The dress is crafted from a structured bandage knit fabric designed for a body-sculpting finish.

Is the dress true to size?

The bandage knit is designed for a very close, sculpting fit. If you prefer a slightly less compressive feel, consider the specific fit requirements for your body type.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Given the delicate nature of the contrast piping and gold-tone hardware, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the garment's appearance.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes, the patch pockets located at the hip and chest are functional.

What is the length of the dress?

This is a midi-length dress designed to sit below the knee.

Does the gold hardware tarnish?

The hardware is high-quality, but to maintain its finish, avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and moisture.

Troubleshooting

Zip feels difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is pulled taut but not over-stretched while zipping; check for any snagged threads near the zip track.

Fabric appears to have slight tension marks

Allow the garment to hang on a hanger in a cool, ventilated area to allow the knit to settle back to its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the structural integrity of the bandage knit, always follow the garment's specific care label instructions. Due to the high-density nature of the material, it is recommended to dry clean this dress to prevent loss of shape or damage to the contrast piping and gold-tone hardware. When storing, hang the dress on a sturdy, padded hanger to maintain the shoulder structure, rather than folding, which can cause permanent creases in the bandage fabric. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or jewelry that could snag the knit structure.
