What type of fabric is it made from?

The dress is made from a structured crepe fabric, known for its refined finish and ability to hold its shape.

How should I care for this dress?

Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the dress's structure and fabric quality. If hand washing, use cold water and mild detergent, then lay flat to dry.

Due to its structured nature, the dress has minimal stretch. It is designed for a tailored fit.

What is the length of the midi dress?

The dress features a midi length, typically falling below the knee and above the ankle, providing a sophisticated and covered silhouette.

Can this dress be altered?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Hang the dress on a padded hanger and allow it to drape. If creases persist, use a cool iron on the reverse side or consult a professional dry cleaner.

Fit is too tight or restrictive

Ensure the correct size was selected. For minor adjustments, a tailor may be able to assist. Consider the garment's structured nature; it offers less flexibility than stretch fabrics.

Fabric shows signs of wear after cleaning

Adhere strictly to the recommended dry-cleaning instructions. Hand washing should be done with extreme care in cold water, and drying should be flat and away from direct heat.
