What is the fabric made of?

The dress is crafted from a premium blend of viscose, lyocell, and linen, offering both structure and breathability.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Due to the delicate fabric blend and structured design, hand washing in cool water or dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the dress's quality and shape. Machine washing is not advised.

What is the length of the skirt?

Does the belt come with the dress?

How should I care for the gold hardware?

The gold hardware should be kept clean and dry. Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth if needed, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears creased after wear.

The blend is designed to hold shape, but minor creases can be smoothed out by hanging the dress or using a low-heat iron. For stubborn wrinkles, consider a light steam or ironing on a damp cloth.

Gold hardware on the belt looks dull.

Gently wipe the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Dress feels stiff after washing.

This is often characteristic of the linen blend, indicating its structured quality. Wearing the dress will help soften it over time. Ensure you are following the recommended cool water hand wash or dry cleaning instructions.

Sizing feels incorrect.

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for accurate measurements. UK sizing can differ from other international standards. Check the bust, waist, and hip measurements against the dress's specifications.
