FAQs
What material is the dress made of?
The dress is crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to hold the tailored silhouette.
Is this dress appropriate for office wear?
Yes, the sophisticated cut and modest midi length make it an excellent choice for a professional work environment.
Does the dress have a lining?
The construction is designed to be structured and fluid, typically featuring a finish that allows for a smooth drape over the body.
How should I clean this dress?
We recommend professional dry cleaning to protect the tailored structure and the integrity of the cape detail.
Can I wear a necklace with the round neckline?
The clean, round neckline serves as a perfect canvas for both delicate necklaces and bolder statement pieces.
Does the cape restrict arm movement?
While the cape is a design feature, it is tailored to allow for natural arm movement while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing on the cape overlay
Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance to prevent heat damage to the fabric.
Cape detail appearing uneven
Ensure the garment is hung correctly on a structured hanger and allow it to settle; light steaming can help relax the fabric into its intended position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its structured silhouette, always hang the garment on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder distortion from the cape detail. As the garment is crafted from high-quality polyester, it is essential to check the internal care label for specific washing instructions, as machine washing may compromise the tailored construction. For best results, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric's sheen and the garment's crisp lines. When styling, avoid heavy bag straps that might pull against the cape overlay, as this could misalign the asymmetric drape.
