FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and suitable for a range of occasions, from casual daywear to more polished events like lunches with friends, family celebrations, or weekend brunches.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a versatile 140cm length, designed to sit elegantly at mid-calf.

How should I style this dress?

You can style it with strappy sandals for a casual look, or pair it with heels and jewelry for a more dressed-up ensemble. It also layers well with jackets or cardigans.

What is the fabric blend?

The dress is crafted from a linen-viscose blend, which offers breathable comfort and a structured drape.

Does the side split affect modesty?

The side split is designed for movement and adds a contemporary touch. Its height is generally considered moderate, providing ease without compromising overall coverage.

What are the washing instructions?

It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Iron on a medium heat setting if needed.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

While elegant, its styling leans towards sophisticated daywear. For very formal events, it might require significant accessorizing to match the dress code, but it excels in semi-formal and smart-casual settings.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a medium setting. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom can also help relax wrinkles.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Air drying or low heat tumble drying can help maintain softness. Consider a fabric softener if preferred, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Side split feels restrictive.

The side split is designed for ease of movement. If it feels tight, ensure the dress is not too small in the overall fit. Gentle stretching of the seam area might help slightly over time.
