FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is ideal for various formal occasions such as weddings, graduations, formal dinners, race days, and other special events.

How should I accessorize this dress?

The dress pairs well with strappy heeled sandals, a structured clutch, and statement jewelry. For raceday, a fascinator is recommended. Keep accessories minimal to let the dress's details shine.

Can the wrap-style bodice be adjusted for more coverage?

The wrap-style bodice offers some adjustability through how the sash is tied. However, significant changes to coverage would require professional tailoring.

What is the length of the midi dress?

The dress is designed to fall at a midi length, typically below the knee and above the ankle, offering a versatile and elegant silhouette.

What type of undergarments are recommended?

A seamless bra is recommended. Depending on the V-neckline depth and fabric opacity, a plunge bra or bralette might be suitable. Consider nude or matching colours.

How do I ensure the asymmetrical hemline lays correctly?

The asymmetrical hemline is designed to create movement and dimension. Ensure the dress is hung properly on a suitable hanger. Any significant distortion might require professional attention.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after storage

Gently steam the dress on a low setting, or take it to a professional dry cleaner for pressing. Avoid direct ironing on high heat.

Fit feels slightly off around the waist

The wrap style allows for some adjustment. Try re-tying the waist sash to a slightly different tension. For significant fit issues, consider professional tailoring.

Fabric feels stiff after cleaning

This may indicate an issue with the dry cleaning process. Air the garment out. If the stiffness persists, consult the dry cleaner.

Care Instructions:

  • Dry Clean Only: Due to the delicate nature of soft tailoring and fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the dress's shape and integrity.
  • Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct heat and steam on embellishments or delicate areas.
  • Storage: Hang the dress on a padded or wide hanger to prevent stretching or distortion of the shoulders and hemline. Store in a breathable garment bag.
