FAQs
What does 'petite' sizing mean?
Petite sizing refers to garments designed for individuals with a shorter torso and leg length. This typically means a shorter overall length, adjusted sleeve length, and often a slightly different rise measurement compared to standard sizing.
How do I adjust the ruched bust detail?
The ruched bust detail is usually adjustable via a tie or drawstring within the ruching. Gently pull or loosen the tie to alter the gather and fit around the bust area to your preference.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from 96% Viscose and 4% Elastane, offering a soft feel and a slight stretch for comfort.
Can I wear this dress in hot weather?
Yes, the short sleeves and breathable viscose blend make it suitable for warm weather. Pairing with sandals enhances its suitability for summer.
What is the length of the dress?
The length of the dress is approximately 110cm.
Is this dress suitable for formal events?
While versatile, its stretch jersey fabric and animal print lend themselves more to smart-casual or semi-formal events. Pairing with heels and elegant accessories can elevate its formality.
How should I iron the dress?
Iron the dress on a low heat setting, ideally while slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have shrunk after washing
Ensure the garment was washed and dried according to the care instructions. Use a lower heat setting for drying or opt for line drying. If shrinkage is minimal, a gentle steam or ironing may help relax the fabric.
Color fades quickly
Wash the garment inside out in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Fabric feels stiff
Ensure you are using a mild detergent. A fabric softener can be used sparingly during the final rinse cycle, if recommended by the care label.
