FAQs

What type of occasion is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for formal occasions such as weddings, graduations, cocktail parties, and formal dinners due to its elegant design and midi length.

How should I style this dress for different events?

For daytime ceremonies, pair with strappy heels and a clutch. For evening events or race days, consider statement accessories like a fascinator and minimal jewellery to complement the dress's architectural details.

What is the recommended care for this dress?

The dress should be dry cleaned only to preserve its fabric and tailored structure. Use a cool iron if needed, and store on a padded hanger.

Does the asymmetrical hemline affect shoe choice?

Yes, the asymmetrical hemline can highlight footwear. Strappy heeled sandals or elegant court shoes generally work well to complement the dress's modern aesthetic.

What is the significance of the colour block detail?

The colour block detail is a contemporary design element that adds visual interest and a modern twist to the classic midi dress silhouette.

Is the fit true to size?

Please refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for the most accurate fit information. As this is a tailored garment, exact fit can vary.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not hang correctly

Ensure the dress is hung on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Check if the internal care label advises dry cleaning, as improper washing can affect the drape. Consider professional pressing if the tailoring appears disturbed.

Colour block appears uneven

This is a design feature. The colour block is intentionally placed for visual interest. If there is actual damage or misalignment, consult the retailer.

Fabric feels creased after storage

Attempt to steam the dress on a low setting or have it professionally dry-cleaned and pressed. Avoid ironing directly on the fabric; use a pressing cloth if necessary and on a cool setting.
