FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is suitable for a range of smart casual to semi-formal occasions, including business events, dinners, cocktail parties, and as an elegant option for weddings.
What does 'soft tailored' mean in this context?
Soft tailoring refers to a construction method that creates a refined silhouette without the stiffness of traditional tailoring. It aims for a comfortable, flattering fit with a smooth drape.
How do I determine if UK size 14 is the right fit?
Refer to the brand's specific size guide for measurements. It's advisable to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the provided chart. Consider the dress's cut and your preferred fit.
Can the colour block detailing be customized?
This product features a pre-designed colour block. Customization of the colour block is not typically offered for standard retail items.
What type of undergarments are best for this dress?
Seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette. Depending on the dress's lining and fabric, a slip might be beneficial, but the soft tailoring often provides sufficient coverage.
Are there other colours or patterns available for this dress style?
Yes, similar styles with colour block detailing may be available in other colourways or patterns. Please check the product listings for alternative options and sibling products.
How should I store this dress?
Store the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent creasing and fabric damage. Consider using a breathable garment bag if storing for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Dress doesn't fit correctly
Consult the size chart to ensure the UK size 14 is the correct fit. If alterations are needed, consider professional tailoring services. If outside the return window, explore tailoring options.
Fabric appears creased after storage
Gently steam the dress on a low heat setting, ensuring the steamer is not too close to the fabric. Alternatively, follow the recommended ironing instructions, focusing on ironing inside out with a cool iron.
Colour bleeding during cleaning
Always perform a colour fastness test on an inconspicuous area before washing or cleaning. Follow the 'dry clean only' recommendation if available on the care label to prevent colour transfer.
