FAQs
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from polyester, described as a 'slinky soft touch fabric'.
How should I wash this dress?
It is recommended to follow the care label on the garment, but typically polyester items can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at a low temperature. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.
Is this dress suitable for formal events?
Yes, with its elegant cut, chic collar, and flattering twist detail, it can be styled with heels and accessories for formal or semi-formal occasions.
Does the twist detail on the waist provide any stretch?
The twist detail is a design feature to enhance the waist shape. While the polyester fabric itself may have some inherent stretch, the twist is primarily for aesthetic and shaping purposes.
What kind of shoes pair well with this dress?
The description suggests pairing it with court shoes for a polished look. Heels, block heels, or even smart flats can also work depending on the occasion.
Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?
The polyester fabric can be breathable, but it's generally best suited for occasions where a slightly more substantial fabric is appropriate. It can be a good option for spring and autumn, or for indoor events year-round.
What does 'Ikat' refer to in the dress name?
Ikat is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs resist dyeing on the yarns prior to the formation of the cloth. The print on the dress is described as an Ikat print.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after washing.
Ensure the dress is fully air-dried. If creases persist, iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Consider hanging it immediately after washing.
Fabric feels stiff or has lost its drape.
This could be due to incorrect washing or drying. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding high heat. Re-washing with a mild detergent might help restore softness.
Print appears faded.
Avoid direct sunlight during drying and minimize exposure to harsh washing agents. Gentle washing and air drying in the shade will help preserve the print's vibrancy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Due to the polyester material, it is recommended to follow the care label precisely. Typically, machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) is suitable. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: It is best to air dry the dress. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage polyester fibers and affect the fabric's drape.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric. High heat can melt or distort the polyester.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing.
