What is the material of the dress?

The dress is primarily made from wool, contributing to its luxurious feel and structured form.

Can I machine wash this dress?

How does the bandage knit construction affect the fit?

The bandage knit is designed to be form-fitting and contour the body. It offers a structured, figure-enhancing silhouette. It's important to select your correct size for the intended fit.

Is the tassel hem sheer?

Yes, the midi length features a sheer tassel overlay that creates an elegant tiered effect, adding movement and dimension.

How should I store this dress?

Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent stretching. Ensure the tassels have space to hang freely and are not crushed to maintain their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Tassels becoming tangled

Gently separate individual tassels by hand. Store the dress with ample space to prevent tangling.

Dress losing shape after cleaning

Ensure the 'dry clean only' instruction was followed precisely. If reshaping is needed, consult a professional dry cleaner experienced with knitwear.

Bandage knit stretching

Avoid over-stretching the fabric when trying on or wearing. Ensure correct storage by hanging on a padded hanger, not folding.

Crew neckline appearing too tight or loose

The neckline is designed for a snug fit. If it feels uncomfortable, double-check you have the correct size. Minor adjustments are best left to a tailor if absolutely necessary.
