For cooler weather, layer a tailored coat or blazer over the dress. The three-quarter sleeves make it suitable for spring and autumn. In warmer weather, wear it with sandals and minimal accessories.

What kind of footwear pairs well with this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals are recommended to complement the midi length and structured lines. Heels generally enhance the formal aesthetic.

What material is the dress made of?

How should I clean the dress to maintain its shape?

It is recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cold water. Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger. Avoid tumble drying and high heat ironing.

The matching buckle belt is designed to cinch the waist and is typically worn with the dress. It may be detachable for styling preferences or cleaning.

Is this dress suitable for professional settings?

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing

Gently steam the garment on a cool setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Ensure it is fully dry before ironing on a low heat setting.

Belt buckle is stiff

Gently flex the buckle mechanism. If it persists, contact customer support for assistance. Avoid forcing the buckle.
