FAQs

What is the 'cupro touch' fabric?

Cupro is a regenerated cellulose fiber made from cotton linter (the fluffy fibers found on the seed of the cotton plant). It's known for its silk-like feel, breathability, and beautiful drape, often referred to as 'cupro touch' for its luxurious feel.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for elegant evening occasions, such as parties, dinners, or formal events. It can also be dressed down for sophisticated daytime engagements.

How does the drop waist design affect the fit?

The drop waist sits lower than a traditional waistline, creating a bloused effect in the upper body and a longer, flowing skirt. This design can offer a more relaxed yet elegant silhouette.

What is the approximate length of the midi dress?

The dress has a sophisticated midi length hitting at approximately 134cm.

Can I machine wash this dress?

No, it is recommended to dry clean this dress only to maintain the fabric's quality and prevent damage to its structure and drape.

What kind of shoes pair well with this dress?

Strappy heeled sandals are shown for an elegant look, but flat leather sandals or elegant pumps can also be suitable depending on the occasion.

Does the keyhole detail allow for adjustable fit?

The keyhole detail is a design feature and does not typically offer adjustable fit. It provides a subtle element of interest to the neckline.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a steamer on a low setting. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric.

Fabric feels stiff or loses its drape.

This could be due to improper cleaning. Ensure you are adhering to the 'Dry Clean Only' instruction. Avoid washing or machine drying.

Color appears faded.

Direct sunlight can cause fading. Store the dress away from direct light. Professional dry cleaning helps maintain color vibrancy.
