FAQs

What is Re-nylon?

Re-nylon is Prada's innovative fabric made from recycled plastic waste collected from oceans. It offers the same quality and aesthetic as traditional nylon but with a more sustainable approach.

Is the dress lined?

No, the garment description states it is unlined.

What type of fit does the gored silhouette provide?

A gored silhouette typically flares out from the waist or hips, offering a more voluminous and comfortable fit with increased freedom of movement.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts and compare them with your own measurements. The provided size is UK 12. Other sizes may be available as variants.

Can this dress be worn in wet weather?

Re-nylon has water-resistant properties, making it suitable for light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may still result in dampness.

How should I care for the conceptual triangle logo?

The logo is typically a durable material integrated into the garment. Standard care instructions for the dress should be sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning directly on the logo.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

Its versatile design makes it suitable for a range of occasions, from smart casual daytime events to more formal evening gatherings, depending on how it is styled.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival

Gently steam the garment on a low setting or have it professionally pressed. Avoid direct high heat ironing on the exterior.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil rub on the teeth might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Fabric feels less structured than expected

Ensure the garment is fully zipped and the collar is properly aligned. The unlined nature means its structure relies heavily on the cut and fabric itself. Consider a structured undergarment if more form is desired.
