FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

The dress is designed for versatile styling, suitable for elevated daywear such as lunches or art gallery visits, as well as more formal occasions like dinners or cocktail events.

How can I style the chimney collar?

The chimney collar is adjustable and convertible. You can wear it fully up for a more dramatic and covered look, or fold it down for a softer, more open neckline, depending on the occasion and your preference.

What does 'canvas-stretch' refer to?

Canvas-stretch indicates a fabric weave that provides a sturdy yet flexible structure, combined with added stretch for comfort and a better fit without compromising the fabric's inherent qualities.

Can I machine wash this dress?

It is not recommended to machine wash this dress. Hand washing in cold water is the preferred method to preserve the fabric's integrity and shape.

How should I store the dress?

Store the dress by hanging it on a padded hanger to maintain the drape and prevent creasing. Ensure it is in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What is the best way to iron this dress?

Iron on a low heat setting, ideally while the dress is slightly damp. Using a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric is also recommended to protect the material.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Gently stretch the fabric while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid over-drying. A low-heat iron can also help restore softness.

Draping appears uneven

Ensure the dress is hung properly. If the draping has shifted, gently reposition it. The fabric's natural drape should naturally fall into place when worn.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If resistance continues, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help.
