FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and can be styled for various occasions, from daytime sophistication with boots and minimal jewelry to casual gatherings with trainers and a cardigan. It's also suitable for professional settings or evening events depending on styling.

How do I determine the correct size for the figure-forming fit?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. Given the figure-forming fit, it's important to measure accurately. If you are between sizes, consider the desired level of contouring.

Can I machine wash the entire dress?

It is not recommended to machine wash the entire dress due to the mixed materials, particularly the PU pleated skirt. Hand washing or spot cleaning is advised as per care instructions.

How should I store this dress?

Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the knit and prevent creasing in the pleated skirt. Avoid overcrowding your wardrobe to allow for air circulation.

Does the D-ring hardware require any special care?

The metallic hardware is generally durable. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the return policy for this item?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on returns and exchanges.

Troubleshooting

PU skirt appears creased

Gently steam the skirt from a distance, ensuring the iron or steamer does not directly touch the PU material. Alternatively, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period.

Knitted bodice feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. As the fit is figure-forming, precise sizing is key. The knit may offer slight stretch, but it is designed for a contoured fit.

Discoloration on PU material

Avoid contact with dark dyes or excessive friction, as this can transfer color. If discoloration occurs, try gentle spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
