FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from a high-quality, durable polyester compact stretch fabric.

How long is the dress?

The midi skirt falls to approximately 134cm in length.

Is the dress suitable for machine washing?

Due to the delicate lace bodice and structured tailoring, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the design.

Does the dress have any stretch?

Yes, it is made from a compact stretch fabrication that offers a balance between a firm, sculpted fit and ease of movement.

Can I wear this to a formal event?

Absolutely, the refined lace detail and structured silhouette are designed specifically for weddings, races, and graduation ceremonies.

What is the purpose of the front split?

The front split is a functional design choice that allows for easier movement and walking, despite the midi-length, tailored fit.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing slightly wrinkled

Use a low-temperature steamer from a distance, focusing primarily on the skirt. Avoid direct heat on the lace bodice.

Snags in the lace

Avoid contact with sharp jewelry or bag clasps. If a thread pulls, do not cut it; gently maneuver it back through the weave if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sculpted, flattering fit due to compact stretch material
  • Sophisticated contrast between lace and structured fabric
  • Versatile for various formal occasions
  • Ease of movement provided by the front hem split
  • High-quality lined interior

  • Specific length may require adjustments for shorter frames

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment relies on a combination of delicate lace and structured polyester, proper care is essential to ensure longevity.

  1. Storage: Always store on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulder and waist panels. Avoid wire hangers which may stretch the fabric.
  2. Maintenance: Due to the intricate lace detailing, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent snagging. If hand-washing, use cool water and a mild detergent, laying the dress flat to dry to avoid distorting the hem.
  3. Compatibility: This dress pairs best with minimalist accessories. Given the visual texture of the lace bodice, avoid overly busy jewelry; opt for simple earrings and a structured bag that matches the clean lines of the dress.
