FAQs
What material is the dress made of?
The main fabric is 100% cotton, and the lining is a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
How should I wash this dress?
The care instructions specify machine wash at 30 degrees. However, for high-fashion garments, hand washing or professional dry cleaning is often recommended to maintain fabric integrity and design details.
What is the fit like?
The dress features an asymmetric, sleeveless, mini silhouette with drape detailing. It is designed for a modern, fashion-forward fit.
Where is this dress made?
This dress is made in Italy.
What color is the button?
The button is gold-tone.
How do I fasten the dress?
The dress features a side zip fastening.
Can this dress be worn for casual occasions?
While designed with a high-fashion aesthetic, it can be dressed down with more casual footwear like stylish sneakers or boots for a fashion-forward casual look.
Troubleshooting
Dress does not hang correctly
Ensure the garment has been properly steamed or ironed according to care instructions. Check that the side zip is fully closed and that the drape detailing is arranged as intended.
Gold-tone button appears tarnished
Gently polish the button with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish. If significant tarnishing occurs, professional restoration might be considered.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
The 100% cotton fabric may stiffen slightly after washing. A low-heat tumble dry or gentle ironing can help restore its softness. Avoid over-drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment and requires no setup. Ensure it is properly steamed or ironed before wearing to achieve the intended drape and silhouette.
Compatibility: The dress is designed as a standalone piece. Consider pairing it with neutral-toned footwear and accessories to allow the dress's design to be the primary focus. It works well with strappy heels, pointed-toe pumps, or heeled boots.
Care Instructions: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. While machine washing is possible, for optimal preservation of the fabric and design details, hand washing or dry cleaning is often recommended for high-fashion items. Iron on a low setting if needed, being careful around embellishments. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
