This midi-length piece features an intricate open-weave cutwork pattern and a structured button-through design, making it suitable for both professional environments and special outdoor occasions.

While the label may permit delicate washing, it is highly recommended to use a mesh garment bag to prevent the intricate cutwork from snagging on other items or the machine drum.
Yes, the dress is designed with a lining to ensure modesty and to highlight the depth of the open-weave pattern.
It is best stored on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar, ensuring it is kept away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white cotton.
The belt is removable, allowing you to personalize the look with your own leather or fabric belts to change the silhouette.
While the cutwork and material are ideal for warm weather, the shirt-dress style allows for layering with a trench coat or lightweight knitwear for transitional seasons.
Do not pull on loose threads; use a pair of small, sharp embroidery scissors to carefully trim them at the base to avoid damaging the weave.
Use a garment steamer on a low-heat setting to remove creases without risking the structural damage that high-heat ironing can cause to delicate cutwork.
To maintain the appearance of the cutwork fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended whenever possible to prevent the delicate open-weave from snagging. If washing at home, use a cold, gentle cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the material from friction. Avoid tumble drying; hang the dress to dry in a shaded area to maintain the crisp white color and structural shape. The included belt should be stored flat or hung to prevent permanent creasing. When styling, the neutral tone pairs effectively with gold or silver accessories, and the midi length is compatible with a wide range of footwear, from pointed-toe heels to sophisticated flats.
