FAQs

What is the primary material of this dress?

The dress is crafted from lightweight and breathable jersey fabric, primarily made of cotton.

How should I care for the lace trim on the sleeves?

The lace trim should be handled gently. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours in cool water and avoid harsh treatments like bleaching. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is recommended.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

The Fleur Midi Dress is best suited for casual to semi-casual occasions due to its jersey fabric and relaxed A-line silhouette. It can be styled up with accessories but is not intended for formal wear.

How does the smocked bodice affect the fit?

The smocking provides a stretchy and flexible fit, designed to comfortably accommodate different body shapes within a size range.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

While designed for warm weather, the dress can be layered with a cardigan, jacket, or tights to be worn in cooler temperatures.

What colours does this dress come in?

This specific product description pertains to the black variant of the Fleur Midi Dress. Please check other listings for availability in different colours.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, meaning it typically falls below the knee and above the ankle.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight/loose in the bodice.

The smocked bodice is designed for flexibility. If it feels consistently too tight or loose, consider if the size is appropriate for your measurements. Refer to the brand's sizing chart.

Fabric has wrinkled significantly.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a low setting. Hanging the dress after washing and drying can help minimize wrinkles. Consider washing on a delicate cycle.

Lace trim appears damaged.

Inspect the lace trim carefully. If damaged, it may require gentle hand-stitching for repair. Ensure washing and ironing instructions are followed precisely to protect delicate details.
