FAQs

What is the best way to clean this dress?

It is best to hand wash the dress in cold water or use a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid machine washing on standard cycles and do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight.

How should I iron this faux leather dress?

Iron on a cool setting. It is recommended to iron on the reverse side and place a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the faux leather surface.

Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

Yes, the short sleeves make it suitable for warmer weather. For cooler temperatures, it can be layered with a jacket or cardigan.

What kind of shoes pair well with this dress?

The midi length is versatile. It pairs well with ankle boots, sleek heels, flats, or even white trainers for a more casual look.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made of a striking faux leather material with a luxurious sheen and texture.

How does the A-line silhouette fit?

The A-line silhouette is designed to be flattering, flaring out gently from the waist to create a graceful shape that moves beautifully.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

While the faux leather offers a sophisticated look, it leans more towards smart-casual or elegant events. For very formal black-tie events, a different fabric might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Faux leather has lost its sheen

Gently buff the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For a slight restore, a tiny amount of specialist faux leather conditioner can be applied sparingly, following product instructions.

Dress has developed creases

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period to allow the fabric to relax. Alternatively, use a cool iron on the reverse side, placing a thin cloth between the iron and the fabric.

Zip is sticking

Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves smoothly.
