FAQs

Is the fabric machine washable?

It is highly recommended to follow the care label. Due to the delicate lace and structured polyester, dry cleaning is the safest method to maintain the dress's fit.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress falls to a midi length of approximately 134cm.

Does the dress have any stretch?

Yes, the dress is made from a compact stretch fabric which provides a firm hold while allowing for flexibility during wear.

Can I wear this to a wedding?

Absolutely, the refined lace detail and sophisticated silhouette make it an ideal choice for formal occasions, including weddings.

Does the front split affect the fit?

The front split is a design feature intended to add ease of movement without compromising the tailored, structured look of the skirt.

Is the bodice lined?

Yes, the dress features a lined construction to ensure a smooth, defined fit and to provide appropriate coverage.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing slightly wrinkled after storage

Use a professional garment steamer on a low, gentle setting, keeping the steamer at a distance from the lace sections.

Difficulty with zipper movement

Ensure the fabric is pulled taut before zipping and check that no inner lining is caught in the zipper teeth.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress remains in peak condition, follow these care and styling guidelines:

  1. Care: Always check the inner garment label for specific laundering instructions. Due to the intricate lace and structured fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and texture.
  2. Storage: Store on a quality, padded hanger to prevent the bodice from losing its structured shape or the lace from snagging.
  3. Undergarments: Given the sculpted waist, seamless undergarments are recommended to ensure a completely smooth silhouette.
  4. Styling: The 134cm length pairs best with pointed-toe heels or strappy sandals to elongate the leg and complement the midi hemline.
