Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the fabric stretchy?

The dress features a bandage knit with a small amount of elastane, which provides some give while maintaining a sculpted, firm fit.

What is the dress length?

The dress has an approximate length of 106cm, which typically hits at a mini length depending on the wearer's height.

Can I wear this to a formal dinner?

Yes, by adding a tailored blazer and strappy sandals, the military aesthetic translates well to smart-evening and corporate dinner environments.

Does it have real pockets?

Yes, the dress features four functional patch pockets—two on the chest and two at the hip.

How should I clean the gold buttons?

Wipe the buttons gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, as they may damage the metallic finish.

Is this dress suitable for summer?

The sleeveless cut and breathable knit structure make it a great choice for polished summer office wear and outdoor events.

Troubleshooting

Knit fabric appears slightly wrinkled or uneven

Allow the dress to hang on a proper hanger for 24 hours to let the weight of the fabric smooth out naturally; avoid direct heat irons.

Gold buttons feel loose

Check the reverse side of the button attachment points; if a thread is fraying, take it to a professional tailor to secure the hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment uses specific gold-tone hardware and a precision-knit fabric, care is essential to maintain its longevity.

Storage: Always hang the dress on a padded hanger to ensure the knit retains its structure and the shoulder area does not stretch.
Cleaning: Given the structural nature of the bandage knit and the presence of metal buttons, professional dry cleaning is recommended to prevent the knit from snagging or losing its shape in a home washing machine.
Compatibility: The dress pairs best with structured accessories. Avoid bulky jewelry that might snag the knit or conflict with the detailed gold-tone buttons. When choosing undergarments, prioritize seamless options to maintain the smooth silhouette provided by the bandage knit fabric.
