FAQs

What is the primary material of the dress?

The dress is primarily made from a viscose and linen blend, with a cotton lining for comfort and structure.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

This dress is ideal for special occasions such as summer weddings, garden parties, race days, and formal evening events.

How should I clean this dress?

Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid wringing or machine drying. Iron on a low heat setting.

What type of bra is recommended for the one-shoulder design?

Seamless or strapless bras, or adhesive bra options are typically best suited for a one-shoulder silhouette.

What is the approximate length of the midi skirt?

The skirt is cut to approximately 131cm in length, providing an elegant, floor-grazing proportion.

Can the draped cape be removed?

The draped cape is an integrated design feature and cannot be removed.

Does the dress run true to size?

Based on standard sizing, the dress is expected to fit true to size. However, checking the brand's specific size guide is always recommended for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily

The linen blend may crease. Try steaming the dress or ironing on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom can also help relax wrinkles.

Cape drapes unevenly

Ensure the dress is properly aligned on your shoulders. Check that the shoulder seam is sitting correctly. You may need to adjust the fit slightly.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with linen blends. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not over-drying the garment. Gentle tumbling in a dryer on a low, cool setting with a damp cloth can sometimes soften the fabric.

Choker detail feels restrictive

The high neck choker is part of the design. Ensure the correct size has been selected. If it feels uncomfortable, consider if this particular neckline style suits your preference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit. The dress is designed to be worn as is, requiring no assembly or installation.

Compatibility:

  • Undergarments: Due to the one-shoulder design, consider seamless or strapless undergarments. A plunge bra or adhesive options may be suitable depending on personal preference and support needs.
  • Accessories: Pairs well with strappy heels, delicate jewelry, and structured clutch bags. Avoid overly chunky accessories that might detract from the dress's design.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the delicate nature of the viscose and linen blend, hand washing is recommended. Use cool water and a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, preferably while the garment is slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Pay close attention to the care label for specific instructions.
  • Storage: Store on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the draped cape.
