Styling Q&A
- Q: How long does shipping take?
- A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.
- Q: I'm usually a US size 16—which size should I order?
- A: This dress follows true US sizing, so if you're a US 16, order the 2XL. Check the detailed measurements in our size chart and compare to a dress you currently own for the most accurate fit. The knit fabric has stretch, so if you're between sizes, either will work depending on whether you prefer a more relaxed or closer fit.
- Q: Will this dress be flattering on a fuller figure?
- A: Absolutely! This dress is specifically designed for plus-size bodies with proportions that celebrate curves. The relaxed fit drapes beautifully without clinging, the midi length provides elegant coverage, and the striped pattern creates visual interest. The knit fabric moves with your body comfortably, and you can add a belt to define the waist if you prefer more structure.
- Q: Can I wear this to work in a business casual office?
- A: Yes! This dress works beautifully in business casual settings. Style it with a blazer or cardigan, add appropriate footwear (closed-toe shoes or boots), keep jewelry simple, and ensure your overall look is polished. The midi length and long sleeves make it office-appropriate, and the classic striped pattern is professional.
- Q: Does the striped pattern run horizontally or vertically?
- A: The striped pattern runs horizontally across the dress, which is a classic, timeless look. Don't worry about the old "vertical stripes only" rule—horizontal stripes on a relaxed, well-proportioned dress like this create visual interest and look incredibly chic. The key is the overall fit and how you feel wearing it.
- Q: Is this dress see-through or will I need a slip?
- A: The dress is fully opaque—no slip or underlayers required. The quality polyester knit fabric is substantial enough to wear confidently on its own. You may choose to wear shapewear underneath for personal preference, but it's not necessary for coverage.
- Q: How do I prevent this knit dress from stretching out?
- A: The polyester knit has excellent recovery properties, meaning it bounces back to its original shape. To maintain it best: wash on gentle cycle, avoid high heat in the dryer (tumble dry low or air dry), and store folded rather than hung (hanging can stretch the shoulders over time). With proper care, this dress will maintain its shape beautifully.
