Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'princess cut' actually mean for the fit?
Princess cut seaming runs vertically from the shoulder or bust down to the hem, replacing a traditional waist seam with curved panels. On this dress, those panels sit at both the front and back, pulling the fabric close at the waist and releasing into an A-line flare below. The result is a structured, body-skimming shape that holds its form without boning or lining tricks.
What fabric is this dress made from, and does it feel stiff?
The fabric is 98% polyester, 1% Lurex, and 1% Spandex. The polyester base gives it a tweed-like texture with visual weight. The Lurex thread adds a fine, understated sheen rather than obvious shine. The 1% Spandex means the fabric has a slight give, so it moves with you rather than holding you rigid. It reads as elevated occasionwear without the stiffness of a woven wool tweed.
Can I wear this dress to work and then straight to dinner?
Yes. The Label Life tags this dress for both 9am workwear and 9pm dinner occasions. The structured A-line silhouette and buttoned front work in a professional setting during the day. The Lurex sheen and flap detailing read as evening-appropriate once the office lights go down. Swap your footwear and you're done.
What makes the buttoned front a design choice rather than just a closure?
The front features a buttoned placket with a flap overlay, which means the buttons sit behind a structured fabric panel rather than being exposed fastenings. That flap detail is the visual centrepiece of the dress, giving it a tailored, intentional look that reads as a design signature rather than a functional element.
What length is the dress, and where does it fall on the body?
The dress measures 36 inches from shoulder to hem. On the model, who wears a size S, it falls at the knee. If you're taller, it will sit slightly above the knee. If you're shorter, it may fall just below. The knee-length cut keeps it appropriate for formal daywear and most dinner settings.
What sizes are available?
This dress comes in XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. That's a full six-size run. If you're between sizes, the 1% Spandex content gives the fabric a small amount of stretch, which can help with fit across the bust and hips.
