FAQs
What is a knit dress, and how is it different from other dress types?
Women’s knit dresses are crafted from stretch-infused fabrics like cotton and viscose, offering both structure and feminine softness. Unlike woven dresses, which tend to be more rigid, knit dresses contour gently to your shape for a more fluid, comfortable fit. The texture of knitwear also adds depth and dimension, making it feel elevated yet easy to wear.
Are knit dresses for women suitable for both casual and formal occasions?
Absolutely. Knit dresses are that rare combination of effortless and refined. For weekend coffee runs, throw one on with flats and a tote. Heading to dinner? Add heels, a belt and a pair of gold hoops or a delicate pendant necklace. With the right bags, shoes and jewellery, knitwear can go from easy daytime dressing to a polished evening look.
What body types do knit dresses flatter the most?
Knit dresses are made to embrace the female form — softly, not tightly. Their natural stretch flatters curves, while structured ribbing adds shape and definition. Whether you love a cinched waist or a more relaxed silhouette, there’s a women’s knit dress that complements every figure beautifully.
What fabrics are used in women’s knit dresses?
Our knit dresses are designed in a range of premium wool blends and soft, stretch-infused yarns, a blend of cotton or viscose or nylon. Think cosy without the bulk, breathable without sacrificing warmth. These carefully chosen fabrics create an elegant drape and a gentle hold, allowing every piece to feel as good as it looks.
Can knit dresses be worn year-round?
Yes, that’s what makes them foundational wardrobe staples. In spring, go for lighter knits with fresh sneakers or slides. When cooler months arrive, reach for chunky knit dresses for winters, layered with a longline coat, scarf and tall boots. These dresses adapt to the seasons, so all you have to do is switch the styling and play with accessories.
Are your knit dresses machine washable?
Most of our women’s knit dresses are not machine washable and are best cared for by gently hand washing in cold water. To maintain the shape and quality of your knit dress, we recommend following these care instructions:
- Wash separately to prevent colour transfer
- Do not soak or rub the fabric
- Avoid wringing to protect the fibres
- Gently pull into shape after washing
- Dry flat in its natural shape to prevent stretching
- Do not tumble dry
- Use a warm iron if needed to remove creases
Always refer to the individual care label on your dress, as specific fabric blends may vary slightly in care requirements.
