Petite - Soutache Scoop-Neck Jacket Dress

How should you care for a lace jacket dress?

The Petite Soutache Jacket Dress is dry clean only, as soutache braid and lace should not be machine washed. Store it hanging with space around the shoulders so the braid is not crushed, and avoid pressing directly on the soutache, which can flatten its raised texture.

Does this dress have any stretch?

The Petite Soutache Jacket Dress is cut without stretch, so it is worth being precise about size rather than relying on give. A non-stretch lace holds its shape and structure beautifully across an evening, which is part of why it reads as tailored rather than relaxed.

Is periwinkle appropriate for a Mother of the Bride?

Periwinkle and other soft blues are frequently chosen by Mothers of the Bride, particularly for spring and summer weddings. The shade is distinctive without being bold, photographs well in daylight, and sits far enough from bridal white to avoid any confusion.

What is the advantage of a mock jacket over a real one?

A mock jacket gives the layered look of a two-piece in a single garment, so there is no second piece to keep track of, no shoulder seam to adjust and no risk of the jacket shifting out of place. It also sits flatter than a real jacket, which suits a petite frame.
