ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
What are ponte dresses?
What are ponte dresses?
Ponte dresses are made from the same double-knit ponte fabric used in our ponte pants — stretchy like jersey but structured like a woven. The result is dresses that hold their shape through a full day, don't wrinkle in a suitcase, and machine wash without losing their cut. Three styles in our line: ponte sheath dress, ponte midi, and ponte t-shirt dress.
When should I pick a ponte dress over silk or cotton?
When should I pick a ponte dress over silk or cotton?
Pick ponte for the office and travel — it holds its shape, doesn't wrinkle, and machine washes cleanly. Pick silk for special occasions where drape is the priority. Pick cotton (jersey or knit) for casual day-to-day. Ponte sits in the middle — more structured than cotton jersey, more practical than silk, more office-appropriate than either.
Can a ponte dress be dressed up for evening?
Can a ponte dress be dressed up for evening?
Yes — the ponte sheath dress in black or a deep neutral works for cocktail attire when paired with heels and elevated accessories. The ponte midi dressed up with a structured blazer reads office-evening. For very formal occasions (black-tie, gala), reach for silk or velvet pieces instead.
What size should I order in a ponte dress?
What size should I order in a ponte dress?
Take your usual size. Ponte has natural stretch but the silhouette stays close to the cut size — the fabric doesn't expand significantly with wear. The ponte sheath runs slightly more fitted; the ponte t-shirt dress runs more relaxed. Exact size guides are on each product page.

How do I care for ponte dresses?
Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Skip fabric softener. No ironing needed — ponte doesn't wrinkle. The fabric maintains its color and structure across many wash cycles.
