Bias Cut Dresses - FAQ

What is a bias-cut dress?

A bias-cut dress is cut diagonally across the fabric grain, which allows the fabric to drape, stretch and skim the body more fluidly than a straight-cut dress. Our bias-cut dresses use this technique for a soft, figure-flowing silhouette without built-in stretch fabric.

What fabrics are used in Lilly Pilly's bias-cut dresses?

Bias-cut dresses in this collection are made from silk and lightweight linen, fabrics that drape particularly well when cut on the bias for a fluid, elegant fall.

What occasions suit a bias-cut dress?

The soft drape and figure-skimming fit of a bias-cut dress make it a versatile choice for evening events, weddings and warm-weather occasions where you want an elevated, fluid silhouette.

How do your bias cut dresses fit - should I order my usual size?

Yes, our bias-cut dresses are designed to fit true to size. The bias-cut style skims the body rather than clinging, so if you like a little extra room through the hip you may prefer to size up — our size chart has full measurements to help you choose.

How do I care for a bias-cut silk or linen dress?

Hand wash cold or dry clean, depending on the fabric composition listed on the care label, and hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the drape and prevent distortion of the bias-cut seams.

Where on the leg do your bias cut dresses finish?

Our bias-cut dresses typically fall between midi and maxi length, finishing anywhere from mid-calf to ankle depending on the style — check each product page for the specific length.

How do I style bias cut dresses for warm days and for cooler weather?

The fluid drape of a bias-cut dress makes it easy to dress for the weather — wear it alone in warmer months, or layer with a linen or knit cardigan and sandals-to-boots as the seasons cool.

What makes your bias cut dresses worth the investment?

Our bias-cut dresses are cut on the true bias from premium natural fibres like European flax linen and bluesign® certified silk, a technique that takes more fabric and skill than a straight cut but gives a beautifully fluid, flattering drape that lasts.
