FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
Yes, the shirred bodice provides a forgiving and comfortable fit, but it is recommended to follow the standard UK sizing guide provided by FatFace.
Does the material have any stretch?
The stretch is primarily located in the shirred bodice area; the skirt portion is generally non-stretch for a flowing silhouette.
Can I put this dress in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended to tumble dry as heat can damage the elastic in the bodice and shrink natural fibers like linen or cotton.
Is the dress suitable for maternity wear?
The shirred bodice is quite accommodating, which many find suitable for early-to-mid pregnancy, though it depends on individual fit preferences.
Are there pockets in this dress?
This model focuses on a streamlined silhouette and generally does not feature pockets.
Troubleshooting
Shirring feels tight or stretched out
Ensure you are washing on a cool, delicate cycle; high heat can degrade the elastic thread over time.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Lightly steam the garment or use a low-heat iron to gently smooth the linen or cotton fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your dress in optimal condition, always check the internal garment tag to identify the specific material composition, as some variants use linen while others use cotton. For cleaning, machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild detergent to protect the integrity of the shirring. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can shrink the fabric or damage the elastic threads in the bodice. Hang-drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's natural drape. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting and iron while the fabric is slightly damp to remove wrinkles efficiently.
