FAQs

What material is the Broderie Mix Tiered Midi Dress made from?

The dress is crafted from lightweight cotton, making it airy and comfortable for extended wear.

Is the dress lined or is it completely sheer?

The dress features a semi-sheer finish. While it offers some coverage, layering with a slip top or appropriate undergarments is recommended for complete modesty.

How should I care for the broderie anglaise detailing?

Due to its delicate nature, it's best to hand wash in cold water or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag. Air dry flat or hang to preserve the embroidery.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This versatile midi dress is ideal for casual events, daytime gatherings, and can be dressed up for garden parties or relaxed evening occasions depending on your accessories.

Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?

While designed for sunny days, you can extend its wear into cooler weather by layering it with a light cardigan or jacket, and pairing it with closed-toe shoes or boots.

Does the dress have pockets?

Info needed: [The product description does not specify if the dress includes pockets.]

What does 'broderie anglaise' mean?

Broderie anglaise is a type of embroidery characterized by patterns composed of round or oval holes, cut out of the fabric, and then oversewn with stitching. It creates a delicate, decorative, and often lace-like effect.

Troubleshooting

The dress appears too sheer for comfort.

The dress has a semi-sheer finish. Layer it over a slip top or a neutral-colored camisole and cycling shorts for added coverage without compromising the look.

Broderie anglaise detailing seems to be snagging or pulling threads.

Handle the dress with care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. Always wash it in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging on other items in the wash. Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces.

Dress feels stiff or wrinkled after washing.

After washing, gently reshape the dress and air dry it flat or hang it. If wrinkles persist, use a garment steamer or iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric, paying extra attention to the embroidered areas. A light mist of water can also help relax the fibers.

The dress doesn't flow as expected.

Ensure the dress is properly aired and uncreased. The tiered design is meant to create movement, so any stiffness from storage or washing might temporarily reduce this. Steaming can help restore its natural drape and flow.

Care Instructions

To maintain the delicate broderie anglaise and the quality of the cotton fabric:

  • Washing: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate embroidery from snagging.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric and embroidery. Avoid tumble drying.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side or with a pressing cloth, to protect the embroidered details. Do not iron directly on the broderie if possible. Steaming is also an excellent alternative for removing wrinkles gently.
  • Storage: Store on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent stretching or creasing.
