FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

The dress is designed as standard sizing; please refer to the UK sizing guide for the best fit.

Can I wear this in the winter?

While intended for warm-weather, you can layer the dress with a denim jacket or a light cardigan for transitional weather.

Does the fabric have stretch?

As the dress is made from cotton, it does not typically feature significant synthetic stretch; it is designed for a tailored fit.

What length does the skirt hit?

The skirt is a midi length, designed to hit just above the ankle.

Is the material machine washable?

Yes, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle using cold water.

Troubleshooting

Puff sleeves appear flat after washing

Gently shake the sleeves or steam them lightly while hanging to restore the volume.

Wrinkling of the cotton fabric

Lightly mist the wrinkled area with water and iron at a medium setting while slightly damp.

Tie-front feels loose

Re-adjust the knot at the center chest, ensuring the fabric is gathered evenly before tying securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your dress maintains its structure, follow these care steps:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water to preserve the fabric's integrity.
  2. Drying: Air dry on a hanger to keep the tiered hem and puff sleeves in their intended shape.
  3. Ironing: Use a medium-heat iron to remove creases, particularly around the ruched tie-front area.
  4. Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry place to prevent the puff sleeves from flattening.
