Can I tumble dry this dress?

How do I ensure the shirring stays in shape?

Troubleshooting
Dress length feels too long
Consider wearing wedges or a small heel, or consult a local tailor to hem the skirt to your specific height preference.
Shirring feels tight after washing
Gently stretch the elastic area while the fabric is slightly damp or iron on a low setting using steam to relax the fibers.
Cotton fabric looks wrinkled
Use a standard steam iron on a low-to-medium heat setting, or use a handheld garment steamer for quick touch-ups before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, setup is minimal—simply ensure you have selected your correct size from the range of UK 8 through 18. The dress is machine washable, but to preserve the integrity of the shirred elastic, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle. For best results, hang dry the dress to prevent shrinkage and keep the cotton crisp. To maintain the shape of the midi length, ensure you store it on a hanger rather than folded in a drawer to avoid deep creases in the fabric.
