FAQs

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is versatile and can be worn for various occasions, from casual outings and brunches to semi-formal events and parties, depending on how you style it.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart and consider taking your measurements (bust, waist, hips) to compare. For this size 18 dress, ensure your measurements align with the Finery London sizing guide.

Can the long sleeves be rolled up?

The long sleeves feature matching cuff details. While you can push them up, they are designed to be worn as full-length sleeves for a polished look.

What type of undergarments are best with this dress?

A seamless bra is recommended, especially if the fabric is lightweight. For the shirred bodice, a standard bra should work well without issue.

How should I store this dress?

Hang the dress on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent creasing and color fading.

Is the floral pattern the same on all sizes?

Generally, the print placement remains consistent, but slight variations can occur due to the cutting and sewing process for different sizes.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Ensure you are ironing on a low heat setting and consider ironing while slightly damp or using a pressing cloth.

Shirring has lost its elasticity

This may indicate improper washing or drying methods. Avoid high heat in washing or drying, and opt for gentle cycles.

Wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged sun exposure when drying.
