FAQs
What material is the dress made of?
Please refer to the internal care label on your specific garment, as fabric compositions can vary by production batch.
Is this dress machine washable?
While many synthetic blends are machine washable, we recommend a cold, gentle cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the button details.
Does the dress run true to size?
Yes, it follows standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit around the waist, some users suggest sizing up, though the pleats are designed to be flattering in your standard size.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Certainly. The midi length pairs perfectly with knee-high boots and a trench coat or tailored blazer for colder weather.
Are the buttons functional or decorative?
The buttons are primarily decorative, meant to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the bodice.
Troubleshooting
Dress arrived wrinkled from shipping
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to allow creases to relax naturally.
Puff sleeves appear deflated
Gently fluff the fabric at the shoulder seam and ensure the dress is hung on a hanger that supports the shoulder width properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dorothy Perkins dress stays in pristine condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always check the inner garment label for specific washing instructions, typically recommending a gentle cycle or hand wash to protect the pleats and buttons.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent the puff sleeves from losing their shape.
- Ironing: If needed, use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer to remove creases, taking care to avoid pressing directly over the buttons.
- Sizing: The dress is available in UK sizes 8 through 18. Ensure you check the fit for your specific frame, as the pleated style may offer a different drape than fitted silhouettes.
