FAQs
Does the dress have any stretch?
The dress features shirring at the back waist to provide a flexible and accommodating fit, though the main cotton fabric does not have significant stretch.
Can the dress be machine washed?
While the dress is made of cotton, the delicate embroidery suggests using a gentle, cold wash cycle inside a laundry bag to preserve the garment.
Is the button-through front functional?
Yes, the button-through front is functional, allowing for easier dressing and styling versatility.
What is the length of the dress?
The Aoife is a midi-length dress, typically falling below the knee and above the ankle depending on individual height.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The side pockets are designed for small essentials, though they are best suited for light items to maintain the dress's silhouette.
How should I store this dress?
It is best stored on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves and prevent shoulder creases.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in cotton fabric
Lightly steam the dress or use a warm iron with a protective cloth between the iron and the fabric.
Elasticated cuffs feeling too tight
Ensure the sleeves are pulled comfortably above the elbow or adjust the positioning to allow for better circulation.
Minor loose threads on embroidery
Use sharp embroidery scissors to carefully trim any stray threads, ensuring you do not pull or tug on the main stitching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Aoife Dress, always refer to the internal care label before cleaning. Due to the delicate floral embroidery, it is recommended to wash the garment on a cold, delicate cycle or consider professional dry cleaning to protect the thread work. When ironing, use a low-to-medium heat setting and consider using a pressing cloth to avoid direct heat contact with the embroidery. Store the dress hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent the cotton fabric from wrinkling unnecessarily.
