FAQs
What size should I order?
The dress is designed to be 'true to size'. We recommend ordering your usual UK dress size. For specific measurements, refer to the brand's sizing chart if available.
Is this dress suitable for warmer weather?
While its 3/4 sleeves and jersey fabric offer comfort, it is primarily designed for Autumn/Winter. It might be too warm for peak summer but could work for cooler spring or early autumn days.
Can I wear this dress for formal occasions?
Absolutely. By pairing it with elegant heels, sophisticated jewelry, and a chic jacket or wrap, the Abstract Side Ruched Dress can be dressed up for semi-formal events or evening gatherings.
How do I prevent the ruching from losing its shape?
To maintain the ruched detail, always wash on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh squeezing or wringing. Air dry flat or on a padded hanger, and do not tumble dry. If ironing, do so gently on a low setting.
Does the dress wrinkle easily?
The viscose-elastane jersey blend is generally resistant to heavy wrinkling. However, like most fabrics, it can wrinkle if left crumpled. Proper storage on a hanger will minimize creasing.
What is the lining made of?
The dress features a 100% Polyester lining, which provides a smooth feel against the skin and helps the dress drape nicely.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels tighter than expected.
While true to size, body shapes vary. Ensure you've checked the sizing guide if available. The fabric has elastane for stretch, so it should adapt. If still too tight, consider exchanging for the next size up if movement is restricted.
Print appears dull after washing.
Ensure you are washing inside out on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using strong detergents or bleach. Air dry away from direct sunlight. High heat from tumble drying or ironing can also affect print vibrancy.
Fabric feels less soft over time.
Fabric softeners can sometimes build up on jersey materials. Try washing without fabric softener periodically or use a vinegar rinse in the fabric softener dispenser to remove residue. Ensure proper drying to maintain fabric integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Wear
Upon receiving your Abstract Side Ruched Dress, we recommend a gentle wash before its first wear to ensure optimal fabric softness and to remove any potential manufacturing residues.
Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and longevity of your dress, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine washable at a cool temperature. Use a gentle cycle to protect the fabric and print. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry by laying flat or hanging on a padded hanger to prevent stretching and maintain shape. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the elastane fibers and cause shrinkage.
