FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The Phase Eight Carey Dress is designed to standard UK sizing specifications; however, due to the puffed sleeves, those with broader shoulders may prefer to check the size guide measurements.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is not recommended. Machine drying can damage the textured pattern and the shape of the puffed sleeves. Air drying is the safest method.
Does the zipper cause the neckline to sit differently?
Yes, the zip-front allows you to adjust the depth of the neckline to suit your personal style or the requirements of the occasion.
Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?
The polyester construction is generally wrinkle-resistant, making it a great option for packing in a suitcase.
What is the best way to store the dress?
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the volume of the puffed sleeves.
Troubleshooting
Zip front feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider rubbing a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip onto the teeth to lubricate them.
Static cling while wearing.
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with water or a dedicated anti-static spray before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Phase Eight Carey dress, always follow the garment's specific care instructions. Being composed of durable polyester, the dress is machine washable; however, it is highly recommended to use the delicate cycle to preserve the texture and sleeve structure. Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the zip-front hardware and the textured surface. For drying, air-drying on a hanger is preferred to prevent heat damage to the fabric fibers. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the dress to protect the synthetic material.
