FAQs
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
Linen can shrink if washed or dried in high heat. Always use cool water and air dry to maintain the original fit.
Can I wear this dress to a formal event?
Yes, the elegant embroidery and sophisticated cut make it suitable for semi-formal summer events, particularly when paired with appropriate accessories.
Does the dress have a lining?
The dress features a two-layered silhouette which provides structure and coverage, though it is primarily designed for warm-weather lightness.
How do I secure the back closure?
The dress includes a button closure at the nape of the neck which is easy to fasten independently.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The side pockets are designed for small essentials, but may be too shallow to securely hold large smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn wrinkles after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron while the fabric is slightly damp to smooth out wrinkles effectively.
Fabric appears slightly sheer
Consider wearing a nude-colored slip or seamless skin-tone undergarments to maintain complete opacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your linen garment looking its best, always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions. Generally, high-quality linen benefits from a gentle machine wash or hand wash in cool water. To minimize heavy creasing—a common characteristic of linen—hang the dress to dry immediately after washing. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can weaken the fibers and cause shrinkage. When storing, keep the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the drape of the two-layered silhouette. Because of the subtle open-back design, it is recommended to use adhesive bras or backless-friendly undergarments to ensure a clean aesthetic.
