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.
