FAQs
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
Like many lightweight materials, it is best to avoid high heat. Always wash in cool water and air dry to maintain the original fit.
Can I wear this for formal events?
The dress is primarily designed for casual and semi-casual settings. With the right accessories, it can be styled for a smart-casual event, but it is not intended for black-tie occasions.
Does the dress have pockets?
The current design does not feature pockets to ensure the silhouette remains sleek and flattering around the hips.
What is the material composition?
The dress is crafted from soft, lightweight materials chosen for breathability and a floaty drape, perfect for warm weather.
How should I choose my size?
The shirred bodice offers some flexibility in fit. Refer to the standard size guide for UK 24 to ensure the shoulders and length align with your personal measurements.
Troubleshooting
Shirred bodice feels too tight or loses tension over time
Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as extreme heat can damage the elasticity in the shirred sections. Wash only in cool water.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting to gently remove creases without crushing the pleated waist detail.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the FatFace Alma Paisley Midi Dress, prioritize gentle care methods. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings, but generally, machine washing on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent is recommended. Hang the dress to air dry to prevent fabric shrinkage and to maintain the integrity of the shirred bodice. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as these can fade the scattered print and the vibrant paisley border. When storing, hanging the dress rather than folding it will help maintain the pleat detail around the waist and keep the skirt free from stubborn wrinkles.
