FAQs
Does this dress require ironing?
No. The fabric is designed with a crinkle texture, so ironing will actually remove the intended look of the garment.
Is the material suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, it is made from cotton, which is a breathable natural fiber that allows for good airflow, making it ideal for summer heat.
How should I pack this for travel?
You can fold or roll the dress tightly; because of the crinkle texture, any compression from packing will not be visible when you wear it.
Are the sizes true to fit?
The dress is designed with an elasticated back to provide an accommodating fit, but always refer to the specific UK size guide to ensure you select the best size for your measurements.
Can I put this dress in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the dress. High heat from a tumble dryer may damage the fabric texture or cause unwanted shrinking.
Troubleshooting
The fabric appears to be losing its crinkle texture.
Avoid ironing the garment. If the texture has been flattened by weight or improper storage, light misting with water and gentle scrunching by hand can help the fabric return to its natural state as it dries.
The dress feels slightly snug at the waist.
The elasticated back is designed to stretch. Ensure the dress is positioned correctly on your frame, aligning the princess seams with your natural torso shape to maximize the provided elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Cotton Traders dress in optimal condition, focus on gentle handling.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors to prevent snagging or color transfer.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended. Avoid aggressive tumble drying, as high heat can alter the integrity of the crinkle fabric.
- Storage: Fold the dress loosely or hang it in a cool, dry place. Because the fabric is intended to have a crinkled appearance, avoid heavy pressing or ironing, as this will flatten the texture and ruin the design intent.
- Compatibility: The dress features a classic round neckline, making it highly compatible with a wide range of necklaces, scarves, or light summer jackets.
