FAQs

What is the best way to wash this linen dress?

It is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. For best results, air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

How does the sizing run for this dress?

The dress is described as having a flattering fit, inspired by 40s tailoring. Refer to the brand's specific size guide to ensure the best fit, as vintage-inspired cuts can sometimes differ from modern sizing.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

While the linen fabric is best suited for warmer weather due to its breathability, it can be layered with a cardigan, jacket, or tights for cooler days or evenings.

Are the side pockets functional?

Yes, the product description explicitly mentions 'Side pockets', indicating they are functional for carrying small items.

What does 'garment-dyed' mean for the color?

Garment-dying means the fabric or finished garment is dyed after it's made. This process often results in a softer feel and a unique, slightly faded or vintage appearance, with potential for subtle color variations between items.

What type of neckline does the dress have?

The dress features a V-neckline.

What is the material of the dress?

The dress is made from 100% Linen.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled

Linen is naturally prone to wrinkling. Try ironing the dress while it is slightly damp, or use a steamer. Consider embracing the natural texture of linen for a relaxed look.

Color variation from expected

The garment-dyeing process creates unique color variations. This is an intended feature of the dress, contributing to its vintage appeal. Slight differences in hue are normal.

Dress feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Fabric softener can help restore softness. Air drying or low tumble drying can also help maintain fabric feel.
