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.

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.

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.
