Product Information
Full details
This midi-length dress from Seasalt is designed for adult women seeking a flattering, vintage-inspired A-line silhouette. Its key benefit lies in its cool, breathable 100% linen fabric, garment-dyed for exceptional softness and a unique sun-faded hue. A minor consideration might be its specific 40s-style tailoring, which may not suit all modern preferences. Key features include a V-neck, short sleeves, fabric-covered buttons, side pockets, and a deep waistband with under-bust pleats.

FAQs

The dress is inspired by 1940s shirtwaisters, aiming for a feminine, vintage feel with a flattering fit and a full midi skirt.

Does the dress have pockets?
Yes, the dress features practical side pockets.
Can I put this dress in the washing machine?
Yes, the dress is machine washable. It is recommended to use a gentle cycle with cold water.
How should I dry the dress?
For best results and to maintain the fabric quality, it is recommended to air dry the dress. Avoid using a tumble dryer.
What is the fit of the dress?
The dress has an A-line silhouette with a deep waistband and under-bust pleats, designed for a flattering fit.
Is the color likely to change over time?
The garment-dyeing process creates a unique, sun-faded hue. While intended, consistent washing with similar colors in cold water helps maintain the color.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing.
Linen naturally wrinkles. Try ironing the dress while it is still slightly damp on a low heat setting, or use a garment steamer. Smooth the fabric out by hand after air drying.
Color seems to fade unevenly.
This is often an intended characteristic of the garment-dyed process, creating a unique, sun-faded look. If excessive fading occurs, ensure you are washing according to the care instructions (cold water, gentle cycle).
Dress feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Fabric softener can sometimes help restore softness, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Air drying can sometimes make linen feel stiffer than machine drying, but it preserves the fabric better.
