FAQs

Is the fabric prone to shrinking?

As the dress is made of cotton, it is recommended to wash in cool water and air dry to minimize the risk of shrinkage.

Can I wear this to a formal event?

The Caparica dress is best suited for casual to semi-casual settings due to its lightweight cotton construction and relaxed floral pattern.

Does the dress have pockets?

The current design does not feature pockets; it focuses on a clean, streamlined silhouette.

What is the best way to store the puff sleeves?

Hang the dress in a well-ventilated space so the sleeves do not get crushed against other clothes in your closet.

Is the material see-through?

The cotton fabric is designed to be lightweight but generally provides sufficient coverage for standard outdoor daytime wear.

How do I determine my size?

The dress comes in standard UK women's sizing; we recommend checking your measurements against the Regatta size chart for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Lightly mist the fabric with water or use a garment steamer to release wrinkles without high heat.

Puff sleeves losing shape

Gently reshape the sleeves by hand after washing and let them air dry completely without compression.

Elasticated waist feels too loose or tight

Since the waist is elasticated for a 'one-size-fits-most' feel, ensure you are wearing the correct UK dress size to maximize the fit efficacy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Caparica dress maintains its fit and color quality, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water to prevent the floral patterns from fading.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to avoid shrinking the cotton fibers or damaging the elastic in the sleeves and back waist.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary to remove wrinkles, paying attention to avoid the elasticated areas.
  4. Storage: Hang the dress using wide-shouldered hangers to keep the puff sleeves from losing their volume and to prevent excessive creasing.
  5. Compatibility: This garment pairs best with lightweight summer footwear like canvas sneakers, flat sandals, or espadrilles.
