FAQs

What material is this dress made of?

The dress is made from 100% organic cotton slub, which gives it a soft, lightweight, and breathable feel.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide, paying attention to measurements for bust, waist, and hips. The waisted fit means considering your natural waist measurement is important.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the breathable organic cotton slub fabric makes it suitable for warmer weather.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes, the two patch pockets are functional and can be used to carry small items.

What type of neckline does the dress have?

The dress features a V-neckline.

How should I best care for the dress to maintain its quality?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors in cool water. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry, and iron on a medium heat setting, preferably inside out.

Can this dress be altered easily?

Yes, cotton garments can generally be altered by a tailor. The gathered waist and midi length offer some flexibility for adjustments.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes make cotton slub less defined. Try ironing while slightly damp on a medium heat setting.

Colors appear to be fading

Wash inside out in cold water and with similar colors. Reduce the spin speed on your washing machine and consider air-drying instead of tumble drying, as high heat can accelerate fading.

Wrinkles are difficult to remove

Try ironing the dress on a medium heat setting while it is still slightly damp. For stubborn creases, a light spray of water or a garment steamer can be effective.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Washable: Wash at a cool temperature (typically 30°C or 40°C) on a gentle cycle.
  • Wash with Similar Colors: To prevent color bleeding, especially with the multicolor pattern, wash with like colors.
  • Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach, as it can damage the fabric and affect the colors.
  • Tumble Dry Low: If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting.
  • Iron on Medium Heat: Iron the dress on a medium setting, preferably while slightly damp, to smooth out any wrinkles. It is often recommended to iron inside out.
  • Dry Cleanable: While machine washable, dry cleaning is also an option for maintaining the fabric's quality.
