FAQs
What material is the Fern dress made from?
The dress is made from a blend of 53% Linen and 47% Viscose (Lenzing™ Ecovero™).
Is this dress suitable for formal events?
The Fern dress is primarily designed for casual and everyday wear. While it can be styled up for semi-formal occasions, it may not be suitable for very formal events.
How should I wash the dress to maintain its quality?
The dress is machine washable. It's recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors and follow the specific instructions on the care label. Air drying or low heat tumble drying is advised.
What does Lenzing™ Ecovero™ mean for sustainability?
Lenzing Ecovero™ is a sustainable viscose fiber derived from certified renewable wood sources. Its production uses eco-responsible methods, resulting in up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to traditional viscose.
Does the dress run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It's best to consult the White Stuff size guide for the most accurate measurements for UK size 8. The empire seam can affect how the fit feels around the waist.
Can the puff sleeves be altered?
While alterations are possible, modifying the puff sleeves would require professional tailoring and may alter the intended design aesthetic of the dress.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled upon arrival
This is common with linen blends. Hang the dress and steam it, or iron on a medium setting following fabric care guidelines. Washing may also help relax the fabric.
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the specific size chart provided by White Stuff for accurate measurements. Each garment can have slight variations. Consider the fit details like the empire waist and puff sleeves when assessing fit.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Fabric softener can be used sparingly if recommended by the care label. Air drying can sometimes make the fabric feel stiffer initially; gentle ironing or tumbling on low heat can soften it.
