Full details

The Seasalt Cornwall Carved Wood Dress is designed for adult women seeking a blend of vintage style and modern comfort. Its key benefit is a flattering, feminine silhouette crafted from soft, breathable linen. A potential caveat to consider is that garment-dying can result in slight variations in hue.

The 100% linen fabric is garment-dyed for a uniquely soft feel and a sun-faded appearance, offering both style and ease of wear.

FAQs

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from 100% linen.

Is the dress machine washable?

Yes, the dress is machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, the dress features convenient side pockets.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length.

What does 'garment-dyed' mean for this dress?

Garment-dyeing means the fabric is dyed after the garment is constructed. This process results in a softer feel and a unique, often slightly faded or varied hue.

How should I care for the linen fabric to prevent excessive creasing?

While linen naturally creases, you can minimize it by ironing while the dress is slightly damp and by hanging it to dry. Embracing a few wrinkles is also part of linen's natural charm.

What is the style inspiration for this dress?

The dress is inspired by 1940s shirtwaisters, featuring a flattering fit and a full skirt for a vintage feel.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears creased after washing.

Iron the dress while it is still slightly damp on a medium heat setting. Alternatively, use a steam iron. Linen is naturally prone to creasing, which can contribute to its textured charm.

Color seems slightly different from the image online.

This is expected due to the garment-dyeing process, which creates unique, sun-faded hues. Slight variations contribute to the individual character of each dress.

Dress feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle washing cycle and consider using a fabric softener on a subsequent wash if desired. The fabric should soften further with wear and subsequent washes.
