FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for casual outings, daytime events, brunches, and sunny days. Its relaxed yet chic design makes it versatile for various informal occasions during spring and summer.
How do I determine my correct size?
The dress runs true to size. Please refer to standard women's UK sizing charts for comparable measurements. The shirred back offers some adjustability.
Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?
While designed for warmer weather, you can layer it for cooler days. Pair it with a denim jacket, cardigan, or a light coat, and add tights for extra warmth.
What type of undergarments are best with this dress?
Given the strappy design, seamless or strapless bras are recommended to avoid visible lines. The neckline and back design should accommodate most standard bra types.
How should I store the dress?
Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and minimize creasing. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is the lining made of the same material as the outer fabric?
No, the outer fabric is a blend of Viscose, Cotton, and Linen. The lining is made of 100% Cotton for added comfort against the skin.
How does the fold-over detail affect the fit?
The fold-over detail is a stylistic feature around the neckline and does not significantly impact the overall fit. It adds a visual element to the dress.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing
This is common with linen blends. Try ironing the dress while it is slightly damp on a low heat setting. Alternatively, a quick steam with a garment steamer can also help remove wrinkles.
Fit is not as expected
The dress is designed with a regular fit and runs true to size. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the measurements. The shirred back offers some flexibility, but the primary fit is determined by the listed size.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and appropriate detergent. Using a fabric softener sparingly might help, but always check the care label. Air drying is preferred over machine drying, which can sometimes stiffen natural fibers.
