FAQs

Is the fabric see-through?

The Perissa Dress is made from cotton poplin, which is generally opaque, though lighter colors may require nude-colored undergarments.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Yes, it is machine washable; however, please follow the care label instructions to prevent shrinkage or damage to the elasticated shirring.

Does the dress have a zipper?

No, the design relies on the stretch of the shirred back bodice for easy pulling on and off, eliminating the need for complex closures.

Is the material stretchy?

The main fabric is cotton poplin, which has little natural stretch, but the shirred back panel is highly elastic to ensure a custom, comfortable fit.

What is the length of this dress?

The Perissa is a midi-length dress, meaning it typically falls between the knee and the ankle, depending on the wearer's height.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the spaghetti strap length using the built-in sliders until you achieve the desired tension across the shoulders.

Visible wrinkles after washing

Use a garment steamer or a cool iron to gently press the cotton poplin, focusing on the skirt tiers.

Fabric feels stiff after drying

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and consider using a small amount of fabric softener; avoid high heat drying which can make cotton fibers brittle.

Pros and Cons

  • Adjustable straps ensure a versatile and secure fit
  • Hidden pockets enhance daily practicality
  • Flowing silhouette provides a comfortable and relaxed style
  • Natural cotton material feels soft against the skin

Cons

  • Cotton poplin may wrinkle easily and require ironing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the dress for your ideal fit involves adjusting the spaghetti straps until the bodice sits comfortably against your chest. Due to the shirred back, the dress should feel snug but not tight.

For care, it is recommended to follow the garment's internal tag instructions. Generally, as a cotton garment, it should be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle. To preserve the longevity of the shirring and the integrity of the fabric, avoid high-heat tumble drying. If the dress appears wrinkled after washing, a low-temperature steam iron will restore the crisp finish of the cotton poplin.
