FAQs
What size is the UK 16 equivalent to in other regions?
UK size 16 generally corresponds to a US 12, but we recommend checking the official FatFace size guide for precise measurements.
Is the dress lined?
The dress is designed as a light, floaty piece, so it is recommended to wear appropriate undergarments if you prefer more coverage.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Yes, but it is best to use a cold, delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric.
Does the waist have stretch?
Yes, the shirred bodice provides significant stretch, allowing for a comfortable fit around the torso.
Is the material prone to fading?
To preserve the print, wash the dress inside out and dry it away from direct, harsh sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Shirring feels tight after washing
Gently stretch the fabric while it is still slightly damp and lay it flat to dry to allow the elastic threads to recover their shape.
Fabric appears wrinkled
Use a low-heat steam setting on an iron or a garment steamer held at a distance to remove creases without damaging the delicate print.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Alma Paisley Midi Dress in optimal condition, always check the internal garment label for specific laundering instructions. Typically, light, floaty fabrics like this should be washed on a gentle cycle in cool water to prevent shrinking or damage to the shirring. Avoid high-heat tumble drying; air drying on a hanger is the best way to maintain the shape of the bodice and the drape of the skirt. When styling, the black base color works well with metallic or neutral-toned accessories, allowing the paisley pattern to remain the focal point of your outfit.
