FAQs

Is the fabric stretchy?

No, the Aoife Dress is made from cotton, which typically lacks natural stretch. It is recommended to choose your size based on the provided measurement guidelines.

Does the dress have a lining?

The design focuses on a breathable, single-layer cotton feel. If you prefer more opacity, consider wearing a nude-colored slip underneath.

Can I tumble dry this dress?

It is not recommended to tumble dry as it may cause shrinkage or damage the floral embroidery details. Always air dry on a hanger.

What is the best way to clean the embroidery?

Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the embroidery from friction against the drum of the machine, or choose to hand wash for maximum longevity.

Is this dress suitable for petite frames?

The midi length and empire waist are generally flattering across various heights, though you may wish to check the specific midi-length measurement against your preferred hemline position.

Troubleshooting

Use a handheld steamer to gently release creases from the cotton fibers without damaging the delicate embroidery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the Aoife Dress in optimal condition, treat it as a garment requiring gentle maintenance. Since it is constructed from cotton, ensure you follow the care label instructions, typically suggesting a cold delicate machine wash or hand wash to prevent the floral embroidery from fraying. Always hang the dress to dry to avoid shrinkage. Because of the button-through construction, ensure all buttons are fastened before washing to prevent snagging. When ironing, use a low-to-medium heat setting and consider using a pressing cloth over the embroidered sections to protect the threadwork from excessive heat.
