FAQs
Is the fabric machine washable?
While many linen garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, please refer to the specific care label attached to your garment for the manufacturer's recommendation.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
The wide straps are designed to provide good coverage, making it easy to pair with most standard or strapless bras.
Does the dress have pockets?
This design focuses on a minimalist, streamlined silhouette and does not feature pockets.
How should I store this dress?
Hang the dress on a wide, padded, or contoured hanger to ensure the straps keep their shape and the bodice remains structured.
Is the fabric sheer?
The linen fabric used is chosen for its quality and opacity, providing reliable coverage for daytime and evening wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles appearing during wear
Lightly mist the wrinkled area with water and gently smooth with your hand, or use a handheld fabric steamer.
Side zipper feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth; if it remains stiff, apply a tiny amount of dry candle wax or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth to lubricate them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its shape and quality, follow these care guidelines. Always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Due to the linen material, it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle or hand wash to prevent unnecessary stress on the fibers. Avoid harsh tumble drying; instead, hang the dress to air dry naturally. If ironing is required to smooth out wrinkles, use a medium heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp, or use a fabric steamer for a gentler finish. Store the dress on a high-quality hanger to maintain the structure of the straps and bodice.
