FAQs
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
As it is made from cotton, we recommend washing at cool temperatures to minimize the risk of shrinkage.
Can I wear this for work?
The Tilly Dress is designed for casual wear, though it can be styled appropriately for a smart-casual office environment.
What is the length of the dress?
The Tilly is a midi-length dress, meaning it typically falls below the knee.
Is the cotton fabric stretchy?
While the cotton itself has a natural drape, the main adjustability comes from the elasticated waist rather than the fabric being highly elastic.
Is this based on any other Seasalt shapes?
Yes, it is effectively a woven, casual version of the brand's bestselling Veronica shape.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Lightly mist with water or use a garment steamer to release wrinkles without damaging the cotton.
Elastic waist feels too tight or loose
Ensure the waist sits at your natural waistline and avoid tucking heavy items into the waistband which may stretch the elastic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed for immediate wear. To ensure the longevity of your Tilly Dress, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle to protect the cotton fibers.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.

- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the bodice and prevent stretching the elasticated waist.
