Product Information

Full details

This Mountain Warehouse Orchid Patterned UV Dress is designed for adult women seeking comfort and sun protection during warm weather activities. Its key benefit is the UPF50+ fabric that shields you from harmful UV rays, making it ideal for holidays or casual outings. A potential consideration is that while it offers UPF50+, it's made from a cotton blend, which might retain moisture more than purely synthetic fabrics in very humid conditions. Key features include its lightweight, breathable cotton-viscose blend, UPF50+ sun protection, and two convenient side pockets.

FAQs

What is UPF50+?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF50+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection.

What is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a blend of 50% viscose and 50% cotton.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, it features two convenient side pockets on the skirt.

Is this dress suitable for very hot and humid weather?

The dress is lightweight and breathable, making it comfortable for warm weather. However, the cotton blend may feel warmer than synthetic materials in extremely high humidity.

How should I wash the dress to maintain its UPF rating?

Wash on a low temperature (around 30°C), do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid dry cleaning.

Can I wear this dress for swimming?

While the fabric offers UPF50+ protection, the dress is designed as casual wear and not specifically for prolonged immersion in water or strenuous water sports. Its primary benefit is sun protection during dry activities.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific product guide entry focuses on the Blue, Size 16 variant. The Orchid Patterned UV Dress is available in other sizes and colors as indicated by variant siblings.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels slightly stiff after washing.

Ensure you are following the low-temperature wash and low-heat tumble dry settings. Avoid harsh detergents.

Wrinkles from packing are prominent.

Iron the dress on a low setting. For best results, iron while slightly damp or use a steam iron.

The UPF protection seems less effective.

Ensure the garment has not been excessively worn or washed with abrasive materials that could damage the fabric's protective treatment. Check care label for correct washing procedures.
