Product Information
Full details
The Joules Esme Dress is designed for women who prioritize effortless summer elegance, offering a versatile maxi-length silhouette that works just as well for holiday outings as it does for relaxed weekend days. Its primary benefit lies in the smocked bodice and tiered skirt construction, which provides a flexible, flattering fit that adapts to your movement; however, users should note that the vibrant, patterned design requires careful coordination with accessories to avoid clashing.

FAQs
Is the Joules Esme Dress true to size?
The smocked bodice is designed to be flexible, but it is recommended to follow your standard UK dress size.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is not recommended. Air drying is best to preserve the fabric quality and the integrity of the shirring.
What is the material composition?
The dress is made from breathable fabric suitable for summer, easily maintained through standard machine washing.
Does the V-neckline sit low?
The V-neckline is designed to be flattering and modest, secured with internal binding for a structured fit.
Are there pockets in the skirt?
The design focuses on a streamlined silhouette and does not include pockets.
Is the length suitable for shorter individuals?
As a maxi dress, the length reaches the floor. If it is too long, it can be easily hemmed by a professional tailor without disrupting the tiered aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shirring feels tight after washing
Gently stretch the bodice horizontally while damp to help the elastic fibers relax before air drying.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or allow the dress to hang in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes to release light creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Joules Esme Dress remains in optimal condition, adhere to the following care instructions:
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle on your washing machine with mild detergent. Avoid harsh bleach or whitening agents.
- Drying: Hang the dress to air dry naturally. Avoid excessive heat from tumble dryers, which can degrade the elasticity of the smocked bodice over time.
- Ironing: If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side. Avoid ironing directly over the shirred sections to maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store by hanging in a cool, dry closet. Ensure there is enough space around the tiered skirt to prevent unnecessary wrinkling.
