FAQs
Is the fabric see-through?
The poplin weave is designed to be crisp and lightweight, but it is opaque enough for standard wear in warm weather.
Can I adjust the waist size?
Yes, the tie-side detail at the waist allows you to cinch the dress for a more defined, customized fit.
Is this dress suitable for formal events?
The midi length and sophisticated binding details make it appropriate for semi-formal summer occasions like garden parties and weddings.
Does the dress shrink?
As it is made of cotton, it is recommended to wash in cool water and air dry to prevent potential shrinkage.
How do I store the dress?
It is best stored on a hanger to keep the tiered skirt from crushing and to maintain the structure of the bodice.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after storage
Lightly steam the garment or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the poplin fabric.
Straps feel loose or slip
Adjust the buckles on the slim straps to ensure they sit securely against your shoulders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress retains its crisp finish, always check the garment's internal care label before washing. Generally, cotton poplin should be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle to protect the contrast binding trim. Avoid heavy tumble drying; instead, hang the dress to air dry on a sturdy hanger to minimize wrinkles. If ironing is necessary, use a medium heat setting and iron while the fabric is slightly damp to smooth out creases effectively. Because the bodice is shirred, avoid ironing directly over the elasticized sections to prevent loss of elasticity.
