FAQs
Is this dress suitable for taller individuals?
This specific model is designed for a petite frame, meaning the length and torso proportions are scaled for shorter heights.
What type of bra works best with this dress?
The dress is designed with bra-friendly straps, so a standard shoulder-strap bra or a strapless bra will work perfectly.
Does the dress have stretch?
Being made from linen, it does not have significant stretch. The slim fit relies on the tailored cut rather than elastic fabric.
Can this be machine washed?
We recommend a gentle, cold-water machine cycle, but checking the specific care label attached to the garment is always the safest option.
Is the fabric see-through?
The dress is lightly lined, which helps provide coverage and modesty while maintaining the light, airy feel of the linen.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles in the linen
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or iron while slightly damp to smooth out deep creases.
Zip feels difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut away from the zipper teeth and gently rub a pencil lead or wax along the teeth to provide lubrication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Connie Shift Mini Dress in peak condition, always check the interior garment label for specific washing instructions. Given the linen material, it is generally recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle in cool water. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking; instead, lay the garment flat or hang it to dry. If wrinkles persist after drying, a light steam or a low-temperature iron setting will smooth the fabric without damaging the fibers. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the square neckline and ensure it remains ready for your next wear.
