FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing. Given the swing silhouette, it is designed for a relaxed, loose fit.
Can I wear this in the autumn?
It is primarily a warm-weather garment, but it can be styled with tights and a cardigan for transitional weather.
Does the material have any stretch?
As the garment is made from cotton, it does not have natural stretch. The swing silhouette provides comfort through its cut rather than elastic fabric.
How do I wash the broderie anglaise?
Wash inside out on a delicate cycle using a mesh laundry bag to prevent the embroidery from snagging on other items.
Is the dress lined?
The dress is designed with a lightweight cotton finish, though wearing skin-tone undergarments is recommended due to the intricate cut-work.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer to gently smooth out the cotton fabric without crushing the broderie anglaise details.
Small snag in the embroidery
Use a small pair of fabric scissors to trim the loose thread carefully; do not pull the thread, as this can unravel the floral pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is made from 100% cotton with intricate embroidery, proper care is essential to preserve its longevity. We recommend washing this dress on a gentle, cold cycle to prevent shrinking and to keep the floral broderie detail from snagging. Avoid tumble drying on high heat; instead, line dry in the shade to maintain the vibrancy of the blue colour. If the fabric becomes wrinkled, use a cool iron or a garment steamer specifically on the non-embroidered sections to ensure the fabric stays crisp. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the swing silhouette.
