FAQs
Does this dress require ironing?
No, the dress is made from a crinkle-textured fabric specifically chosen so that it remains looking relaxed and stylish without the need for ironing.
Is the fabric see-through?
The cotton fabric is designed to be substantial enough for daily wear, though individual results may vary based on lighting and base layers.
How should I wash the dress to protect the lace?
Place the dress in a mesh laundry bag before putting it in the washing machine to protect the delicate lace neckline from snagging on other items.
Is this dress suitable for formal events?
The dress features a boho-inspired, casual aesthetic, making it perfect for daytime events, garden parties, or smart-casual outings rather than black-tie formal occasions.
What does 'shirred panel' mean?
A shirred panel refers to a section of fabric gathered with elastic threads, which allows that part of the dress to stretch and provide a custom, comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
The crinkle texture is fading or smoothing out
Avoid over-ironing the fabric. If you must steam it, use a low-heat setting and do not press the iron directly onto the surface.
Fit feels too tight across the back
Ensure the shirred panel is not caught or obstructed by undergarments. The shirring is designed to stretch; check that you have selected the correct UK size for your measurements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Cotton Traders dress remains in top condition, adhere to a gentle care routine. Always check the internal garment care label, but generally, cotton items of this nature should be machine washed in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, which can damage the vibrant floral print and the integrity of the lace detailing. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment on a hanger to preserve the signature crinkle effect; avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can lead to shrinkage and ruin the delicate texture of the fabric. Store the dress hanging up to maintain the shape of the pleats.
