Full details
This Long Tall Sally Gingham Cotton Maxi Dress is designed for women 5'8" and above seeking a stylish, comfortable, and versatile day-to-evening dress. Its key benefit is the maxi length specifically tailored for taller frames, offering a flattering silhouette. A potential consideration is that while the cotton is breathable, it may require ironing to maintain a crisp appearance due to its natural fibers. This dress features a tiered design for graceful movement, a shirred waist for a defined shape, and classic button fastenings, all presented in a charming, versatile gingham print.

FAQs
Is this dress suitable for petite frames?
No, this dress is specifically designed for women 5'8" and taller. The maxi length is cut to flatter taller figures.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from a soft and breathable 100% cotton fabric.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart, paying close attention to measurements like bust, waist, and hip, as well as height recommendations for the maxi length.

Follow the general care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low or hang dry. The gingham pattern is woven into the fabric and should maintain its appearance with proper care.

Dress appears wrinkled after washing.
Iron on a medium heat setting or use a garment steamer. Ensure the dress is slightly damp before ironing for best results. Avoid over-drying in the machine.

Wash with similar colors in cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Line drying in the shade can also help preserve the color.
