FAQs

What type of cotton is used in the Wild Liquorice Dress?

The dress is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, which is known for its softness, breathability, and sustainable production.

How should I wash the Wild Liquorice Dress?

The dress is machine washable. Please follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label, typically recommending a cool or warm wash cycle.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a midi-length skirt, designed to fall below the knee but above the ankle, though the exact length can vary slightly based on the size.

Is this dress suitable for formal occasions?

While the dress has a classic shirt-dress style, its cotton fabric and relaxed fit lend themselves more towards smart-casual or everyday wear rather than very formal events. It can be dressed up with accessories.

How does the waisted shape fit?

The waisted shape is created using darts and inverted pleats, designed to cinch the waist area for a more defined silhouette. The fit aims to be flattering without being overly restrictive.

Can I wear this dress in different seasons?

Yes, the organic cotton makes it comfortable for warmer weather. In cooler seasons, it can be effectively layered with tights, boots, and cardigans or jackets.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears larger or smaller than expected.

Refer to the brand's specific size chart. Different styles can have slightly different fits. Consider the intended ease of wear when choosing your size.

Cotton fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and detergent. Air drying can sometimes make cotton feel stiffer initially; a gentle tumble dry or ironing may help restore softness.

Button placket is uneven or buttons feel loose.

Check that buttons are securely attached. If they are loose, they can often be tightened with a needle and thread. Ensure the fabric around the buttonholes is not overly stretched.

This dress requires no setup. As a garment, its primary considerations are care and compatibility with your personal style and existing wardrobe.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Follow the care label instructions, typically a cool or warm wash cycle.
