FAQs
What is the primary material used for this dress?
This dress is made from a lightweight, crisp cotton poplin weave.
Does the dress have any stretch?
The shirred bodice offers flexibility and an adjustable fit, but the main body fabric is cotton poplin, which has minimal natural stretch.
Is this dress suitable for formal events?
Yes, its midi length and sophisticated design make it appropriate for garden parties, weddings, and brunches.
How should I clean the dress?
We recommend a cold machine wash and air drying to preserve the fabric and trim details.
Can the straps be adjusted?
Yes, the dress features slim adjustable straps to help you achieve the perfect fit.
What type of accessories go well with this dress?
Gold jewellery works particularly well given the dress's gold-toned accents, alongside wedges or block-heeled sandals.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too loose at the bust
Adjust the slim shoulder straps to raise the bodice height and tighten the side-ties to pull the shirring closer to your frame.
Wrinkles appearing in the poplin fabric
Use a low-heat steam setting on your iron to smooth the cotton poplin without damaging the binding trim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the dress includes adjustable features like side-ties and slim shoulder straps, perform a fitting before your event to ensure the tension is set correctly across the bust. To keep the garment in prime condition, cold machine wash is recommended to protect the cotton weave and the integrity of the contrast binding. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this may shrink the poplin fabric; air drying on a hanger is the best method to prevent deep wrinkles.
