FAQs
Is the fabric stretchy?
This dress is made from a woven fabric, which typically offers minimal stretch compared to jersey or knit materials.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, you can transition this dress into colder seasons by layering it with a tailored blazer or a structured coat.
How do I choose the right size?
This guide covers UK size 16. We recommend referring to the Dorothy Perkins standard size chart to ensure the best fit for your measurements.
What shoes pair best with the midi length?
Ballet flats provide a relaxed, chic look, while block heels are recommended for formal occasions to add height and structure.
Does the V-neckline reveal too much?
The V-neck is designed with delicate frill detailing to remain feminine yet modest for various occasions.
Troubleshooting
Dress looks wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes to allow the wrinkles to release naturally.
Frill detail appears flat after washing
Gently shake the fabric while damp and use your fingers to reshape the ruffles and cuffs before letting it air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your dress in pristine condition, always check the garment's internal care label for specific washing instructions. Given the woven construction, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash to preserve the delicate frills and gathered cuffs. Avoid high-heat drying, which can damage the fabric fibers; instead, hang the dress to dry in a shaded area. If the fabric becomes wrinkled, use a low-heat setting on your iron or a handheld steamer to gently smooth out the tiered sections without pressing directly on the decorative frill details.
