What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted entirely from 100% cotton for both the shell and the lining, ensuring a breathable and comfortable wear.

How should I determine my size?

Please refer to standard UK sizing charts. This particular dress is a UK size 18, designed to fit an adult female of that specific measurement.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

While designed for warm weather, it can be layered with a cardigan or jacket for cooler evenings. However, its primary design is for warmer temperatures.

What type of undergarments are recommended for the backless design?

Due to the backless cut and halterneck, low-back or backless bras and seamless undergarments are typically recommended.

How do I care for the double cloth weave fabric?

Follow the care label instructions precisely. Generally, gentle washing and avoiding high heat will help maintain the integrity and texture of the double cloth weave.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight at the waist.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The structured waistband is designed for a defined fit; consider alterations if minor adjustments are needed.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom. For stubborn wrinkles, consult the care label for ironing instructions, using a low heat setting with a pressing cloth.

Color fading after washing.

Always wash cotton garments in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying; air dry in the shade to preserve color vibrancy.

Halterneck strap feels uncomfortable.

Ensure the dress is fastened correctly. If the strap consistently causes discomfort, consider consulting a tailor for minor strap adjustments if feasible.
