FAQs

Is this dress suitable for formal evening events?

While elegant, the watercolour floral print and relaxed fabric lend themselves best to daytime formal or semi-formal occasions like weddings, garden parties, or races. For very formal evening events, a different style might be more appropriate.

What type of bra should be worn with the off-the-shoulder neckline?

A strapless bra is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the off-the-shoulder neckline. Ensure it provides adequate support.

Can the length of the dress be altered?

Yes, like most maxi dresses, the hem can be professionally altered to your preferred length. However, be mindful of the petite-specific proportions when considering alterations.

How does the Lyocell and linen blend feel?

The blend offers a soft feel with a natural drape. It is breathable and comfortable, making it suitable for warmer weather.

Are there other sizes available for this specific dress?

This listing is for Size 6. Please check other available listings for different sizes. The product information indicates other sizes are available in the 'Petite Blue Floral Off The Shoulder Shirred Woven Maxi Dress' range.

What is the return policy for this dress?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for information on returns and exchanges.

Does the print vary between dresses?

Each dress features an oversized watercolour floral print. While the pattern elements will be the same, the exact placement of the print may vary slightly from one garment to another due to the nature of fabric printing.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected

This dress is designed with petite proportions. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on standard UK dress sizing. If the issue persists, consider if the petite fit is suitable for your body shape.

Fabric appears creased

Lyocell and linen blends can naturally wrinkle. Try steaming the dress or ironing on a low setting, preferably while slightly damp. Ensure proper hanging after washing.

Colour fading

To prevent colour fading, always wash in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Consider professional dry cleaning for garments with intricate prints.
