FAQs

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from 100% cotton.

How do I adjust the straps?

The dress features adjustable strappy shoulders. You can typically find small sliders or loops near the shoulder seam to lengthen or shorten the straps for a personalized fit.

Is this dress suitable for tall individuals?

This is a petite-fit maxi dress, meaning it is designed for shorter individuals. It may not be long enough for taller frames.

Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?

Yes, the dress is versatile. It can be layered over a fitted t-shirt or a fine knit jumper for added warmth during cooler days.

What kind of footwear pairs well with this dress?

The dress pairs well with block-heeled sandals for a more dressed-up look, or flat leather sandals and a woven tote for a casual daytime ensemble.

How should I care for the dress?

It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, iron on low heat, and tumble dry low or dry flat. Washing dark colors separately is advised.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected.

Refer to the detailed size guide to ensure you have selected the correct UK size. This is a petite fit, so consider if this sizing is appropriate for your height.

Stripe pattern appears misaligned.

Due to the nature of patterned fabric, slight variations may occur. This is normal and part of the garment's unique character. Ensure the garment is laid flat correctly for storage.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat when drying. A cool iron may help soften the fabric.
