FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed according to standard UK sizing; refer to your usual size for a comfortable, relaxed fit.
Can the sleeves be rolled up?
Yes, the smocked cuffs allow you to push the sleeves up slightly, though they are designed to be worn at the wrist for the intended elegant look.
Is the fabric see-through?
The body of the dress is designed for coverage, while only the sleeves feature a sheer, transparent finish.
What is the best way to iron this dress?
If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent melting the polyester.
Is this dress suitable for outdoor summer weddings?
Yes, its lightweight fabric and flowing silhouette make it an excellent choice for outdoor events where both style and mobility are important.
Troubleshooting
Static cling in the fabric
Lightly mist the inner side of the dress with a fabric anti-static spray or run a wire hanger along the inside surface.
Minor wrinkling from storage
Hang the dress in the bathroom while taking a hot shower; the steam will naturally relax the polyester fibers.
