Product Information
Full details
The POSSE Rue Maxi Dress in Floral Blue, UK size 12, is designed for women seeking an elegant, full-length dress suitable for warm-weather occasions. Its key benefit is a sophisticated silhouette that offers coverage while maintaining a clean, feminine profile. A minor caveat is its fitted cut, which may require careful consideration for those preferring a looser fit. Crafted from a blend of linen and silk with a soft cotton lining, this dress features a floral pattern, a square neckline, thin straps, and decorative seams on the bust, finished with a concealed back zipper.

FAQs
What is the best occasion to wear this dress?
This dress is ideal for semi-formal to formal events in warmer weather, such as garden parties, weddings, luncheons, or evening soirees where an elegant silhouette is desired.
What material is the dress made of?
The dress is made from a blend of linen and silk, with a soft cotton lining for added comfort.
How should I determine my size?
The dress is listed in UK sizing. Please refer to standard UK dress size charts to find your corresponding size. This particular listing is for a UK 12.
Can this dress be altered?
Yes, like most garments, it can be altered by a professional tailor. However, alterations should be considered carefully to maintain the original design and fit, especially around the seams and zipper.
Does the dress have pockets?
The product description does not mention pockets, indicating it likely does not feature them.
Is the floral pattern true to the color blue and cream?
Yes, the description specifies a floral pattern in a blue and cream color palette.
What kind of undergarments are recommended?
Given the square neckline and thin straps, seamless undergarments are recommended. Strapless bras or stick-on options may be suitable depending on personal preference and fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Gently work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of lubricant like graphite pencil lead or wax can be applied to the teeth if needed.
Dress appears creased after storage.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period. For stubborn creases, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric, preferably with a pressing cloth.
Fabric feels rough or loses its sheen.
This can occur with improper cleaning. Adhere strictly to 'dry clean only' instructions. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, the POSSE Rue Maxi Dress requires no setup. Compatibility is based on standard women's sizing (UK 12). Care instructions are crucial for maintaining the fabric's integrity:
- Washing: Dry clean only is recommended to preserve the linen and silk blend.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron setting. Iron the garment inside out to protect the fabric surface and sheen.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Store in a garment bag to protect from dust and light.
