FAQs

Is the fabric heavy?

It is made of denim, which offers a sturdy, high-quality feel that is still lightweight enough for comfortable movement.

Does the dress have a lining?

The dress is designed for comfort without heavy linings, allowing the fabric to drape gracefully.

How should I clean the floral pattern?

Wash inside out in cold water on a delicate cycle to protect the print and the lace-up details.

Can the sleeves be rolled up?

Yes, the sleeves feature gentle elasticated cuffs that can be pushed up to the elbow for a different look.

Is the lace-up back functional or decorative?

It is functional, allowing for a personalized fit around the bodice area.

Troubleshooting

Lace-up back feels too loose

Unthread the lace slightly and adjust the tension across the back panel before securing it in a double knot.

Fabric wrinkling during transit

Lightly steam the garment or hang it in a bathroom while running a hot shower to let the creases release naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Dorothy Perkins dress retains its form and color, follow these care guidelines. Given the denim material, it is recommended to wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to prevent fading of the floral print. Always air dry to preserve the integrity of the lace-up back components and the elasticated cuffs. When styling, this dress is compatible with a wide range of accessories; keep jewelry minimal to avoid snagging the lace-up back. For the best fit, ensure the lace-up feature is tightened to your comfort level before heading out, as this dictates the overall security of the bodice fit.
