Product Information
Full details
The Cotton Traders Printed Crinkle Knee Length Dress is designed for women who appreciate effortless summer style that combines comfort with a touch of bohemian elegance. Ideal for casual outings, garden parties, or holiday travel, the dress offers a breathable linen-blend feel and a flattering silhouette that doesn't require constant ironing. One caveat to keep in mind is that the crinkle-textured fabric is an intentional aesthetic design choice, so users seeking a crisp, structured look might find the texture less formal than traditional flat-weave garments.

FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
This model is a UK 14. We recommend checking the official Cotton Traders size guide for exact measurements of the bust and waist to ensure the best fit.
Does the crinkle fabric lose its texture after washing?
The fabric is designed to retain its crinkle finish. To preserve it, air dry the dress rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer.
Can I iron this dress?
It is not recommended to iron this dress, as heat will remove the intentional crinkle texture. If wrinkled, try hanging it in a humid room.
Are the buttons functional?
No, the buttons are decorative mock mother-of-pearl accents and cannot be unfastened.
What is the material composition?
The dress is made from a linen-blend fabric, chosen for its breathability and light weight.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too loose or too tight in the bodice
The shirred back panel is designed to provide some tension adjustment; ensure the back is smoothed out and not bunched to allow the elastic to sit flat against your skin.
Decorative buttons appear loose
Since these are mock buttons, check the stitching around the base; if a thread has pulled, use a simple needle and thread to reinforce the anchor point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a garment, 'setup' is limited to finding the right accessories. The dress works best with neutral-toned footwear to complement the blue print. For care, it is recommended to follow the garment's internal tag instructions. Due to the crinkle texture, avoid heavy ironing or high-heat pressing, as this may flatten the desired texture of the fabric. If the garment requires freshening, a light shake and hanging it in a steamy bathroom often helps the fibers relax without losing the characteristic crinkle. Always wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh bag to protect the lace neckline and decorative buttons.
