FAQs
Is this dress suitable for taller individuals?
This dress is specifically cut for petite frames; taller individuals may find the hem length and torso proportions shorter than desired.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The dress is crafted from linen, which is a natural woven fiber with little to no built-in stretch.
Is the dress see-through?
The dress includes a light lining to provide comfort and opacity, though it is always recommended to wear skin-toned undergarments with light-colored linen.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
We recommend avoiding the tumble dryer, as high heat can cause the linen to shrink and set deep creases in the fabric.
What kind of bra should I wear with this?
The straps are designed to be bra-friendly, meaning most standard shoulder-strap bras should sit well underneath without being visible.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears excessively wrinkled
Lightly mist the dress with water and use a low-heat steam setting to gently relax the linen fibers.
The fit feels too tight around the waist or hips
The Connie shift is a slim-fit cut; if you prefer a looser drape, consider sizing up as linen does not possess natural elastane stretch.
Visible lines or bunching at the zipper
Ensure the garment is fully zipped before wear; if it pulls, the garment may be undersized for your current frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the linen fabric and the shape of the shift silhouette, it is recommended to follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cool water to prevent the linen from shrinking.
- Drying: Air dry the garment on a flat surface or a hanger to avoid excessive wrinkling from a tumble dryer.
- Ironing: Steam the dress or use a low-heat iron while slightly damp to remove natural creases inherent to linen.
- Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the structure of the square neckline and prevent distortion of the straps.
