FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed as a standard UK size 18 with a relaxed, flowing fit typical of a maxi style.
Can this be worn with a standard bra?
Because of the off-the-shoulder Bardot style, a strapless bra is recommended for a seamless look.
Is the material prone to see-through?
No, the dress is fully lined to provide necessary coverage while maintaining the lightness of the broderie fabric.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is not recommended. Air drying is the safest method to preserve the integrity of the cotton and the delicate broderie stitching.
Is the red color prone to fading?
Wash the dress inside out in cold water to help maintain the vibrancy of the red fabric over time.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after packing
Use a garment steamer on a low setting to gently release wrinkles without damaging the broderie texture.
Neckline ruffle sits awkwardly
Adjust the elasticated band at the shoulders to ensure even distribution of the ruffle around your upper arms.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Flattering tiered maxi length
- Versatile for both casual and semi-formal events
- Fully lined for added comfort and coverage
Cons
- Delicate fabric prone to snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the dress in top condition, we recommend a gentle machine wash cycle with like colors. Because broderie fabric is delicate, avoid using harsh detergents or bleaching agents. For best results, hang the dress to air dry to prevent shrinkage of the cotton fibers. When styling, this piece pairs exceptionally well with neutral accessories like woven bags or straw hats to ground the bold red hue. For footwear, espadrilles or leather sandals offer a polished finish suitable for daytime wear.
