FAQs
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
As it is made from cotton, it is recommended to wash in cool water and avoid high-heat drying to prevent shrinkage.
Does the dress have a lining?
The Cara Dress is crafted from a high-quality embroidered cotton which provides sufficient coverage, though personal preference for undergarments may vary.
How should I measure to ensure the right fit?
The dress uses standard UK sizing. Focus on the fit of the bodice, as the shirred back provides flexibility for various bust sizes.
Can I wear this dress to a formal event?
Its floral embroidery and tiered design give it a smart-casual appeal; it is perfect for daytime events, summer weddings, or outdoor gatherings.
How deep are the pockets?
The side pockets are designed to be practical enough for small items like a phone or keys while remaining discreet when not in use.
What is the total length of the dress?
The total length of the dress is 128cm, which typically falls to a midi length on most individuals.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure the dress is fully relaxed and no fabric is caught in the zipper track; use a small amount of clear candle wax on the teeth if it remains sticky.
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Use a handheld fabric steamer to gently release wrinkles without applying direct heat to the embroidery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dress is designed for effortless wear once you choose your size. Since the bodice features a shirred back, ensure the zipper is fully engaged after pulling the dress over your head.
Care Instructions:
- Always check the garment interior label for specific washing temperatures.
- Turn the dress inside out before placing it in the wash to protect the exterior floral embroidery.
- Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Avoid high-heat tumble drying; instead, hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to maintain the color and fabric texture.
- If ironing is required, use a low-heat setting or steam to remove wrinkles while avoiding direct pressure on the embroidered details.
