How do I adjust the fit of the dress?

The dress comes with a tie belt that allows you to cinch the waistline to your preferred fit, creating a more defined silhouette.

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from a high-quality, lightweight viscose linen woven fabric.

What are the recommended care instructions for this linen dress?

It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry, and iron on a medium heat setting. Dry cleaning is also an option.

Does the dress have a specific fit or silhouette?

The dress features a flattering straight silhouette that can be adjusted with the tie belt to cinch the waist.

Can this dress be worn in warm weather?

Troubleshooting

Dress wrinkles easily.

Iron the dress while slightly damp or use a steamer. Consider a gentle wash cycle and lay flat to dry to minimize wrinkles.

Belt does not stay tied.

Ensure the knot is tied securely. If the belt material is particularly smooth, a double knot may help. Consider replacing the belt with one offering more grip if this is a persistent issue.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Use a fabric softener on a gentle cycle or air dry in a slightly humid environment. Avoid high heat drying, which can make linen stiff.
