FAQs
What occasions is this dress suitable for?
This dress is ideal for daywear, including casual outings, brunches, garden parties, holidays, and relaxed social gatherings. It can also be dressed up slightly for smart-casual events.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from Polyester jersey fabric, known for its comfort, stretch, and ease of care. This material contributes to its soft feel and good drape.
How should I choose the right size?
It's highly recommended to refer to Dorothy Perkins' official size guide and compare your body measurements. The product model wears a UK size 10 and is 5'9" tall, which can serve as a helpful reference point.
Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?
Yes, for cooler weather, you can easily layer the dress. Consider pairing it with tights, ankle boots or knee-high boots, and a stylish cardigan, denim jacket, or light blazer to add warmth and extend its wearability across seasons.
Is the floral pattern exactly as shown in the pictures?
While the overall multicolor floral pattern and design will be consistent, slight variations in the exact placement of the print may occur between individual garments due to the fabric cutting process. This means each dress might have a unique pattern distribution.
How do I best care for the dress to prevent shrinking or stretching?
To prevent shrinking or stretching, always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, and avoid high heat during drying. Air drying by laying flat is the best method to maintain the dress's original shape and size.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your body measurements and consulted the Dorothy Perkins size guide. Consider exchanging for an alternative size if available and within return policy.
Fabric appears creased after wear or washing.
While jersey is generally wrinkle-resistant, minor creases can occur. A light steam or low-heat ironing (inside out) will help. Hanging the dress immediately after washing and removing it promptly from the dryer can also minimize creasing.
Color fading after washing.
Always wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors and use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, which can contribute to color fading. Air drying can also help preserve colors over time.
Dress doesn't drape as expected.
Ensure the correct size is worn; an ill-fitting dress can affect drape. Jersey fabric has a natural drape; if you prefer a more structured look, consider layering with a jacket or opting for accessories that add shape.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the vibrant colors and fabric quality of your dress. Always refer to the garment's specific care label for the most accurate instructions. General guidelines for Polyester jersey fabric typically include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or below) on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colors to prevent color transfer.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach, as this can damage the fabric and fade the colors.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, lay flat to dry to help maintain the dress's shape and prevent shrinking or stretching. Air drying is often recommended for jersey.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting and iron inside out. Avoid ironing directly on any decorative elements or prints.
- Storage: Store the dress on a hanger to prevent creases, or fold neatly in a drawer.
