Full details
The Finery London Cara Dress is an ideal choice for adults seeking a sophisticated yet breathable summer wardrobe staple, blending artisanal embroidery with a versatile midi-length silhouette. Its primary benefit lies in the thoughtful combination of a tailored bust and a flexible shirred back, ensuring a comfortable, custom-like fit. However, users should note that the cotton fabric requires careful attention to washing instructions to maintain the integrity of the intricate floral embroidery.

FAQs
Is the fabric sheer?
The Cara Dress is crafted from a substantial floral embroidered cotton, which provides excellent coverage.
How does the shirred back affect the sizing?
The shirred back panel allows for extra flexibility and give around the ribcage, making the dress adaptable to slight variations in size.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Yes, but use a delicate cycle with cold water and turn the dress inside out to protect the embroidered exterior.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the side pockets are designed for everyday utility and are deep enough to hold a standard smartphone securely.
What is the dress length?
The dress measures 128cm in length, falling as a midi on most individuals.
Troubleshooting
The zipper feels stuck at the waist seam
Gently ensure the fabric of the tiered skirt is not caught in the teeth of the zip before pulling; guide the zipper slowly past the thicker seam area.
Embroidery threads appearing loose
Avoid pulling on loose threads, which can unravel the design; instead, carefully trim the thread base with sharp embroidery scissors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions: To protect the artisanal floral embroidery, it is recommended to wash this dress on a gentle, cool cycle or hand wash in cold water. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat tumble drying, as these can compromise both the cotton fibers and the embroidery quality. Hang the garment to dry naturally to maintain its shape.
Styling Compatibility: This dress features a neutral black base with floral detailing, making it highly versatile. It pairs well with neutral-toned sandals for a day look, or elevated wedges for evening events. The tailored bust means it is compatible with most standard undergarments, though the scoop neckline is designed for a clean, open look.
