FAQs

What is TENCEL Modal and why is it used?

TENCEL Modal is a sustainable fiber derived from beechwood. It's known for its exceptional softness, breathability, and drape, contributing to the comfort and elegant feel of the dress.

How do I know if the empire line will suit me?

An empire line dress is fitted just below the bust, with the rest of the fabric flowing loosely. It tends to highlight the upper body and skim over the midsection and hips. Consider trying it on to see how the silhouette works with your body shape.

Can this dress be worn in all seasons?

The breathable fabric blend makes it suitable for warmer weather. For colder seasons, it can be layered effectively with tights, boots, a cardigan, or a jacket.

What is the specific fabric composition?

The dress is crafted from 60% Organic Cotton and 40% TENCEL Modal.

How should I care for the shirred cuffs?

The shirred cuffs are designed to be durable. Follow the general machine wash and dry instructions for the dress. Avoid stretching them excessively when wet.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is described as a midi length, meaning it typically falls below the knee and above the ankle.

Troubleshooting

Dress arrived with a crease

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a low heat setting following care instructions.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have not used excessive heat during washing or drying. A gentle tumble dry on low might help restore softness.

Consult the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. Note that different styles may have slightly different fits.
