FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from Polyester, which provides stretch, durability, and a comfortable feel.

Is this dress suitable for all seasons?

While its design (short sleeves, midi length) makes it ideal for warm-weather and summer styling, it can be layered with jackets or cardigans for transitional seasons.

How should I wash this animal print dress?

We recommend machine washing in cold water on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the fabric and print.

Does the dress run true to size?

This particular dress is a UK Size 16. While made with stretch, it's always best to consult the brand's specific size chart for the most accurate fit recommendation.

What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?

Its relaxed yet chic vibe makes it perfect for casual summer outings, brunches, daytime events, shopping, or even relaxed evening gatherings. It's designed for versatility in your warm-weather wardrobe.

Can I iron this dress?

Yes, you can iron it on a low-heat setting, preferably inside out, to protect the animal print. Avoid high heat as polyester can be sensitive to direct, intense heat.

Will the animal print fade over time?

With proper care (cold wash, mild detergent, avoiding excessive sun during drying), the animal print should retain its vibrancy. Harsh chemicals or high heat can accelerate fading.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or too loose.

While the dress has stretch, ensure you selected the correct UK size based on your body measurements. Refer to the brand's sizing guide for accuracy. If still an issue, consider altering or exchanging for a different size.

Fabric looks wrinkled after washing.

Polyester can be prone to wrinkles if not dried properly. Tumble dry on low heat, or better, hang dry immediately after washing and smooth out any wrinkles by hand. A low-heat iron or steamer can also be used.

Colors seem faded or dull after washing.

Always wash in cold water with similar colors and a mild detergent. Avoid excessive sun exposure during drying, as this can contribute to fading over time. Ensure no harsh bleaches were used.

Static cling when wearing the dress.

Static cling is common with synthetic fabrics like polyester. To reduce it, use a fabric softener during washing, or apply an anti-static spray before wearing. Wearing cotton or natural fiber undergarments can also help.

Dress print appears damaged.

To protect the animal print, wash the dress inside out. When ironing, use a low heat setting and iron the dress inside out or with a pressing cloth to avoid direct heat contact with the print.

Care Instructions

Proper care helps maintain the dress's shape, color, and fabric quality.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry to prevent shrinking and maintain fabric integrity. Polyester dries relatively quickly.
  4. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low-heat setting, preferably inside out, to protect the print. Avoid high heat as polyester can scorch or melt.
  5. Storage: Store on a hanger to prevent creasing and maintain its silhouette.

Sizing

The dress is a UK Size 16. Always refer to a brand's specific size chart if available, as sizing can vary between brands. The stretch in the polyester material provides some flexibility in fit.
