FAQs

What is the best way to clean the Cornelli embroidery?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid scrubbing the embroidered areas directly. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

How does the cotton-linen blend feel?

The cotton-linen blend offers a natural texture that is breathable and comfortable, ideal for warmer weather. It has a characteristic slight crispness that softens with wear.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, the midi dress can be layered with items like a cropped denim jacket, a lightweight cardigan, or a fine-knit sweater for transitional weather.

Are the side pockets functional?

Yes, the side pockets are designed to be functional, adding practicality to the dress without altering its silhouette.

What accessories pair well with this dress?

Given the intricate embroidery, minimal accessories are recommended. Simple sandals, delicate jewelry like a bangle or stud earrings, and a clutch bag would complement the dress well.

What is the intended occasion for this dress?

This dress is suitable for a range of occasions, from casual daytime events like brunches and garden parties to more semi-formal gatherings such as summer weddings or dinners.

How should I check my size before purchasing?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and compare it with your body measurements. Pay attention to bust, waist, and hip measurements for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Embroidery threads snagging

Be cautious when wearing jewelry or near rough surfaces. If a thread snags, do not pull it. Try to carefully trim the snagged thread with small, sharp scissors.

Fabric wrinkling easily

Hang the dress immediately after washing. Use a steamer or a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric to remove wrinkles. Consider a fabric-care spray designed to reduce wrinkles.

Color fading

Wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use a detergent specifically for colored fabrics.
