Full details

Its key benefit lies in its dual functionality as both a maxi skirt and a knee-length dress, offering adaptable styling options.

FAQs
What sizes is the Brakeburn Gingham Teresa available in?
This model is available in various UK women's dress sizes, including size 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 as indicated by available product variants.
Can this be worn in cooler weather?
While primarily designed for warm weather due to its lightweight cotton fabric, it can be layered with a cardigan or jacket for cooler temperatures when worn as a dress.
How do I convert it from a skirt to a dress?
To wear as a skirt, position the shirred section around your hips. To wear as a dress, pull the shirred section up to function as a fitted bodice on your upper body, with the skirt falling to knee-length.
What kind of shoes pair best with this item?
It pairs well with casual footwear such as wedges, flip-flops, sandals, or even sneakers for a relaxed look.
Is the cotton material breathable?
Yes, 100% cotton is a natural fiber known for its breathability, making this garment comfortable in warm conditions.
What is the length when worn as a skirt?
When worn as a skirt, the garment functions as a maxi skirt, falling to the ankles or floor, depending on where the shirred waistband is positioned on the hips.
Can I machine wash this item?
Yes, you can machine wash it in cold water (30°C) separately. Please follow all other care instructions carefully, such as avoiding bleach and tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight or loose at the shirred section.
The shirred waistband is designed for flexibility. Ensure it is positioned correctly on the hips (as a skirt) or torso (as a dress). If discomfort persists, consider the garment's intended fit and alternative styling.
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing or packing.
As 100% cotton can wrinkle, hang the garment immediately after washing and allow it to air dry. If needed, iron on the reverse side with a warm setting as per care instructions.
Color fading after washing.
Ensure you are washing in cold water (30°C) and separately from other garments to prevent color transfer and fading. Avoid harsh detergents.
