FAQs

What type of fabric is this dress made from?

The dress is made from wool, providing a comfortable and potentially warm feel.

How should I wash this wool dress?

It is best to hand wash in cold water or use a wool-specific machine cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying.

Can this dress be worn in warmer weather?

While wool offers some breathability, it is generally better suited for cooler temperatures. However, it can be styled for transitional weather with appropriate layering.

How does the shirred waist affect the fit?

The shirred waist is designed to comfortably cinch you in, providing a flexible and flattering fit that adapts to your shape.

What kind of shoes pair well with this dress?

The dress is versatile and pairs well with wedges, heels, sandals, and even trainers, depending on the desired look.

Is the woodblock print on both sides of the fabric?

The product description focuses on the print being visible on the dress exterior. Typically, prints are on the outer face of the fabric.

What occasions is this dress suitable for?

This dress is described as a 'do it all' dress, suitable for casual outings, office wear, and semi-formal events when styled appropriately.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing

Gently steam the dress or iron on a cool setting on the reverse side. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.

Wool material feels itchy

Ensure the dress is clean, as residual detergent can sometimes cause irritation. Wearing a thin layer underneath may also help.

Shirring at the waist has lost elasticity

Avoid high heat drying methods, as this can degrade elastic. If significantly stretched, professional repair may be needed.

Print fading after multiple washes

Use a mild detergent, wash in cold water, and air dry away from direct sunlight. Consider dry cleaning for preserving print vibrancy.
