Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your FatFace Cleo dress remains in top condition, follow standard care protocols for linen garments. Since the dress is machine washable, use a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the fabric fibers and the shell print detail. Avoid high-heat drying, which can cause shrinkage; instead, reshape the dress while damp and allow it to air dry on a hanger. For ironing, use a medium heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp to effectively remove creases. The dress is designed for a regular fit, so choose your standard UK dress size for the intended silhouette.
