FAQs

Is the fabric prone to shrinking?

Since it is made of cotton, it is best to avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent any potential shrinkage.

Does the dress have a lining?

The dress is designed as a single-layer breathable cotton garment; it is best to wear skin-tone undergarments.

Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?

Yes, the wide straps are designed to provide coverage, making it easy to wear a standard bra discreetly.

How do I ensure the best fit with the shirred back?

The shirred back panel is elasticated to provide a secure fit; ensure the bust darts align correctly with your frame for the most flattering silhouette.

Can this dress be dressed up for evening wear?

Absolutely. Swap the leather slides for heeled sandals and add some delicate gold accessories to transition this dress for evening use.

Troubleshooting

The zipper feels stiff or catches.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the track and gently wax the teeth with a pencil lead if the stiffness persists.

The fabric looks wrinkled after storage.

Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping a distance to avoid damaging the embroidery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Cara Dress, follow these care guidelines:

Cleaning: Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with cold water to protect the embroidery. Avoid aggressive tumbling.
Storage: Hang the dress in a cool, dry place to prevent the cotton from wrinkling excessively. Use padded hangers to maintain the shape of the wide straps.
Compatibility: The dress pairs best with natural materials like leather sandals, woven basket bags, or straw accessories to lean into its artisanal aesthetic.
Sizing: Ensure you consult the brand size guide, as the shirred back provides flexibility but the bodice relies on proper bust measurements.
