FAQs
Is the dress lined?
The dress features high-quality cotton construction with intricate cutwork, designed to provide coverage while maintaining breathability.
Does the dress fit true to size?
Yes, this model follows standard UK sizing. The inclusion of an adjustable waist sash allows for minor fit customization.
Can I wear a standard bra with this dress?
Due to the halterneck silhouette, it is recommended to use a strapless or adhesive bra to ensure the neck and shoulder area remains clear.
What is the best way to remove small stains from the white cotton?
Spot clean gently with a mild, bleach-free detergent and cold water, taking care not to rub the delicate broderie sections aggressively.
What length does the midi skirt hit?
The dress is designed as a midi length and is specifically proportioned for a petite frame to ensure it falls appropriately on the calf.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears creased after storage
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting, keeping distance from the fabric to protect the embroidery.
Difficulty keeping collar crisp
Use a light starch spray when ironing on a low heat setting and store on a wide-shouldered hanger.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the cutwork and broderie details, professional dry cleaning is recommended. If you choose to wash the garment, use a cold, delicate cycle inside a laundry bag to prevent the delicate embroidery from snagging. Always hang the dress to dry, avoiding direct heat or tumble drying, as cotton can be prone to shrinking. The dress is designed for standard UK sizing; however, because the waist is adjustable via the self-tie sash, it offers a slight tolerance in fit. When storing, keep the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and prevent unnecessary creasing of the delicate fabric.
