FAQs

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from 100% polyester.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is a midi length, typically falling below the knee and above the ankle.

How should I care for this dress?

It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.

Does the tie detail adjust the fit?

The tie detail is primarily for aesthetic appeal and can be used to cinch the waist slightly, offering a customizable fit.

Is this dress suitable for formal occasions?

While versatile, the jersey fabric and tie detail lean towards smart-casual. It can be dressed up for semi-formal events with appropriate accessories and footwear.

What sizes are available?

This specific listing is for size 18 UK. Other sizes may be available through different listings.

Can I wear this dress in hot weather?

The polyester material may not be as breathable as natural fibers, so consider this for very high temperatures. It is generally comfortable for moderate weather.

Troubleshooting

Dress does not fit as expected.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Dorothy Perkins for accurate measurements. Consider the garment's material and fit description. If between sizes, you may need to size up or down based on preference and the specific cut.

Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.

Use a low heat setting on your iron. Hanging the dress on a hanger immediately after washing can help minimize wrinkles. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions.

Color fades after washing.

Always wash dark colors separately, especially for the first few washes. Use a mild detergent and avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as this can contribute to color loss.
