Product Information
Full details
This Dorothy Perkins mini dress is designed for adults looking for a feminine, romantic piece that transitions easily between daytime casual and smart-casual settings. Its key appeal lies in the sweetheart neckline and puff sleeves, which provide a trendy, structured silhouette that holds its shape well. A potential caveat for shoppers is that the woven fabric does not offer the same stretch as jersey alternatives, so ensure you check your measurements against the UK size 10 specifications to guarantee a comfortable fit.

FAQs
Does this dress have a zipper?
Yes, standard Dorothy Perkins dresses of this style typically include a discreet side or back zipper for ease of entry.
Is the fabric see-through?
The woven construction is generally opaque, though it is always best to wear skin-tone undergarments with floral prints.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is safe to machine wash on a delicate/cold cycle, but air drying is highly recommended to protect the elasticated cuffs.
What is the sizing scale for this dress?
This product is listed in standard UK sizing (UK 10).
Is the material stretchy?
No, the dress is made of a woven material which is designed for structure rather than stretch.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles in the fabric
Use a cool steam iron on the reverse side of the fabric to smooth out creases without damaging the print.
Elastic cuffs feel too tight
Gently stretch the elastic with your hands before wear, or leave the cuffs around a stable object slightly larger than your wrist overnight to loosen them.
Garment seems slightly snug
Ensure you are measuring at your natural waist, as the non-stretch woven fabric requires precise sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Dorothy Perkins mini dress in peak condition, always check the internal care label before washing. Generally, this woven garment should be washed on a cool, gentle cycle or by hand to preserve the vibrant tropical print and the integrity of the fabric. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can shrink woven materials and compromise the elastic in the cuffs. When storing, it is recommended to hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves. As this is a standard UK size 10, it is compatible with most standard sizing charts, though shoppers preferring a looser fit may consider wearing with a breathable camisole underneath if necessary.
