FAQs
Does the bodice stretch?
Yes, the bodice features extensive shirring on both the front and back, allowing it to stretch and conform comfortably to your torso.
Is the fabric suitable for hot weather?
The dress is designed with a tiered, airy construction specifically to provide breathability and ease during warm summer days.
How should I clean the dress?
We recommend a gentle machine wash in cold water and air drying to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the elastic detailing.
Can the sleeves be pushed up?
The gathered sleeves are soft and flexible, allowing you to comfortably push them up for a shorter, more casual look if desired.
Is the V-neckline low?
The V-neckline is designed to be flattering and clean, providing an elegant look that is suitable for casual and semi-casual settings.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping a safe distance from the shirred bodice to avoid heat damage to the elastic.
Hemline feels too long
Consider wearing shoes with a slight heel or consult a professional tailor to have the tiers adjusted for your height.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your dress maintains its fit and pattern vibrancy, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water to protect the elastic shirring.
- Drying: Air dry the garment flat or on a hanger to prevent the fabric from stretching out of shape due to its weight.
- Storage: Fold the dress or use a padded hanger to avoid putting unnecessary tension on the smocked sections.
- Compatibility: This item is designed as a standalone piece. It pairs best with minimalist footwear to balance the volume of the tiered skirt.
