FAQs

What is the material of this dress?

The dress is made from 100% pure cotton poplin, offering a fresh and pleasant feel.

How do I adjust the gathering effect on the skirt?

The dress features inner drawstrings along the sides of the skirt. By gently pulling or loosening these drawstrings, you can create and adjust the striking gathering effect.

Is this dress suitable for formal events?

While made of cotton, the elegant design, fitted bodice, and adjustable gathering can be styled up for semi-formal summer events with the right accessories like heels and jewelry.

What size does this guide refer to?

This guide pertains to the PINKO Short Dress with Gathering and Drawstring in White, specifically in a UK size 16, though the features are consistent across sizes.

Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?

The sleeveless design makes it ideal for warm weather. For cooler temperatures, it can be layered with a cardigan, jacket, or a light shawl.

How do I clean the drawstrings?

When washing, ensure the drawstrings are not excessively tangled. Hand washing or a gentle machine cycle is recommended. Avoid high heat drying to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels too tight or too loose after adjusting drawstrings.

Carefully loosen or tighten the inner drawstrings. Ensure they are evenly distributed on both sides to achieve the desired fit and drape without excessive pulling.

Drawstrings become tangled.

Gently work the drawstrings apart. If necessary, use a blunt needle or a similar tool to help separate them. Avoid pulling forcefully.

Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.

Iron the dress on a low heat setting while slightly damp. Ensure the iron is not too hot, and consider ironing the garment inside out.
