Crafted from breathable cotton with a timeless checkered gingham pattern, it offers a flattering fit for various body types through its empire waistband and shirred back.

The dress has a length of 125cm, placing it at a midi length for most adult heights.
As it is made from cotton, it is best to avoid high-heat tumble drying to minimize the risk of shrinkage.
The dress design relies on the flexibility of the shirred back panel and elasticated elements to ensure a comfortable fit when putting it on.
While the pockets are practical, they are designed for lightweight items like keys or a phone to avoid distorting the silhouette of the skirt.
The dress features a shirred back panel which offers some flexibility, but it is recommended to use the standard UK sizing guidelines provided.
Ensure the neckline is positioned correctly and the shirred back is snug; if the fit feels loose, layering with a strapless adhesive bra may provide better structural support.
Lightly mist the fabric with water and use a steam iron on the reverse side of the gingham pattern to avoid direct heat damage to the fibers.
Because the dress features elasticated shoulders and a shirred back, it is recommended to wash this garment on a gentle cycle or by hand to protect the integrity of the elastic. Use a mild detergent to preserve the cotton fabric's color and texture. When drying, it is best to air dry the dress flat or on a hanger to prevent the weight of the water from stretching the bodice. To remove wrinkles, iron on a low-to-medium cotton setting, being careful to smooth out the checkered pattern evenly. Always check the internal garment tag for specific brand-provided laundry instructions before cleaning.
