Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this dress suitable for petite frames?

This garment is specifically cut and tailored for taller individuals. It may not fit correctly on shorter frames due to the placement of the shoulders and the overall length.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

Yes, the cotton jersey fabric features a ribbed texture that provides natural elasticity for a comfortable, close-to-body fit.

Can I tumble dry this dress?

It is not recommended to tumble dry. Air drying is best to preserve the integrity of the cotton jersey and the button hardware.

What kind of undergarments work best?

Given the sleek nature of the ribbed fabric, seamless undergarments are recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette.

Are the buttons functional?

The buttons are designed as decorative elements to add a polished, sophisticated touch to the shoulder area.

Is the fabric heavy?

The dress is made from a mid-weight cotton jersey, making it breathable enough for all-day wear but substantial enough to drape gracefully.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing slightly stretched

Wash on a cool, gentle cycle and lay flat to dry to allow the cotton fibers to retract to their original shape.

Difficulty with shoulder buttons

Check the buttonholes for loose threads; use a small pair of fabric scissors to clear any obstructions if the button catches.

Dress length feels too long

Style with heeled boots or shoes to raise the hemline off the floor or consult a professional tailor for a simple hem adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Long Tall Sally Ribbed Button Maxi Dress in optimal condition, always follow the garment's interior care label. Due to the cotton jersey material, it is recommended to wash the dress on a gentle, cool cycle to prevent shrinking or distortion of the ribbing. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can break down the fibers over time; instead, reshape the dress while damp and lay it flat or hang it to dry. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct size based on your standard UK dress size, keeping in mind that the ribbing provides a slight natural give.
