FAQs
Is the cotton used in this dress organic?
Yes, the dress is certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), ensuring it meets strict environmental and social criteria.
Can I tumble dry the Flutterby dress?
While it is machine washable, we recommend air drying to keep the organic cotton soft and prevent shrinkage.
Why are there buttons on the shoulder?
The coconut button shoulder opening is designed to provide a wider neck space, making it much easier to put the dress on over a child's head.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
Yes, the jersey fabric includes a small amount of stretch to ensure it is comfortable and non-restrictive for children.
What is the best way to clean the dress to be eco-friendly?
Washing at 30°C is highly recommended as it is kinder to the planet and sufficient for regular cleaning.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the dress features two patch pockets on the skirt that can be used for storing small items.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after heavy use
Check the stitching around the coconut button and reinforce with a needle and thread if necessary.
Fabric looks slightly faded after many washes
Ensure you are washing inside out and avoid using harsh bleaches or high-heat tumble drying.
Wrinkles after drying
Lightly mist with water and use a low-heat iron on the reverse side to smooth out the jersey fabric.
