What material is the dress made from?

The dress is crafted from 100% cotton, with trim made of 77% viscose and 23% polyamide.

How should I care for the dress?

The dress requires dry cleaning only. Avoid washing with water, bleach, or harsh detergents to preserve the fabric and its intricate details.

Does the dress run true to size?

Generally, Self-Portrait garments are designed for a tailored fit. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart and consider your measurements for the best fit.

Can I wear this dress in humid weather?

The 100% cotton fabric is breathable, making it comfortable for warm weather. However, the crochet detailing might absorb moisture.

What are the available sizes?

This specific listing is for UK size 6. The dress is available in other UK sizes, including UK 4, UK 8, UK 14, and UK 16, as indicated by variant siblings.

Is the dress lined?

The product description does not specify if the dress is lined. Given the crochet nature, a lining is often included or a slip may be recommended depending on the transparency.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage.

Gently steam the dress on a cool setting or have it professionally dry cleaned and pressed. Avoid direct high heat when ironing.

Crochet detailing snagged or pulled.

If a small snag occurs, try to gently pull the loose thread back through to the reverse side using a fine needle. For larger damage, professional repair by a seamstress experienced with delicate fabrics is recommended.

Fabric feels stiff after dry cleaning.

This can sometimes happen with certain dry cleaning solvents. Gently shake out the garment before wearing. If the stiffness persists, a professional cleaner may be able to use a different method.
