FAQs
Is the material see-through?
The linen is standard weight; depending on the specific color, you may prefer nude-colored undergarments for maximum opacity.
Can I adjust the length of the dress?
The dress length is fixed, but pulling the waist tie tighter can slightly elevate the hemline by cinching the fabric.
Does the dress shrink in the wash?
As with all linen items, slight shrinkage is possible. Always use cold water and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
Is the waist tie removable?
The waist tie is typically integrated into the design to ensure a proper fit, though it can usually be untied completely if a looser look is desired.
What is the best way to travel with this dress?
Roll the dress tightly in your suitcase instead of folding it; this significantly reduces the severity of wrinkles upon arrival.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn wrinkles after washing
Lightly mist the fabric with water and use a garment steamer to relax the fibers.
Waist tie coming undone
Use a double knot or a secure square knot to ensure the tie stays in place during extended wear.
Fabric feels stiff after air drying
Tumble dry on the lowest, cool-air setting for 5 minutes with a wool dryer ball to soften the linen fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water to prevent the linen fibers from weakening.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended. Hang the dress on a padded hanger while damp to help minimize heavy creases.
- Ironing: Steam or iron the dress while it is still slightly damp for the best results in removing stubborn wrinkles.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry closet. Avoid overcrowding to prevent excessive deep-set wrinkles.
