FAQs

How should I wash the Gingham Teresa?

It should be cold washed separately at 30°C. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Hang dry and iron on the reverse side with a warm iron.

Is this suitable for travel?

Yes, the 100% cotton fabric is lightweight and easy to pack, making it an ideal choice for holidays.

What kind of shoes pair well with this item?

It pairs well with casual footwear like flip-flops or slightly dressier options such as wedges.

Does it run true to size?

Can I coordinate this with other clothing items?

Yes, it can be styled with various tops. Brakeburn suggests pairing it with their Bia blouse for a coordinated outfit.

Troubleshooting

Garment appears creased after washing.

Iron the garment on a warm setting, ensuring you iron on the reverse side as per care instructions. Ensure it is fully dry before ironing.

Shrinking or damage after washing.

Review care instructions. Ensure you are using a cold wash at 30°C and not using bleach or a tumble dryer. Hang drying is recommended.

Shirring feels too tight or too loose.

The shirred section is designed for flexibility. Ensure you are wearing it in the intended style (skirt or dress) as the fit will vary slightly depending on the configuration.

Color fading.

Wash the garment separately in cold water, especially for the first few washes, to prevent color bleeding and fading.
