FAQs

What material is the Emily Dress made from?

The dress is made from a blend of 60% Cotton and 40% Modal® (Tencel™).

Is the dress suitable for sensitive skin?

The cotton and modal blend is generally soft and breathable, often suitable for sensitive skin, but individual reactions can vary.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide and compare your measurements. This particular listing is for a UK size 12.

Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

The cotton and modal blend offers good breathability, making it suitable for mild to warm weather. For very high temperatures, lighter, 100% cotton options might be preferred by some.

Are the pockets deep enough?

The pockets are in-seam, designed for discretion. They are typically suitable for carrying small items like keys, cards, or a small phone.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is described as 'above-ankle length'.

Can this dress be machine washed?

Yes, the dress is machine washable. Follow the care instructions for best results: wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not overloading the washing machine. Consider adding a fabric softener on a subsequent wash, or tumble dry on a low setting.

Color fading after a few washes

Wash the dress inside out in cold water to help preserve the color. Avoid using bleach and direct sunlight for drying.

Dress seems to have shrunk

Check the washing and drying temperature settings. Avoid high heat in both washing and drying. Air drying flat is the safest method to prevent shrinkage.

Seams feel tight or uncomfortable

Inspect the seams for any loose threads. Ensure the correct size has been purchased; if the issue persists, consider gentle stretching of the fabric along the seam line.
