Product Information
Full details
The Joules Esme Dress is designed for adult women who prioritize effortless style and comfort during warm weather. Its primary benefit is the flexible, smocked bodice that adapts to your body, though users should note that the tiered skirt design creates a voluminous, airy silhouette that may not suit those looking for a form-fitting bottom. Featuring a feminine V-neckline and gathered sleeves, this dress is an ideal choice for both casual outings and holiday travel.

FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The smocked bodice provides a flexible fit, but it is recommended to follow standard UK size 22 sizing.
Can this be washed in a standard machine?
Yes, the Joules Esme is machine washable; however, refer to the garment tag for specific temperature settings.
What is the length of the dress?
The length is 138cm based on a UK size 12; expect slight variations in length for size 22.
Does the fabric have stretch?
The smocked bodice area is highly flexible, providing natural stretch, while the tiered skirt is designed to be airy and loose.
Is the neckline too deep?
The V-neck is designed to be flattering and clean, featuring internal binding to maintain its shape during wear.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight around the bodice
Ensure the shirring is not caught on undergarments and allow the fabric to stretch naturally as the smocking is designed to expand.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Hang the dress in a bathroom while taking a warm shower or use a light steam setting to allow the tiered fabric to release creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Joules Esme Dress features a smocked bodice, no complex closures like buttons or zippers are typically needed, allowing for quick dressing. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the elasticity of the shirring, machine wash the garment according to the standard care label instructions. Ensure the dress is air-dried or tumble-dried on a low heat setting to prevent any shrinkage or damage to the delicate gathering details. Always check your specific UK size 22 fit against standard measurements to ensure the best drape for the tiered skirt.
