Is this shirt suitable for formal events?

Yes, the elegant design and crisp fabric make it suitable for smart lunches, gallery openings, or other semi-formal events when paired with appropriate bottoms and accessories.

What are the washing instructions for this shirt?

It is recommended to machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble drying on high heat. Iron on a medium heat setting.

Does the shirt come in other colors?

Yes, this particular style is also available in White, with variations in secondary color accents. Please check the product listing for available options.

What is the fit of the shirt?

The shirt has a regular fit and is designed to be approximately 70cm in length, allowing for versatile styling.

How do I best maintain the pleats?

For best results, iron the shirt on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron. Careful ironing is key to keeping the pleated frill detailing sharp.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Iron the shirt on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron to smooth out wrinkles and restore the crispness of the fabric and pleats.

Pleat detailing losing its sharpness.

Ensure proper ironing technique, focusing on pressing the pleats firmly. Line drying can also help maintain structure better than tumble drying.

Gold-toned buttons tarnishing.

Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals or perfumes. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. If significant tarnishing occurs, consult a professional cleaner.

Shirt feels stiff.

This is expected due to the crisp cotton poplin fabric which is designed to hold its shape. Repeated wears and washes (following care instructions) will soften the fabric slightly over time.
