Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this dress is constructed from cotton, proper care is essential to preserve its shape and colour. It is recommended to machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colours to avoid dye transfer. Always avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can cause the cotton fibres to shrink and the smocking to lose its elasticity. Instead, air dry the garment on a hanger or lay it flat in the shade. To remove wrinkles, use a low-heat iron or a handheld garment steamer. This dress is a standard UK size 8; consider pairing it with neutral-toned undergarments to ensure the fabric sits smoothly against the skin.
