FAQs
Does this dress run true to size?
The dress follows standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit through the torso, you may consider sizing up.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, it can be styled in winter by adding opaque tights, a warm coat, and knee-high boots.
Is the fabric prone to shrinking?
To minimize the risk of shrinkage, always wash in cool or cold water and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
What is the best way to store the dress?
Hang it on a padded hanger to ensure the shoulders and puff sleeves keep their intended volume and shape.
Are the sleeves tight around the arms?
The puff sleeves are designed for a voluminous look, offering a comfortable fit that should not feel restrictive on the arms.
Troubleshooting
Wrinkles after washing
Use a handheld garment steamer to gently remove creases without damaging the fabric or the puff sleeve structure.
Buttons feeling loose
Check the buttons periodically after machine washing; if they feel loose, a quick reinforcement with a needle and thread will prevent loss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Dorothy Perkins mini dress in pristine condition, always refer to the internal care label for specific fabric requirements. Generally, this item should be washed on a gentle cycle with like colors to prevent the vibrant floral print from fading. Avoid using harsh bleach or heavy-duty detergents. When drying, it is recommended to air dry the garment on a hanger to maintain the shape of the puff sleeves and prevent unnecessary creasing. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any delicate embellishments or buttons.
