FAQs
What is the best way to care for this linen dress?
It is best to hand wash this dress in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to air dry, and iron on a low setting if necessary.
Can I wear this dress without the belt?
Yes, the belt is detachable. You can wear the dress with the belt for a cinched waist look or remove it for a more relaxed, flowing silhouette.
What occasions is this dress suitable for?

Is the multicolor pattern suitable for all skin tones?
The multicolor design is vibrant and generally flattering, offering a cheerful aesthetic. Personal preference and styling choices will ultimately determine its suitability for individual wearers.
How does the UK size 14 fit?
The dress is designed to fit a UK size 14. It features a classic shirt dress silhouette with a straight point collar and a concealed button front, intended to provide a comfortable and standard fit for that size.
Will the linen shrink if I hand wash it?
Hand washing in cool water and air drying significantly reduces the risk of shrinkage. Avoid hot water and machine drying, which are the primary causes of linen shrinkage.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cool water for hand washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. Air dry completely and iron on a low setting if needed.
Linen wrinkles easily
This is a natural characteristic of linen. For a smoother appearance, try ironing while the dress is slightly damp or use a steamer. Embracing a slightly relaxed, un-ironed look is also part of linen's charm.
Color fading
Always hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can cause colors to fade over time.
