FAQs

What is the length of this dress?

This is a midi-length dress, meaning it typically falls between the knee and the mid-calf.

Is the fabric prone to shrinking?

As with most delicate fabrics, it is best to avoid high heat during washing and drying to prevent shrinkage.

Can this dress be worn in winter?

Yes, it can be layered with a cardigan or a coat, and paired with tights and boots for a seasonal look.

Does the dress have a lining?

The product description focuses on the outer silhouette; please refer to the garment label for details on inner lining composition.

How should I store the dress?

It is best to hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and the overall drape.

Troubleshooting

Wrinkles in the fabric

Use a garment steamer on a low setting or an iron on cool to gently smooth out creases without damaging the delicate print.

Loss of elasticity in shirred cuffs

Ensure the garment is not being dried in high heat, which can cause synthetic elastic fibers to break down over time.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your dress, always check the internal garment tag for specific fabric composition and temperature settings. It is recommended to wash the dress in a delicate cycle with like colors to prevent color bleeding from the floral print. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as these may fade the cream base and damage the floral pattern. For drying, hanging the garment naturally helps preserve the shape of the shirred cuffs and avoids shrinking. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with the shirred areas to prevent loss of elasticity.
