Yes, it is generally machine washable on a gentle, cool cycle, though hand washing is recommended for longevity.
Petite sizing is specifically proportioned for those 5'3" and under, ensuring the waistline and sleeves hit at the correct points.
The woven fabric is primarily structured and does not have significant stretch, offering a more tailored fit.
Absolutely, the floral print and midi length are sophisticated enough for weddings, christenings, and garden parties.
Avoid high heat when ironing or drying, as excessive heat can cause the elastic thread within the shirring to lose its shape.
The dress is designed for a tailored fit; ensure you are not wearing bulky undergarments and check the size chart to confirm the UK 8 sizing matches your measurements.
The elastic in the shirred cuffs is designed to stay in place; try pulling the sleeves slightly higher up the forearm to relieve tension if needed.
To keep your Dorothy Perkins dress looking its best, check the interior garment tag for specific wash instructions. Given the woven nature of the fabric, it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle or hand wash to prevent snagging the delicate floral pattern. When drying, avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can lead to shrinkage; instead, hang the dress to air dry on a wide-shouldered hanger. If wrinkles occur, use a low-heat steam setting to smooth out the fabric, taking care to avoid pressing directly on the shirred cuff elastic.
