It serves as an ideal choice for sun-drenched holidays or casual outings, offering a flattering, flexible fit thanks to its expertly smocked bodice.

FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The Esme dress features a smocked bodice designed to be flexible, but it is generally recommended to stick to your standard UK dress size.
Can I machine wash this dress?
While the fabric is durable, we recommend a gentle, cool machine cycle to protect the integrity of the shirred smocking.
What kind of shoes go best with this maxi dress?
Flat leather sandals, espadrilles, or clean white trainers work best to balance the airy volume of the tiered skirt.
Does the dress have pockets?
The current design of the Esme dress focuses on the tiered silhouette and shirred bodice; please check the garment interior for specific pocket integration.
Is the fabric suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the airy construction and tiered design allow for good airflow, making it a reliable favorite for sun-drenched holidays.
Troubleshooting
Shirring seems to have lost some elasticity.
Avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they can coat the fibers and degrade the elastic performance over time.
Dress appears wrinkled after storage.
Use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting. Avoid pressing directly on the smocked bodice with a heavy iron.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Joules Esme dress remains in optimal condition, always check the interior garment label for specific washing instructions. Due to the fine shirring at the bodice, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash to preserve the elasticity of the smocking. When drying, avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric structure; air drying on a hanger or flat is preferred. The dress is designed to be a standalone piece, though it pairs well with light denim jackets for cooler evenings or classic leather sandals for a daytime look.
