FAQs

What material is this dress made of?

This dress is crafted from high-quality, breathable cotton.

Is the waist belt removable?

Yes, the self-tie fabric belt is adjustable and can be removed or tied to your desired fit.

Does the dress have a lining?

Given the delicate cutwork, ensure you check the interior label; however, the structured bodice is designed to be opaque.

How should I clean the dress?

We recommend following the care label instructions, typically suggesting a gentle hand wash or a delicate machine cycle in a laundry bag to protect the intricate cutwork.

Yes, the midi-length and elegant design make it an excellent choice for daytime wedding events and garden parties.

How does the sizing compare to other brands?

This is a standard UK size 18 fit. We recommend checking the size chart if you are between sizes, as the tie-waist allows for some adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Snagged thread on cutwork embroidery

Do not pull the thread. Gently use a small needle to ease the loop back through to the reverse side of the fabric.

Creasing during transit

Lightly steam the dress on the reverse side of the embroidery, keeping the steamer nozzle a safe distance from the delicate cutwork sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is crafted from detailed cotton cutwork, special care is required to maintain its structure. It is recommended to follow the specific garment care label for washing instructions, ideally using a delicate cycle or hand-washing to prevent damage to the embroidery. Store the dress in a cool, dry place on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the flutter sleeves. The dress fits true to size for UK 18, and the adjustable belt provides flexibility for slightly varied body shapes.
