FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
Yes, this dress is designed to be a regular fit and follows standard UK petite sizing.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is crafted from polyester, which provides durability and a smooth finish.
Can this dress be worn in the summer?
While intended for cooler seasons, the fabric is lightweight enough for spring; however, the long sleeves may be too warm for peak summer heat.
How should I wash this dress?
Use a delicate wash cycle with cold or lukewarm water, and avoid harsh detergents to maintain the fabric quality.
What footwear goes best with this midi length?
Ankle boots, knee-high boots, or smart flats work exceptionally well with this midi-length silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Use a low-temperature steamer or hang the dress in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to let the steam release creases.
Elasticated cuffs feeling too tight
Gently stretch the elastic while the fabric is slightly damp to loosen the tension, or consult a local tailor for professional adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The dress is a standard fit and is generally true to size for UK petite sizing. To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these care instructions:
- Always check the internal garment label for specific temperature settings.

- Hang dry or lay flat to prevent the fabric from stretching out of shape.
- Avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the synthetic fibres.
