FAQs

What material is the Principles Midi Dress made from?

The dress is made from Wool, which gives it a distinct texture and requires careful handling for maintenance.

How should I properly wash this wool dress?

It is recommended to hand wash in cool water with a wool-specific detergent, or use a delicate/wool machine cycle with cold water if the care label permits. Always refer to the specific care instructions on the garment label.

Can I put this dress in a tumble dryer?

No, it is advised not to tumble dry this wool dress. Lay it flat on a clean surface or hang on a padded hanger to air dry to prevent shrinking or damage.

What kind of occasions is this dress suitable for?

The dress is versatile for various daytime occasions, including family gatherings, casual brunches, or everyday wear where you desire both elegance and comfort.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, it features practical side pockets for added functionality, allowing you to carry small essentials.

How should I store the dress to maintain its shape?

Store the dress either folded neatly in a drawer or on a broad, padded hanger to prevent stretching or misshaping, especially due to the wool material and puff sleeves.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a low-heat setting with a pressing cloth. Laying it flat to dry can also minimize wrinkles.

Fabric feels rough or has lost its softness.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat during washing and drying, as this can damage wool fibers.

Dress seems to have shrunk after washing.

This often occurs due to hot water or tumble drying. Always use cold water for washing and air dry flat or on a padded hanger. Follow the specific care label instructions rigorously.

Pockets gape or bulge unnaturally.

Avoid overfilling the side pockets with heavy or bulky items. If the pockets are consistently misshapen, a light steam and reshaping while damp can help.

Care Instructions (Wool Material):

As this dress is made from Wool, specific care is crucial to maintain its texture, shape, and longevity. Always check the garment's specific care label for precise instructions, but general wool care typically includes:

  1. Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a wool-specific detergent, or machine wash on a delicate/wool cycle if permitted, using cold water.
  2. Drying: *Do not tumble dry*. Gently roll the dress in a clean towel to remove excess water, then lay flat on a clean, dry surface or hang on a padded hanger to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low-heat setting with steam, or use a steamer. Avoid direct contact with a hot iron by placing a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric.
  4. Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching or misshaping, or hang on a broad, padded hanger.
