Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a ready-to-wear garment, there is no setup required beyond ensuring the correct size selection. The dress is cut to a standard UK 18 fit, though the empire line provides some flexibility for varying body shapes. To care for your garment, wash it in a standard machine cycle using cold or lukewarm water to preserve the color vibrancy and fabric integrity. Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as this can shrink cotton fibers and damage the shirred cuff elastic. Instead, hang the dress to dry in a shaded area. If ironing is needed, use a low to medium setting, taking care to iron around the gathered sections to maintain their shape.
