FAQs
What material is this dress made of?
The dress is crafted from a woven cotton poplin blend, which offers a crisp feel and natural texture.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is recommended to follow the specific care instructions on the internal garment tag; typically, a gentle cycle is preferred for cotton poplin.
Is the dress true to size?
The dress is designed with a structured, fitted bodice, so it is recommended to consult the size guide to ensure the best fit for your measurements.
What type of bra works best with this dress?
Given the open-back and halter neckline, an adhesive backless bra or a bra with clear/convertible straps is recommended.
Is the skirt lined?
The dress features a generously gathered full skirt, which provides natural opacity due to the quality of the woven poplin blend.
Where is the button placket located?
The button-through placket runs the full length of the bodice for a tailored, considered finish.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a garment steamer on the cotton poplin to safely remove wrinkles without pressing the structured seams too harshly.
Neck tie does not sit flat
Ensure the fabric is laid flat before tying, and use a small amount of steam to shape the bow-like finish.

- Structured bodice provides a flattering, tailored fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, check the specific UK sizing guidelines, as the structured bodice is designed to be fitted. Due to the halter neck and open back, consider using adhesive bras or styles specifically designed for backless garments to maintain the clean lines of the dress. For care, always check the interior garment label. Generally, this cotton-poplin blend benefits from a gentle cycle wash or dry cleaning to preserve the structure of the bodice. Always steam or iron on a medium setting before wearing to remove any creases gained from storage, focusing specifically on the full skirt to ensure it maintains its gathered, voluminous look.
