Full details

FAQs
What is the length of the Cara Dress?
The dress has a total length of 128cm, typically hitting at the mid-calf depending on your height.
Does the dress have a lining?
The dress is crafted from high-quality floral embroidered cotton, designed for breathability without the need for heavy layers.
Can I machine wash this dress?
It is recommended to use a gentle, cold machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the embroidery.
Does the bodice provide support?
Yes, the combination of bust darts and the shirred back panel provides a structured, supportive fit.
Are the pockets noticeable?
No, the side pockets are designed to be discreet and integrated seamlessly into the skirt's side seams.
What material is used for the embroidery?
The embroidery is constructed from high-quality thread matched to the cotton base for a tactile, artisanal finish.
Troubleshooting
Side zip feels stiff or catches
Ensure the fabric is not trapped in the zipper track; apply a tiny amount of beeswax or lead pencil graphite to the teeth to smooth the movement.
Shirred back panel appears wrinkled
Lightly steam the back panel from a distance to relax the fibers and help the elastic regain its shape.

Care Instructions:
- Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash instructions.
- Use a delicate detergent and a cool water setting to prevent the floral embroidery from fraying or shrinking.
- Turn the dress inside out before placing it in a garment bag if using a washing machine.
- Hang dry in a shaded area to maintain the vibrancy of the black fabric and prevent heat damage to the cotton fibers.
- Use a low-heat iron or a handheld steamer to smooth out the tiered skirt tiers after storage.
