FAQs
What material is this dress made of?
This dress is constructed from denim fabric, known for its durability and structural quality.
Is the lace-up back functional or decorative?
It serves as a key design element, adding both a romantic aesthetic and a touch of adjustability to the fit.
Can I wear this dress in the winter?
It works well in transitional seasons; pair it with tights and ankle boots to extend its use into cooler months.
How should I clean the lace-up detail?
Use a mesh laundry bag during machine washing to protect the delicate lace-up components.
Is the bodice adjustment flexible?

Troubleshooting
Lace-up strings become loose during wear
Ensure the laces are tied in a secure double knot before leaving home, or tuck the loose ends inside the garment after tying.
Elasticated cuffs feel too tight
Gently stretch the elastic by hand or wear the sleeves pushed up toward your forearms for a more relaxed, comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the floral denim, it is recommended to wash the dress inside out on a cold, gentle cycle to prevent premature fading. Because of the delicate lace-up back, consider placing the garment in a mesh laundry bag to prevent the strings from tangling or catching on other items in the drum. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can shrink the denim or damage the elasticated cuffs. Always check the internal tag for specific fabric care instructions provided by Dorothy Perkins to ensure longevity. When styling, this dress pairs best with neutral accessories so the floral print remains the focal point.
