FAQs
What makes the fabric 'crinkle'?
The fabric is treated or woven in a way that creates a permanently textured, crinkled appearance, which means it doesn't need to be ironed and resists creasing.
Is this dress suitable for all seasons?
This dress is best suited for warmer weather due to its floaty style and material. It can be layered with a jacket or cardigan for cooler evenings.
How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Joe Browns and compare it with your own measurements. This dress features a shirred bodice which offers some flexibility in fit.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water. Always air dry to preserve the fabric's crinkle texture.
What occasions is this dress best for?
It's ideal for holidays, beach trips, casual outings, and relaxed summer events. The vibrant print makes it stand out.
Does the dress run true to size?
While the shirred bodice offers some give, it's always best to consult the brand's specific size chart for the most accurate fit, as sizing can vary.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after washing
The crinkle fabric is designed to have texture. Gently stretch the garment while damp and allow it to air dry naturally. Do not iron at high heat.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are washing in cold water and air drying only. Avoid heat from washing machines and tumble dryers.
Elasticated neckline feels too tight
The shirring offers some stretch. Gently stretch the fabric around the neckline while damp and allow it to air dry to see if it adjusts. If persistent, consider if the size ordered is appropriate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This dress requires no 'setup' as it is a ready-to-wear garment.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: To maintain the integrity of the crinkle fabric, it is recommended to wash this dress on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the dress. Hanging it on a line or laying it flat is ideal. Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat can damage the crinkle texture and potentially cause shrinkage.
- Ironing: The crinkle fabric is designed to be worn with its natural texture. Ironing is generally not required. If absolutely necessary, use a very low heat setting and iron on the reverse side, but this is typically not needed and can flatten the crinkle effect.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Hanging is preferable to folding to minimize any potential creasing.
