FAQs
Is the fabric stretchy?
The dress is made from polyester, which provides a comfortable, fluid drape, though it does not have the high-stretch recovery of spandex-blend fabrics.
Can I remove the scarf?
Yes, the scarf is detachable, allowing you to wear the dress with or without the added accessory.
What is the best way to clean this dress?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to ensure the longevity of the fabric and the shirred detailing.
Does this dress come in other sizes?
Yes, the dress is available in a range of UK sizes from 8 to 24 to accommodate different body types within the tall-fit category.
Is the dress suitable for weddings?
The floral pattern and maxi length make it a highly appropriate and elegant choice for weddings, garden parties, and evening dinners.
Does the v-neckline sit very low?
The v-neckline is designed to be refined and flattering; it provides a classic look that works well with necklaces but remains modest for most occasions.
Troubleshooting
Dress length feels too long
This item is designed for tall frames; consider using higher-heeled footwear or having the hem professionally shortened by a tailor.
Static cling in dry weather
Use a light anti-static spray on the inner lining or apply a small amount of fabric softener during the rinse cycle when washing.
Wrinkles after storage
Use a low-heat garment steamer to release wrinkles, keeping the steamer head at least two inches away from the floral fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Long Tall Sally dress in prime condition, always check the interior garment label for specific temperature settings. As the dress is made of polyester, it is generally machine washable on a gentle cycle, though hand-washing or using a mesh garment bag is recommended to protect the shirred sleeve details. When caring for the detachable scarf, it is best to wash it separately in a laundry bag to avoid snagging. Hang the dress to air dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and prevent unnecessary shrinkage or heat damage. Store the dress on a padded hanger to support the weight of the fabric and keep the shoulders from stretching.
