FAQs

What is Modal® (Tencel™)?

Modal® is a type of rayon fabric made from beechwood pulp. It is known for its softness, breathability, and resistance to shrinkage, contributing to the comfort and durability of the dress.

Is the dress suitable for formal occasions?

The Emily Waisted Dress is primarily designed for casual wear due to its fabric and style. While it can be dressed up with accessories, it is not intended for formal events.

How does the waisted fit work?

The dress is designed with a seam or cut at the natural waistline, which cinches in slightly to create a more defined and flattering silhouette compared to a straight-cut dress.

Can I wear this dress in warmer weather?

Yes, the cotton and modal blend is breathable, making it suitable for warmer weather. The three-quarter sleeves can be rolled up if desired.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress is described as above-ankle length. The exact measurement will vary slightly depending on the size purchased.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The pockets are in-seam, meaning they are integrated into the side seams. Their depth is generally sufficient for smaller items like keys or a slim wallet, but may be tight for larger smartphones.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears to have shrunk after washing

Ensure you are using a cool wash cycle and a low heat tumble dry setting. Avoid high heat when ironing. If significant shrinkage has occurred, consider air drying in the future.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Try using a fabric conditioner during the rinse cycle. Ensure the dress is dried on a low heat setting and ironed on a cool setting. Air drying can sometimes lead to a stiffer feel compared to tumble drying on low.

Pilling on the fabric surface

Pilling can occur with natural fiber blends. To minimize, wash the dress inside out on a gentle cycle. Avoid washing with abrasive materials. You can use a fabric shaver to gently remove any pills that form.
