FAQs
Is this dress suitable for machine washing?
Yes, but always check the inner garment label first, as the care requirements may differ slightly between the cotton and polyester versions.
Does the dress have pockets?
No, this specific model is designed for a clean, streamlined silhouette and does not feature pockets.
How should I style this for colder weather?
The dress pairs perfectly with thick tights, heeled boots, and a structured jacket or trench coat.
Is the material stretchy?
The waist is highly elasticated due to the shirring, which allows for a flexible fit across different body shapes.
How do I choose between the cotton and polyester versions?
Cotton is typically more breathable and matte, while polyester tends to be more durable and resistant to wrinkling. Choose based on your climate and personal preference for texture.
Troubleshooting
Creasing after storage
Lightly steam the garment or hang it in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to release wrinkles without direct heat.
Shirred waist feels too tight
Ensure the waist is positioned at the narrowest part of your torso; the elastic is designed to stretch but works best when placed correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment is available in both cotton and polyester variants, check the care label inside your specific dress before laundering. Generally, machine wash on a delicate cycle with like colours to preserve the floral print and fabric integrity. Avoid bleach and tumble drying to prevent shrinking or distortion of the shirred waist area. To maintain the shape, hang the dress to dry and use a cool iron if necessary. Ensure you verify the fabric composition of your specific size (UK 8-18) to follow the correct washing instructions.
