FAQs
What is the length of the dress?
The dress measures 128cm in length, falling as a midi-style on most adult frames.
Is the material stretchy?
The main cotton fabric is not stretchy, but the shirred back panel provides flexibility for a comfortable fit around the bodice.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Yes, but we recommend a gentle, cold cycle inside a laundry bag to protect the embroidery.
Does this dress have pockets?
Yes, it is designed with practical side pockets integrated into the tiered skirt.
What size should I choose?
The dress is available in various UK sizes. The shirred back allows for some adjustment, but we recommend following standard UK sizing for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
The zipper feels stuck or difficult to pull.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the track. If stiff, rub a small amount of clear candle wax along the zipper teeth.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage.
Lightly mist the dress with water and hang it in a steamy bathroom, or use a handheld garment steamer on a low setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Cara Dress is crafted from delicate embroidered cotton, proper maintenance is essential to longevity. We recommend washing the garment inside out, ideally in a mesh laundry bag, to prevent the embroidery from snagging on other items. Use a cold, gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying; instead, hang the dress to dry in a shaded area to prevent the floral patterns from fading. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and press on the reverse side of the embroidery to avoid flattening the texture.
