FAQs
What does 'petite' mean in the context of this dress?
'Petite' refers to sizing designed for individuals with a shorter torso and shorter proportions overall. This typically means a shorter length in the sleeves, body, and hem compared to standard sizing.
What material is the dress made from?
The dress is made from a cotton-rich denim fabric, offering durability and comfort.
Can I wear this dress in different seasons?
While ideal for warmer weather due to its short sleeves, it can be layered with tights, boots, and a jacket or cardigan for cooler seasons.
How do I style this dress for a more formal occasion?
You can dress it up by pairing it with heeled sandals or wedges, statement jewellery, and a clutch bag. Adding a belt can also enhance a more polished look.
Are the chest pockets functional?
Yes, the two chest pockets feature button-flap detail and are functional.
What is the recommended way to clean the dress?
It is recommended to machine wash cold with like colours on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
Does the dress come with a belt?
The dress features belt loops, suggesting that a belt can be added, but a belt is not included with the dress.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. As this is a petite fit, consider if a standard fit might be more appropriate for your proportions. The button-through front allows some adjustability.
Colour fading quickly
Wash the dress inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Consider air-drying instead of tumble-drying.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Tumble dry on a low heat setting for a short period to soften the fabric. Avoid over-drying. Wearing the garment can also help to break in the denim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
This product is a garment and requires no technical setup. It is designed for adult female wearers. To maintain the quality and appearance of your denim dress, it is recommended to follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colours. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry for best results and to minimize shrinkage.
