Product Information

Full details

The Apricot Colour Block Retro Knit Mini Dress is designed for fashion-forward adults who value a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern comfort. Its primary benefit is the flattering fit-and-flare silhouette that combines a soft knit fabric with a stylish pleated skirt, making it a versatile choice for both casual outings and social events. A key caveat to consider is that the lightweight knit material requires careful handling during washing to maintain its shape and contrast trim integrity.

FAQs

What material is the dress made from?

The dress is made from a soft, lightweight knit fabric designed for comfort and ease of movement.

Is this dress suitable for cold weather?

It is best suited for transitional weather. In colder months, it can be styled with thermal tights and a coat.

How should I store the dress to keep it in good condition?

It is recommended to fold the dress and store it in a drawer to prevent the knit fabric from stretching on a hanger.

Does the dress fit true to size?

Yes, this garment follows standard UK sizing guidelines for a size 16.

Can the contrast trims be ironed?

Use a cool iron with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid melting the contrast trim materials.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging on jewelry

Avoid wearing rough-textured bracelets or snag-prone necklaces; pull the loose thread gently from the inside to re-integrate it.

Pleats losing definition

Use a garment steamer on a low setting from a distance to gently reset the pleats without damaging the knit fibers.

Static buildup

Lightly mist the dress with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray from a distance of at least 12 inches.

Pros and Cons

  • Features high-quality contrast detailing

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Apricot dress, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Washing: Hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a laundry mesh bag to prevent the knit from snagging.
  2. Drying: Avoid tumble drying; lay the garment flat on a clean towel to air dry, preserving the shape of the pleated skirt.
  3. Storage: Store folded rather than on a hanger to prevent the weight of the fabric from stretching the knit over time.
  4. Compatibility: The dress fits true to a UK size 16. It is designed to be worn on its own or layered under a structured coat for extra warmth.
