Product Information
Full details
The Hot Squash Ruched Scuba Midi Dress is designed for women seeking a blend of professional elegance and everyday comfort. It is an ideal go-to for workwear or sophisticated social settings, offering a body-conscious silhouette that remains flattering thanks to strategic ruching. While the scuba fabric provides excellent structure and drape, potential buyers should note that the form-fitting nature of the design requires careful consideration of undergarments for the smoothest possible finish.

FAQs
Is the fabric heavy?
The scuba fabric is designed to be substantial enough to provide structure and coverage, but it remains breathable for comfortable all-day wear.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Yes, but you should use a delicate cycle with cold water and avoid the tumble dryer to preserve the shape and elasticity.
How does the size 18 fit?
This garment is true to size but features a bodycon fit; if you prefer a looser feel, consider how the fabric hugs your specific curves.
Is the dress suitable for winter?
The scuba material offers more warmth than traditional jersey, making it an excellent choice for autumn and winter when paired with hosiery or a coat.
Does the ruching affect the length?
The ruching is integrated into the side seams, which adds texture to the length but does not significantly shorten the midi-cut design.
Troubleshooting
Visible lines from undergarments
Wear seamless, laser-cut underwear or shapewear to ensure a smooth transition under the body-conscious fabric.
Fabric looks slightly wrinkled
Use a handheld steamer on a low setting to gently remove any creases, avoiding direct contact with the iron plate.
Static cling
Lightly mist the inner lining with water or apply a small amount of anti-static spray to the interior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the scuba fabric, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle in cold water or hand wash. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat drying, as this can degrade the elasticity of the cuffs and the structure of the scuba material. For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger to prevent shoulder dimpling. When styling, the midi length pairs exceptionally well with pointed-toe pumps or ankle boots, ensuring a professional and polished appearance across various settings.
