FAQs

Can I wear this dress in the winter?

Yes, you can transition it for cooler months by pairing it with opaque tights, a warm cardigan, and ankle boots.

Is the fabric stretchy?

The dress uses a lightweight viscose fabric which offers a fluid drape; while not highly elastic, the gathered bodice allows for a comfortable, flexible fit.

How should I clean this dress?

We recommend following the care label instructions, typically involving a gentle machine wash or hand wash to protect the lace and fabric quality.

What shoes look best with this mini dress?

Ballet flats provide a relaxed daytime look, while ankle boots or low heels are excellent for a slightly more elevated, evening-ready appearance.

Is the dress true to size?

The dress follows standard UK sizing; please refer to the size guide for a UK 12 or your specific variant to ensure the best fit around the bodice.

Troubleshooting

Lace-up back feels loose or insecure

Adjust the lace ties evenly through the eyelets to achieve your desired tension and ensure a secure fit before knotting.

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a low-heat steam setting or a cool iron to gently smooth out the viscose fabric. Avoid direct contact with high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Dorothy Perkins floral dress in optimal condition, always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Due to the viscose material and delicate lace-up back, it is generally recommended to wash on a gentle cycle or hand wash to preserve the fabric's integrity. Avoid harsh detergents and direct heat when drying to prevent shrinkage. For styling compatibility, this dress pairs best with understated jewelry to allow the floral pattern and back detailing to remain the focal point of your outfit.
