Size and Fit

The fit of this shift style dress is regular due to the straight cut through the body. The accompanying jersey slip is a neater fit but has lots of stretch. Finishing above the knee the key measurements to check are the bust, hip and sleeve opening. We recommend you take your usual size.

All garments are measured flat (not on body) and then doubled (except the length) to calculate the total circumference. To work out what size will suit you best, flat measure an item that fits you well and use this as a guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.

Care Instructions

Main/Outer:

• Hand wash
• Do not bleach
• Do not tumble dry
• Cool iron
• Do not dry clean
• Wash dark colours separately
• Cold hand wash using eco-friendly detergents
• Do not soak, rub, wring or spin dry
• Drip dry in shade
• Iron on reverse
• The fabric used for this garment is viscose, made from the natural and renewable cellulose fibres of wood pulp. It has a delicate feel, it is softer than cotton and more springy than silk. Viscose is durable, it breathes well and is lovely to wear. The construction of all viscose fabrics result in unique properties that perform differently to other fabrics and require specific care.
• We recommend cold hand washing in a mild detergent. Only wash when required to reduce water consumption.
• Gently pull the garment back into shape and air dry, either flat or hanging, in the shade. After washing, viscose will appear to have shrunk and will have a coarse hand feel. Don’t worry! Once it is dry, use a warm steam iron on the reverse. The fabric will iron out easily and regain its shape, hand feel and fluidity.
• On the first wash, there may be a small variance in length measurements from 1 to 3cm which our production team take into account in the design.
