• Fabric Feel: Natural, breathable cotton with a soft, comfortable hand feel against your skin. Cotton is one of nature's most perfect fabrics—it regulates temperature by wicking moisture away from your body in heat and providing gentle insulation in cooler weather.

• Why 100% Cotton Matters: Natural cotton is hypoallergenic, gentle on sensitive skin, and environmentally friendly compared to synthetic fabrics. It's durable, easy to care for, and becomes more comfortable over time. Cotton also takes dye beautifully, maintaining color vibrancy through repeated washing when cared for properly.

This sleeve style is flattering because it draws attention upward, balances proportions, and provides coverage while remaining breezy and comfortable. The sleeves hit around elbow length, perfect for warm weather while still offering arm coverage.
• Stretch: Minimal stretch—natural cotton has slight natural give but this is woven fabric, not stretchy knit. The relaxed fit provides comfort through cut and design rather than fabric elasticity.
• Opacity: Fully opaque cotton fabric provides complete coverage—no concerns about sheerness or transparency.
• Weight: Medium-weight cotton—substantial enough to drape beautifully and provide coverage, light enough to remain comfortable in warm weather. Not thin summer gauze, not heavy winter weight, just perfectly balanced year-round cotton.
• Care Instructions: Machine wash cold with like colors on gentle cycle, or opt for professional dry cleaning for best longevity. To minimize shrinkage, wash in cold water and air dry flat or hang to dry—avoid high heat in washer or dryer. Cotton may shrink 3-5% with first wash if exposed to hot water or high dryer heat. Iron on medium-high heat while slightly damp for crisp appearance, or embrace the natural slightly rumpled cotton aesthetic. The beauty of cotton is that it actually improves with age, becoming softer and more comfortable with each gentle wash. Imported.

Styling Q&A

Q: How long does shipping take?

A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.

Q: I normally wear a US size 10—what size should I order?

A: This dress follows standard US sizing, so you should order a Large (which accommodates US 8/10). Check the bust measurement in our size chart to confirm—42.9 inches for size Large. If you're between sizes or concerned about cotton shrinkage, you might consider XL for a more relaxed fit.

Q: Will this 100% cotton dress shrink in the wash?

A: Cotton can shrink 3-5% with first wash if exposed to hot water or high dryer heat. To minimize shrinkage, always wash in cold water and air dry (lay flat or hang). If you're concerned, consider sizing up or follow care instructions meticulously. Many cotton lovers actually prefer to air dry their cotton garments not just to prevent shrinkage, but because it extends the life of the fabric.

Q: What undergarments work best with this dress?

A: The opaque cotton fabric works well with regular undergarments. Depending on the dress color and your preference, wear seamless nude or matching underwear. A regular bra works fine—the flounce sleeves provide coverage so you don't need to worry about straps showing. For additional smoothing, seamless shapewear shorts or a slip can be worn underneath, though the relaxed fit makes this optional.

Q: Is this dress appropriate for work, or is it too casual?

A: The ruffle details and relaxed fit make this dress best suited for casual settings rather than corporate offices. However, it could work for creative workplaces, casual Fridays, work-from-home video calls (with blazer), or business casual environments with relaxed dress codes. For truly professional settings, the ruffles might be considered too decorative, but for most casual-to-business-casual situations, it's perfectly appropriate.

Q: How do I care for cotton to keep it looking new?

A: Wash in cold water on gentle cycle, turn inside out to protect the outer fabric, and air dry when possible. If you must use the dryer, use low heat and remove promptly to minimize wrinkles. Iron while slightly damp for easiest pressing. Avoid chlorine bleach which can weaken cotton fibers over time. Store hanging or neatly folded. Quality cotton actually improves with proper care, becoming softer and more comfortable while maintaining its integrity.

Q: Can I wear this dress in summer, or will cotton be too hot?

A: Cotton is actually one of the BEST fabrics for hot weather! Natural cotton breathes beautifully, wicks moisture away from your body, and regulates temperature naturally. Unlike synthetic fabrics that can trap heat and moisture, cotton keeps you cooler and more comfortable in heat. The ruffle hem and flounce sleeves also allow air circulation. This dress is ideal for summer.
