Caribbean Dress-Red Eyelet

Hand Wash Only

I was pretty happy with the dress when it first arrived, it fit as expected and I liked it, but when I went to wash it I checked the care tag and saw that it said hand wash only. I was surprised that a $82 cotton dress couldn't even be washed cold on delicate cycle and hung to dry. That was an immediate red flag of low quality. I wondered if the hand wash care instructions had been in the dress description and I just didn't notice, but there are no care instructions in the description on the website. I knew I wasn't going to take the time to hand wash a maxi dress so I decided to take a chance and wash it by itself in cold water on delicate cycle and hang it to dry. It did fade some, but I still like the color. It did shrink some too which is disappointing as it is too short across the bust now. For this price I really was expecting good enough quality cotton that it could be gently machine washed and air dried as I have many similar cotton dresses that I clean this way without any issues. I think they should add the care info in the description as that may affect a person's decision to purchase the dress.

I absolutely love this dress!! Normally long dresses drown me because im 5’1 and it fits perfectly!
