Product Insights
Orchid Cascade Mini-Dress Close-fitting bodice with no stretch, so size to your bust and waist measurements and size up if between sizes. Both the main fabric and the lining are 100% polyester. Lined areas are opaque; the hem and overlaid embroidery turn semi-sheer where the chiffon extends past the lining. The partially attached appliqué stands away from the chiffon and can catch on prong-set jewellery, chain straps, bracelets or bag hardware. Hand wash in cold water and dry in the shade; skip the machine and dryer.

- durability
- The partially attached appliqué stands away from the chiffon and can catch on prong-set jewellery, chain straps, bracelets or bag hardware.
- straps
- Adjustable spaghetti straps and a hidden centre-back zip make a strapless or multiway bra practical.
- closure
- Back features a hidden zip at centre back, vertical seams through the bodice and skirt, and adjustable metal sliders on each strap.
- comfort
- Lightweight and fluid for summer evenings, but both polyester layers limit breathability in long, hot daytime wear.
- silhouette

- Large orchid artwork cascades diagonally from the left shoulder area to the lower right front in light gray/white linework with pale yellow centres on black.

- care

- care
- Iron on the lowest heat with a pressing cloth if needed.
- care

- construction
- The full satiny lining provides opacity, reduces embroidery irritation against skin, and supports the bodice.

- care
- JW PEI generally recommends dry cleaning embellished dresses, but this dress's own care note specifies hand wash cold.
- fit
- Measure chest at widest point with arms at sides, natural waist at narrowest point, and hips at widest point standing with feet together.
