In the washing machine! Wash on the regular cycle with cold water, and just hang to dry.

Our garments are pre-washed so they should not run, BUT the first time you launder your dress at home, we recommend washing it in the machine on its own or with similar colors and hanging it to dry. Depending on the print/textile, color runs in the first wash can occur, though this is much more common if the garments are allowed to sit wet for an extended period of time. Find more info on our care page, here!

Yes! Many of our dresses are made from African wax print fabric, which often has a waxy outer coating that makes the fabric feel stiff at first. Our dresses are all pre-washed, but after a few more wears and washes at home, your dress will feel much softer and hang more naturally.  

With the exception of our linen-cotton blend dresses from India, all of our dresses are 100% cotton! We select our fabrics based on two equally important criteria: 1) quality of the fabric; and 2) how much we love the print. Because we’re always looking for interesting prints on long-lasting fabrics, we don't limit ourselves in terms of any one geographical origin or manufacturing tradition. The common “thread” in all of our fabrics is that each selection is high-quality cotton, with dyes that will not bleed, and prints that are both interesting and beautiful. Try a few; we think you’ll love them all!
