Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Cosmo Dress is designed to be both beach-ready and perfectly wearable for everyday life because it’s made from airy organic cotton voile that breathes in warm weather, and its classic shirt-dress silhouette with a side vent and softly structured lantern sleeves lets you move comfortably whether you’re strolling the boardwalk or chasing kids at the park. Delicate lace, pintuck details, and a stand collar with picot trim give it an elevated, put-together look without trying too hard. This makes it ideal for stylish women who want effortless pieces that transition from daytime adventures to casual evening plans. Note that the voile is lightweight and can be slightly sheer in bright sun, so you may prefer a slip or layer for full coverage.
The Cosmo Dress generally runs true to size. It has a classic, slightly relaxed fit designed for ease: the chest pocket and side vent with 3-color tape add mobility, and the softly structured lantern sleeves keep the shape without being restrictive. We offer a full size range so most customers will find their normal size fits as expected. If you prefer a looser, breezier feel for layering or want extra room through the bust, consider sizing up one; if you like a more tailored silhouette, stick with your usual size. For very formal, fitted looks you may want to size down and tailor for a closer fit.
Wash gently to preserve the delicate lace and pintuck details. Hand wash or use a cold, gentle machine cycle inside a mesh bag with mild detergent, avoid bleach and harsh chemicals, and reshape while damp. Air dry flat or hang to dry out of direct sun to prevent fading and shrinkage, and if needed, press on low heat from the reverse side or steam to refresh pintucks and soften fabric. The dress is organic cotton voile and benefits from gentle care rather than high heat tumble drying which can stress trims. These steps keep the dress looking crisp and extend the life of the delicate trims for busy women who want low-fuss maintenance with polished results.

    Dress

    Went by your size guide so I ordered a small but is too big..had to pay postage to get it here & was told I would have to pay postage to send it back and then pay postage again to have a new size sent...that adds too much to the price to deal with

    not for me

    Loved the color and the soft fabric. The length worked for me as well, but the cap sleeve did not. It felt like a hospital gown.

    Such a fun dress!

    I usually avoid horizontal stripes, but this was so cute I wanted to try it. It's just as cute on as it is in pictures. The fabric is light and stretchy and perfect for the warmer weather.
