How does the sizing run for the Nancybird Delphi Dress? Should I size up or down?

The Nancybird Delphi Dress fits true to size. We recommend choosing your usual dress size—8, 10, or 12—to get the best fit. Since the dress features delicate shirring and waist gathering, it accommodates your shape comfortably without needing to size up or down.

What makes the fabric and design of the Delphi Dress special?

The dress is crafted from 100% GOTS Organic Cotton Seersucker, which gives it a lightweight, textured feel perfect for warmer days. Plus, it features exclusive 'Night Herons' artwork by Wendy McDonald, adding a unique, artistic touch. The shirred front bodice and tailored shirt collar combine classic and feminine elements for a flattering silhouette.

What's the best way to care for the Nancybird Delphi Dress to keep it looking fresh?

To maintain the dress's quality, gently machine wash it cold inside out with similar colors. Avoid bleach or soaking. Line dry flat in the shade to preserve the fabric and colors. If needed, warm iron on the reverse side. Avoid tumble drying, but the dress is also dry cleanable for convenience.
