How does the Nancybird Tathra Woven Dress fit, and what size should I choose?

The Nancybird Tathra Woven Dress in Raspberry Stripe is designed with a relaxed, smock-style fit—so it's easy-on and super comfortable. It fits true to size, but because the handwoven cotton has a naturally loose drape, it feels roomy without being boxy. If you like a relaxed fit, just go with your usual size. If you prefer things a little neater, you could size down. To help you feel confident, we provide flat garment measurements so you can compare with your favourite dress at home. Also, the handmade fabric might have slight variations, which adds to its unique charm. If you’re unsure, just let us know your measurements and we’re happy to check for you!

What does the fabric feel like, and is the dress comfortable for all-day wear?

Absolutely! The Tathra Woven Dress is crafted from 100% artisan handwoven cotton—it’s soft, breathable and lightweight, making it perfect for all-day comfort, especially in warmer weather. The fabric feels natural and gentle against the skin, unlike synthetic fibres. The relaxed smock silhouette, cap sleeve effect, and gathered skirt ensure you have freedom to move, while handy pockets add practical comfort. Many customers love how the dress keeps them cool and comfy for everything from casual outings to special occasions.

How do I care for my Nancybird Tathra Woven Dress to keep it looking its best?

To keep your dress bright and beautiful, we recommend a gentle cold machine wash inside out with similar colours. Avoid tumble drying—just lay it flat in the shade to dry so the handwoven cotton keeps its lovely texture and shape. If needed, iron on the reverse with a warm iron, and skip the bleach. The Tathra Dress is also dry cleanable if you wish. With a little gentle care, your raspberry stripe smock will stay stylish and comfortable season after season.
