No, the dress does not include a lining. The fabric is lightweight and semi-sheer, particularly in the white colorway. Wearing a slip underneath is strongly recommended for the white version. The rusty orange colorway is less sheer and generally fine without one.
The smocked waist band sits at the natural waist. For taller women, it may fall slightly lower than expected. The elastic waist accommodates a range of sizing, but the placement will vary with height.
This is a midi-to-maxi length dress, falling approximately between the knee and ankle. The hem is slightly asymmetric, shorter at the front and longer at the back. Side slits at the hem add ease of movement.
Cotton linen naturally develops some wrinkles with wear, which is part of the fabric's character. A light iron on medium heat will remove deeper creases if preferred. Most customers wear it with minimal pressing.
Sizes run from M to 4XL. The elasticated smocked waist accommodates some flexibility in fit. If you are between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for the most comfortable fit through the waist and skirt.
