- Does the shirred bodice stretch?
- Yes. The smocked shirring is elasticated, so the bodice stretches over the bust and waist and pulls on without a zip.
- Is it lined?
- It is a single-layer 100% cotton dress with no separate lining, so it is light and cool but can be slightly sheer in bright light.
- What bra works with the ruffle straps?
- The straps are narrow and ruffled, so a strapless or multiway bra sits best underneath.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash at 30 degrees. Cotton gingham creases, so reshape and iron while slightly damp.
- How does it fit compared with other French Connection dresses?
- The shirring makes it more forgiving than fitted styles, but if you are full-busted consider sizing up for comfort.
- Where is the French Connection Rhodes Pop Gingham Ruffle Shirred Bodice Cotton Sundress cheapest?
- At French Connection, for $82.80, as of our latest check.
