Soraya Blue Garden Linen Blend Dress

I already have the blue version of this dress, so knew that I had to get a size smaller. I am usually a 10, but size 8 is a better fit in this dress. The colours of orange, peach, splashes of teal blue are stunning! I know from previously having bought a size 10, that after washing it, you shouldn’t iron it. I made that mistake with the first one, and burnt a hole in the sleeve. I then had to purchase it in a size 8. I should have read the label, do not iron. If you do, even on a cooler heat, the crinkles partly go and you are left with a much larger, fuller amount of material and therefore too large a dress..it swam on me! So I now have the size 8 and after washing, you twist the dress and hold each end with large elastic bands to keep the crinkles looking as good as new. When you release the elastic bands it stays the size that you bought, not a size one or two larger. I hope that makes senses. I am very happy with my two dresses and love both as the colours of each are gorgeous.
