Fabric & Care
80% Cotton 20% Viscose
We recommend hand washing in warm water using a non biological powder or liquid for any cottons with beading or crystals on, to preserve the detail and quality of our cotton clothes.
This cotton has a slight crinkle which may appear to shrink if you had dried in an airing cupboard or in direct heat. for best results, press or iron when slightly damp using a steam iron and your kaftan will spring back to length. Avoid ironing on necklines or areas with crystals or sequins.
When hand washing cotton beach dresses or cotton kaftans, as with all dark dyed and hand dyed fabrics, some colour may wash out which is more apparent when hand washing. Wash in lukewarm water. Rinse in cold water. Colour will only run if you have used hot water over 40* and if you have used a biological detergent which may contain a stain removing or bleaching agent.
Remove excess water and then hang dry immediately, always reshape whilst damp. Test any stain removers on the inside of coloured fabrics first. We suggest gentle baby wipes to gently remove stains, always test first. If you are washing your items on holiday, please rinse and drip dry in the shower and dry in the shade as direct sunlight may reduce the colour on the wet garment.
Do not machine wash. Do not spin in a machine to remove excess water as this will make the cotton fabric compact and appear to shrink. Excess heat in a tumble dryer and washing machine may shrink your garment.

Why the Drop Waist Works for Beach Dresses
Among our most loved bloused beach dresses, the Paloma's clever drop waist creates the illusion of a longer, leaner silhouette, gently skimming the hips and tummy while the bloused bodice adds graceful volume above. A flattering V-neck back slims the bust, and the gold embroidery and sequin detail around the neckline means fuller figures can wear this look with complete confidence, without needing to size up. Whether you're poolside in Marbella or exploring the cobbled streets of Santorini, this dress moves beautifully with you.
Resort Wear Designed for Real Life
Crafted by Lindsey Brown luxury resort wear, the Paloma is as versatile as it is elegant. Equally at home on warm summer days in the garden as it is on a Caribbean cruise or a Seychelles beach, this black designer beach dress is a wardrobe essential for the discerning traveller. Pair with sandals and a wide-brimmed hat for effortless resort style, or dress up with heels for an evening out. Available in sizes XSmall to XLarge. We also have larger sizes through to 2XL and 3XL.

Brilliant service
"What a pleasure to deal with a company that actually puts its customers first. The cover-up dress was absolutely gorgeous and fitted perfectly but the service was 2nd to none. I wasn’t sure of the size I was and they actually sent me two while only charging for one. . how often does that happen, never, thank you so much for a beautiful dress plus amazing service. I am waiting to order the silk blouson when it is in stock!"

Exceptional customer service and product
"Blown away with my purchase , I’m only 5ft 3 and the beach dress is a perfect length and the embellishment is beautiful. Kim my personal shopper assigned was outstanding throughout the process. Comes with care details too which is fabulous. Garments are very true to size too relaxed fit due to nature of item but true to size so all in all perfect"

"I have only given a great option because everything I purchased is Christmas presents and therefore they are left wrapped to give as a gift. I just peeked quickly to see which item was a gift for which person. Once these have been received I will be able to leave far more accurate feedback."
