Questions women ask about the Barbara:

Does this dress have a lining? Yes, the Barbara has a soft lining throughout — it sits comfortably against the skin and does not feel see-through, even in bright sunlight.

How does the chiffon feel against the skin? Soft and lightweight. It does not scratch or irritate. The fabric has been chosen specifically for all-day comfort in warm weather.

I am usually between sizes — should I size up or down? We always recommend sizing up when in doubt. The Barbara is designed with a relaxed fit, and a size up will give you the most comfortable and flattering result.

Will the colours fade after washing? With proper care — hand wash cold or gentle machine wash, hang to dry — the colours hold well. We do not recommend tumble drying as this can affect the fabric over time.

Is this dress suitable for petite women? The midi length falls below the knee on most body types. If you are shorter than 5'3", the dress may fall closer to the ankle, which many customers find equally elegant.

Can I wear this dress for a special occasion or is it only casual? Both. The Barbara works beautifully for garden parties, summer weddings, family gatherings, or a relaxed dinner out. Add a cardigan or blazer for a more polished look.
