{"product_id":"frankie-tiered-hem-red-pink-check-shirt-dress","title":"Frankie Tiered Hem Shirt Dress in Red and Pink Check","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrankie in pink gingham. The best seller just turned up the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Frankie is a pink gingham shirt dress made from 100% cotton poplin, in a red and pink check, true to size. It has a collared button-front placket, short gathered sleeves, a shaped waist, and a tiered hem that gathers into fullness partway down the skirt. A long self-tie belt, cut from the same fabric, can be worn cinched in or left loose. It has side pockets, and it's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe waist is shaped into the dress itself, so Frankie holds its form with or without the belt. Tie it in for definition, or let it go for something easier through the body. Either way, the tiered hem takes over, dropping into a fuller skirt that swings when you walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRed and pink together shouldn't work, and that's exactly why it does. At the back, the yoke is gathered for movement through the shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Frankie run true to size, and which size should I take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Frankie runs true to size. The waist is shaped into the dress itself, so the fit holds with or without the belt. Our model is 1.70m and wears a size 32. Take your usual Signature by Des size, and use the self-tie belt to adjust the waist to your preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fabric is it made from and how does it wear?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Frankie is made from 100% cotton poplin in a red and pink check. Poplin is crisp, smooth and lightweight, so it breathes well in warm weather and holds its shape through the shaped waist and tiered hem. It softens nicely with every wear and wash over the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I wash and care for it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand wash only, and wash dark colours separately. We suggest washing by hand to ensure the longevity of your garment, because a lot of care went into making it. Treated gently, the Frankie will hold its colour and shape season after season, ready whenever you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can I wear it with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTie the belt in for a defined waist, or leave it loose and let the tiered hem do the work. Wear the pink gingham shirt dress with espadrilles and red earrings for a long lunch, or trainers and a straw bag for the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Frankie is made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team. Like every Signature by Des style, it's produced in a limited run, so once the red and pink check is gone, it's gone. Free delivery applies on orders over R1500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I have to wear the belt for the dress to hold its shape?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The waist is shaped into the dress itself, so the Frankie holds its form with or without the belt tied in. The belt adds definition if you want it, but it's not needed for fit, so you can wear it loose on hot days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Signature by Des","offers":[{"title":"32","offer_id":50915529982117,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"34","offer_id":50915530014885,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"36","offer_id":50915530047653,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"38","offer_id":50915530080421,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":50915530113189,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/6078\/files\/261019_SBD_Studio_LR-640A.jpg?v=1793040160","url":"https:\/\/signaturebydes.co.za\/products\/frankie-tiered-hem-red-pink-check-shirt-dress","provider":"Signature by Des","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
