Checks & Daubs Sailor Dress

Style

Ahoy there! Our new button-down Sailor Dress has a distinct, flattering collar and a relaxed fit to suit everyone. 

About the Print & Fabric

Sometimes simple is best!  Reminiscent of a hand-drawn game of noughts and crosses or draughts, this charming and softly graphic print has a grown-up vintage feeling. Stitched in a soft, mid-weight cotton.

This piece was block-printed, cut, stitched and finished entirely with our close partners in Jaipur. Each design is produced in small batches of around 30-50 pieces to ensure exclusivity and complete control and care in production.

All our Daydress garments and homewares are produced in small batches using techniques and textiles which place them miles away from the world of fast fashion.

These items require special care; Looked after properly, they will last a lifetime but please read your care label and the advice below carefully before washing your Daydress for the first time!

Darker and pigment rich prints can be delicately dry-cleaned to preserve their colour. If your product is dry-clean only this will be indicated on your care label. 

For all other Daydress garments you can machine-wash these at home on a short, cold cycle for delicates. For best results gently dab away marks before you wash and use natural detergent (one that doesn't contain bleach/lighteners).

Do not leave damp in the machine overnight!

Use a medium iron on the reverse or, we love using a small hand-steamer (Propress or The Steamery do a good one).  Just slip it between the lining and outer layers for a great finish or to freshen up the garment between washes.

Please note that the block-print on the under-arm area of dresses can be affected by perspiration and deodorant and the friction which naturally occurs whilst wearing.
