Everything about Pretty Pixie organic cotton & Linen dresses, co-ord sets, and jumpsuits — sizing, shipping, returns, and more
Sizing & Fit
Most searchedUse a soft measuring tape and take three key measurements — bust, waist, and hips — in centimetres while standing upright. Compare with the table below:
| Size | Bust (cm) | Waist (cm) | Hip (cm) | UK Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 80–84 | 62–66 | 88–92 | 6–8 |
| S | 84–88 | 66–70 | 92–96 | 8–10 |
| M | 88–93 | 70–75 | 96–101 | 10–12 |
| L | 93–99 | 75–81 | 101–107 | 12–14 |
| XL | 99–105 | 81–87 | 107–113 | 14–16 |
| XXL | 105–112 | 87–94 | 113–120 | 16–18 |
If your measurements fall between two sizes, the right choice depends on your body type and preferred fit:
- Size up if you're larger in the hips or bust, or if you prefer a relaxed, flowing silhouette.
- Size down if you're proportionally smaller and prefer a closer, more fitted look.
- For co-ord sets and jumpsuits, always size to your largest measurement (usually hips or bust).
- For wrap-style and belted dresses, the tie gives you natural flexibility — going true to size works well.
Yes — Pretty Pixie dresses are designed to fit true to Indian standard sizing. Our organic cotton has a very slight natural stretch but is not a stretch fabric. Here's what to expect by silhouette:
- Mini dresses: Fitted — size up one if you prefer more room through the hips.
- Midi dresses: True to size with a relaxed waist — comfortably fits most body types in standard size.
- Maxi dresses: True to size; A-line cuts are very forgiving across sizes.
- Co-ord sets: True to size; tops and bottoms are matched and sized together.
- Jumpsuits: True to size; if you're tall (above 5'7"), length may run slightly short at the ankle.
- Petite (under 5'2"): Midi and mini dresses work best. Fit-and-flare and empire-waist silhouettes elongate the frame. Avoid very long maxis unless you plan to hem.
- Tall (above 5'7"): Maxi and midi lengths are ideal. Mini dresses will sit higher on the thigh — style with confidence or choose a midi instead.
- Curvy / plus size (L–XXL): All our styles are designed to flatter curves. Wrap dresses, A-line midis, and belted maxis work particularly well. Our floral co-ord sets with elasticated waistbands offer extra flexibility.
Products & Fabric
PopularAll Pretty Pixie garments are crafted from 100% organic cotton — grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. Our cotton is soft, breathable, and kind to skin, making it ideal for India's warm and humid climate.
- Weight: Light to medium — not see-through, not heavy.
- Feel: Soft with a slight natural texture; becomes even softer after washing.
- Stretch: Minimal natural give — not a stretch fabric.
- Certification: SEDEX certified ethical manufacturing from our Gurugram studio.
Our organic cotton is woven at a medium weight and is not see-through in most colours, including white, cream, and pastels. However, we always recommend:
- Wearing a nude or skin-toned undergarment under white or very pale dresses in strong sunlight.
- Checking the individual product page — if a style uses a lighter or sheerer fabric, it will be noted in the description.
Pretty Pixie uses reactive dyes which bond deeply with organic cotton fibres — this means our signature floral prints retain their vibrancy wash after wash.
- Always wash in cold water (30°C or below) to lock in colour.
- Turn the garment inside out before washing for maximum print protection.
- Avoid direct sunlight when drying — air dry in shade.
- Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
Pretty Pixie produces in small, ethical batches — this means some styles sell out permanently. However, we do restock our best-selling prints in new seasons.
- Use the "Notify Me" button on any sold-out product page to receive a restock alert by email.
- Follow us on Instagram — restock announcements go live there first.
- WhatsApp our team to ask about a specific style — we can check inventory or suggest a similar design.

Care & Longevity
Care guide- 🌡️ Wash in cold water (30°C or below) — hot water weakens cotton fibres.
- 🧴 Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent — harsh detergents fade prints.
- 🔄 Turn garments inside out before washing to protect floral prints.
- 🚫 Do not bleach — ever. Bleach damages organic cotton and destroys colour.
- 🌬️ Air dry in shade — direct sunlight causes print fading and shrinkage.
- 🔥 Iron on medium heat, ideally on reverse side or with a cloth between iron and garment.
- 👜 Store folded, not on hangers — cotton stretches if hung for long periods.
Our organic cotton is pre-washed and pre-shrunk before cutting and sewing. When cared for correctly (cold wash, air dry in shade), minimal to no shrinkage should occur.
