To preserve the quality of your Curve & Culture piece:

• Dry clean only — recommended for embellished and embroidered styles
• If hand washing: cold water, gentle detergent, do not wring
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight
• Iron on low heat through a pressing cloth; avoid direct contact with embellishments
• Store in the dust bag provided to protect beadwork and fabric

Colours may appear slightly different due to monitor and screen settings. Embellishments, embroidery, and print placements may vary slightly from the images shown — each piece is handcrafted and minor variation is a natural characteristic, not a fault.

Our models are UK size 18–22. All products are shown on real plus-size bodies to give you an accurate representation of how garments look and fit.
