Penelope Lounge Dress - Cotton - Floret Blue

As part of our commitment to transparency, we would like to inform you about a characteristic of our boutique fabric production process. Our fabrics are primarily printed using rotary screen print machines, which may result in a slight disparity of up to 10% between each production run. This means that we cannot guarantee that every piece will be exactly the same colour. This is a natural outcome of the printing process and should be taken into consideration when placing orders for multiple pieces.

OUR FABRICATIONS

We endeavour to use natural fibres when crafting our garments, which are highlighted below. These selections provide maximum breathability and softness, while acting gentler on the environment. Our washing instructions are provided below, followed by insights into the unique characteristics of each fabric blend we offer.

FABRIC PRINT & COLOUR INFO

As part of our commitment to transparency, we would like to inform you about a characteristic of our boutique fabric production process. Our fabrics are primarily printed using rotary screen print machines, which may result in a slight disparity of up to 10% between each production run. This means that we cannot guarantee that every piece will be the same colour. This is a natural outcome of the printing process and should be taken into consideration when placing orders for multiple pieces.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

We have applied uniform washing instructions across all of our fabrics as they are all naturally derived fibres. We recommend the wash and care directions below to maintain your Piyama’s longevity.

Cold, Gentle, machine wash

We suggest to separate for first wash

If there is any trim / lace please use a lingerie wash bag

Hang dry in shade

Iron on cotton setting if required

Do not bleach

RAYON

Our signature soft, buttery Rayon has been a staple in our collection since the beginning. Rayon is a textile made from regenerated cellulose fibres, derived from wood pulp, known for its softness, draping qualities, and ability to mimic the texture of natural fibres like cotton and silk. We pre-shrink our rayon prior to cutting it.

COTTON

Our 100% Cotton is crafted solely from pure plant fibres renowned for their breathability, softness, comfort, and durability. We apply additional softener to our cotton during the washing process to enhance the buttery hand-feel. 

COTTON MODAL BLEND

Cotton modal is a 50 / 50% composition, made from natural cotton fibres and sustainably sourced modal fibres. Modal is a type of textile made from cellulose fibres extracted from beech trees, prized for its softness, smooth texture, and moisture-wicking properties. 

100% TENCEL™ LYOCELL

TENCEL™ is the trademarked name for the fibre Lyocell. Lyocell fibres are originally derived from wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed forests and are also biodegradable. Our 100% Lyocell is lightweight, breathable and buttery soft, making it an ideal fabric for our sleep garments.  

LYOCELL LINEN

Lyocell Linen is a blend of 50% TENCEL™ Lyocell and 50% Cotton with a seamless linen dobby weave texture. Lightweight, breathable and soft against the skin. It’s a versatile fabric as the linen-look weight and texture can transport our garments from night to day.

Changes to Order

We'll do our best to accommodate your request, but please understand that once an order has been confirmed, modifications may not be possible. Reasons for this are customer service hours, and that our warehouse is third party. Please carefully check the details are correct before payment.

Order notes / gift card messages

As we partner with a third party warehouse, we are unable to adjust your orders to write personalised gift messages. Please consider this prior to ordering. 

Signature waiving (International customers)

We strongly advise against authorising a signature release on international deliveries. As soon as the signature is released, we or the courier are not liable for lost or stolen parcels; ie no claim can be pursued. Please carefully consider this before authorising a signature release, parcel theft is a serious issue. 

Wedding / Important Event delivery deadlines

To be safe, we suggest ordering a minimum of 12 business days prior to your wedding date or date required. This will allow a safe buffer for any unexpected shipping delays. Most of the time DHL Express stick to reliable time frames, however on occasion, unexpected courier or customs delays occur, which are outside our control

Please read the terms below before lodging your return.  

IMPORTANT INFO

• We do not cover return shipping costs. We only accept returns back to our Australian office and this can be costly. Please consider all info below prior to ordering.
• Recommendation: Bridal orders / bundle orders. If you are unfamiliar with our sizing, we suggest to order 1 "test" size first before placing your main order. This minimizes the need to return, as shipping costs are expensive. We are happy to extend the bundle discount to your original (test) order if you choose this option [if orders are made within 30 days of each other]. Please email admin@piyama.com.au with both order numbers to request a retrospective discount. 

Returns

Our policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since the dispatch date of your purchase, unfortunately we cannot accept a return. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused / unwashed, with tags still attached, and in original condition. It must also be in the original packaging. The customer is responsible for return postage costs to Australia. 

Once the return is received into our office, please allow 3 working days for processing. If you have any queries please contact admin@piyama.com.au.

Bridal Orders - Test Order for sizing first

We do not offer exchanges / returns / refunds on any SALE ITEMS. These are final clearance. 

Return Shipping Costs (USA only)

There are 2 shipping options for our US customers when returning.

Exchanges
