Frequently asked questions

Sizing, fabric, washing and the mechanics of this site, in twelve answers.

Do you sell the clothes yourselves?

No. This is a catalogue site for the Simplee range. Every buy button opens the current listing at our retail partner in a new tab, and the cart, payment, delivery and returns all happen there. We keep the model write-ups, size notes and fabric care here.

How does Simplee sizing run?

S to XL, mapping roughly to US 4 through 18. Dresses run true with two exceptions: the bodycon sweater dresses run snug, and anything smocked has a size of stretch built in. Crewnecks are cut oversized on purpose; if you want a standard fit, go down one.

I am between two sizes. Which way do I go?

By cut. Velvet and bodycon: size by your bust measurement exactly. Smocked, empire and elastic waists: either size works, the smaller looks more deliberate. Rompers: the torso decides, so size up if you are over 5'8". Crewnecks: they are already roomy.

Velvet or chiffon for a wedding?

By the date on the invitation. October through February, velvet: it photographs richer in low light and does not need a shawl. April through September, chiffon or a smocked cotton blend: velvet in July is a mistake you make once.

Can I wear the white dresses to someone else’s wedding?

As a guest, no; the three whites in this catalogue read bridal enough to cause a scene. They get bought for courthouse ceremonies, bridal showers, graduation and vacation. For guesting, the same cuts come in navy, burgundy and florals.

Which dresses have pockets?

The boho maxi with pockets says so in its name, and several of the other maxi cuts have in-seam pockets deep enough for a phone. The product page for each model says either way; if the specs do not mention pockets, assume there are none.

How do I wash a velvet dress?

Cold, gentle cycle or hand wash, inside out, then hang to dry away from sun. Never iron the pile: steam it from the inside or hang it in a steamy bathroom. Stored folded, velvet creases; give it a hanger.

Is the faux fur coat machine washable?

Technically yes, cold and gentle, but the dryer is the real danger: heat melts the tips of the pile and it never fluffs back. Air dry flat, then shake. Most owners spot clean and wash it once a season at most.

Are the prices here current?

They are current as of the last catalogue update, August 2026. The retailer moves prices without notice, which is why every button says check price: the listing you land on shows the number that actually applies.

How fast is delivery?

Set by the retail partner at checkout, not by us. Most listings ship within a day and arrive inside a week in the continental US; the checkout page shows the exact date before you pay.

What if the dress arrives damaged or wrong?

Handle it through the retailer’s order page: photos of the issue, a couple of clicks, and a refund or replacement. Returns run through the same page. Keep tags on until you have decided; tagless returns get argued with.

Why do two listings look identical?

Colour variants of one model sometimes appear as separate listings with separate prices. We keep both, because one is regularly a few dollars cheaper than the other. The chips under the buy button on each product page link the set together.
