Premium Fabric Construction
Every truth by republic dress in our collection begins with carefully selected fabrics that balance comfort with durability. Our midi wrap dress uses a cotton-blend that offers natural breathability while maintaining enough structure to hold its shape through multiple wears. The linen-cotton shift dress features fibers chosen for their moisture-wicking properties, making it ideal for warm climates or active days.
The jersey knit in our maxi dress undergoes a specialized finishing process that prevents pilling and maintains color vibrancy even after repeated washing. We source fabrics that meet our standards for minimal environmental impact while delivering the soft hand feel our customers expect. Each material is tested for colorfastness, shrinkage resistance, and long-term wearability before it enters production.
Sizing and Fit Guidelines
Truth by Republic dresses are designed with inclusive sizing that accommodates a range of body types. Our midi wrap dress offers the most flexibility—the adjustable tie allows you to customize the waist fit, making it ideal if you’re between sizes or prefer a more relaxed or cinched silhouette. We recommend measuring your bust, waist, and hips against our detailed size chart before ordering.
The sleeveless shift dress runs true to size with a relaxed fit through the body. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down; for a looser, breezier fit, size up. The maxi dress features adjustable straps that accommodate various torso lengths, and the empire waist sits just below the bust to create a flattering silhouette regardless of your height.
Care Instructions and Maintenance
All truth by republic dress styles are machine washable, though we recommend turning them inside out before washing to protect exterior details and maintain color vibrancy. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent—avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can break down natural fibers over time. The cotton-blend and linen-cotton fabrics benefit from air drying or tumble drying on low heat to prevent excessive shrinkage.
For the jersey knit maxi dress, lay flat to dry when possible to maintain the fabric’s natural drape and prevent stretching. If you need to remove wrinkles, use a medium-heat iron or garment steamer. The wrap dress’s tie belt can be pressed flat to restore crisp edges after washing.

For travel, roll dresses instead of folding them, or use garment bags. A handheld steamer works perfectly for quick touch-ups before wearing. If you prefer ironing, use medium heat on the cotton-blend and low heat on the jersey knit, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
The wrap dress and shift dress both work well in professional environments. The wrap style offers a polished silhouette with its V-neckline and defined waist, while the shift dress pairs perfectly with blazers or cardigans for a business-appropriate look.
The maxi dress leans more casual but can be styled professionally depending on your workplace dress code. Add a structured jacket and closed-toe shoes to elevate the maxi for office wear. All three styles maintain their shape throughout the workday without excessive wrinkling.
Hang dresses on padded hangers in a cool, dry closet away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you’re storing for an extended period, use breathable garment bags rather than plastic to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
Clean dresses before storing to remove any oils or stains that might set over time. Avoid wire hangers that can create shoulder dimples in the fabric. Cedar blocks or lavender sachets help repel moths without the chemical smell of mothballs.
Minimal shrinkage may occur with the first wash, particularly in the cotton-blend and linen-cotton fabrics. We recommend washing in cold water and either air drying or using low heat in the dryer to minimize this effect.
