FABRIC & CARE
FABRIC & CARE
FABRIC : All of our fabrics are natural fabrics, either 100% pure cotton or 100% pure linen. We deliberately work with these fabrics as they are breathable and allow the air to flow through the fabrics, letting your skin breathe, allowing the sweat to evaporate and your body to self cool. This causes less skin irritations (thats why bandages are made of cotton) and you will be less susceptible to heat rashes. Wearing synthetic fabrics is like wearing a plastic bag, and because we are designed to be worn in the tropical heat, we highly recommend you steer clear of all synthetic fabrics (nylon, polyester, viscose rayon, modal etc)
SHRINKAGE : It is a common misconception that all cotton shrinks. For this reason, we ensure that all of our fabrics are pre-shrunk. So they should not shrink further. However all of the labels request that you HANG DRY - please DO NOT put our garments in the dryer. Luckily our fabrics are lightweight enough to dry easily when hung.
CARE : Gentle machine wash in cold or slightly warm water, with like colors. Hand wash if garment has tassels. Do not bleach. Do not soak. Hang Dry - DO NOT put in the dryer. Warm iron - DO NOT iron sequins, beads or trims.
IRONING : Not all cottons require extensive ironing. If you wash on a gentle cycle, take out of the machine as soon as it is finished. Hand flatten on your laundry bench, and then hang dry. Then the garment will require no ironing or minimal ironing, depending on your personal preference.

To sheer, see through. Huge too wide.
I love the cool fabric and it most certainly keeps me cool in the muggiest of summer days! The print is cheerful and the color is beautiful. I got it in the lightest blue and it is airy and cheerful, but also soft and subdued at the same time. I have received so many compliments whenever I wear it. If I am home I wear it to go shopping locally and if I am going out to dinner I match it with a light jacket. It goes wherever I go! So happy this dress is now part of my wardrobe.
The dress doesn’t fit me well, It was tight across the bust. I’ll be returning it.
Arrived on time. Fit. Very light, cooooool. Wish it came in different patterns!
I love this summer dress! Such a beautiful design and color! The natural cotton fabric is just perfect for summer. I will be wearing this a lot! So comfortable!
I like more black & dark brown prints. I love the ruffled sleeve or prefer a cap sleeve.
Lovely dress , cute turtle pattern and it fit perfectly but it is so sheer / see through that I can’t wear it . Wish it had a liner .
The fabric is wonderful. I'm familiar with South Indian fabrics and prints. The dress, however, is completely sheer and can only be used over a bathing suit. It is also a bit large on me.
Did not like the fit. Dress does not fit well on bustier women. The pockets also stuck out. Would love to see some dresses without pockets. I also like the fabric on the keyhole dresses much better.
This dress is definitely lightweight and comfortable to wear, but I'll only be using it as loungewear or as a beach cover-up, and not as a regular dress. It's quite sheer and lacks shape, but it's great around the house.
I love the color and the print. I also love the way it fits but it is a little thin…too thin for me to feel comfortable wearing it as a dress. However, I am using it as a swim cover
I wish it was a tad wider/bigger. I am an apple body and I am just fitting in this dress. I got the largest size. It is beautiful and lightweight.
The fabrics is soft and flowing. With it being 100% cotton, it will be perfect for an upcoming trip to a resort.
Comfortable, flattering and light weight. I'm considering another.
Love the lightweight cotton and fit. 🌸
I absolutely love my dress! It’s light just what I needed and wanted! I’ll be ordering more from you soon! Thank you for all your beautiful outfits❤️
Too transparent. I was looking for something to wear on a daily basis, not just beach or poolside.
This will be my go-to dress for the hottest days. Since it is a more lightweight fabric than the other 2 styles I bought, it will be worn on “at home” days rather than for office or errands. I will practically live in this dress this summer. It washes well and dries quickly as advertised. The fabric and stitching are great quality, and the cut is modest without being matronly, very flattering and forgiving fit & print.
Oh this is so comfy and cool! I wear it with the sarong and bag that matches! Great statement!
I love this very light material of this very attractive calf length dress. I got several compliments on it. My daughter says it’s very flattering.
Love the color and the print. Unfortunately, I am returning the lovely dress. It is a little too small and the material is a little too light weight for me.
Love fabric and print. XL was spot on for me without being too big. Usually buy XXL glad I listened to your sizing. Have just 1 issue. Can see straight through it and needed to wear 1/2 slip so entire outline of legs didn't show. Would love less see through so no slip needed. That would really make " cooler". Just ordered some tops as I was pleased with product.
Love the handkerchief weight fabric and the brilliant blue color. Very cool in the hot summer
Very comfortable and perfect for the beach. Wish they’d have more of a selection as far colors not just the one style.
I love this dress ! It’s very comfortable and the cotton fabric is beautiful and cool to wear in summer . Everyone compliments me when I wear it. I have it two colors now I will have to buy the other color !
Huge! Your website said to order a 3X. I did a 2X. It was still huge! Exchanges in progress, but $$. May be first and last order from you all. 😢
I have the other color that I bought first and it’s so adorable and comfy I just had to get the other color! If there had of been more colors and patterns I would’ve bought them all! Fabric is wonderful and perfect for Florida weather. Even if you got wet it would dry in 10-15 minutes!
Love this light and airy dress. So cool and comfortable. The perfect summer time dress. And, I love the whimsical turtle print.
Absolutely love how light it is! Haven’t worn it yet because of cooler weather (and I live in Florida) but it won’t be long and I’ll be living in it! I’m buying the other color as well and hoping for more maxi/midi dresses! Beautiful!
Like everything West Indies Wear does this is perfect! I have so many items from this line it fills my closet. I never have been disappointed in the 10 years I have buying Kim’s line of clothes.
Love the fabric, the colors, style & fit. I'm a Florida girl and really like this dress.
Love this dress and the sarong! It feels awesome and so many things I can do to style it, like shorten it!
I ordered a dress and returned it. Still waiting for my refund
Love this dress Took six inches off the bottom and fit fine
This is a lovey, very light weight cotton dress that is so cool and comfy. Perfect for day time or an evening out and the matching sarong keeps the evening breeze at bay. Will b a go to in my bag for any Island destinations from now on!
