CULTURE Arpa 3/4 Sleeve Dress
- Low stock - 1 item left
- Delivery in 3–5 working days
- Free delivery in Ireland over €100
The Arpa from Culture with a three-quarter sleeve — a below-the-knee dress in a cotton-and-lyocell blend that feels soft from the first wear and only gets better. Lyocell gives it a slight drape, so it hangs beautifully rather than sitting stiff.
An easy dress for the in-between weather we get from now until October: bare arms are too cold, long sleeves too much. Add tights and boots and it carries straight through the winter.
- Three-quarter sleeves
- Below-knee length
- Soft cotton and lyocell blend with natural drape
- Sizes XS–XL
Composition: 90% Cotton, 10% Lyocell

Sizes vary from brand to brand, so here's how ours actually run — based on thirty years of fitting people in the shop rather than a chart from a catalogue.
Irish and UK sizes to European
| UK / Ireland | European | Letter size |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 36 | XS |
| 10 | 38 | S |
| 12 | 40 | M |
| 14 | 42 | L |
| 16 | 44 | XL |
| 18 | 46 | XXL |

How our brands run
CECIL and Fransa — a generous fit
These two come up roughly one size larger than the letter suggests. An extra small fits a size 10, a small fits a 12, a medium fits a 14, and so on up.
If you normally take a 12, order the small.
Street One, Culture and YEW — true to size
These run as you'd expect. A small is a 10, a medium is a 12, a large is a 14.
Order your usual size.
Everything else
Our other brands are true to size. If anything runs differently we'll say so in the product description.

TRACKING YOUR ORDER
Email info@charismafashions.ie with the date your order was placed, your order number, your full name, billing address and phone number, and we'll check the status for you. Or ring the shop on 063 21855.
CHANGED YOUR MIND? YOU HAVE 14 DAYS
If you order online and change your mind, you have 14 days from the day you receive your order to tell us you'd like to cancel. You don't need to give a reason.
Just email info@charismafashions.ie with your order number, or ring us on 063 21855.
Once you've told us, you then have a further 14 days to post the item back.
This applies to everything, including sale items.
YOUR REFUND
We'll refund the full price of the item plus the standard delivery charge you paid, back to the card or account you used.
We aim to process refunds within two working days of the item reaching us. Depending on your bank, it can take a few days after that to appear.
Return postage is at your own cost, unless the item is faulty or we sent you the wrong thing — in which case we'll cover it.
CONDITION OF RETURNS
Please send items back unworn, with tags still attached and in their original packaging. We'd ask you to check everything over before removing labels.
If shoes come back with postage labels stuck to the shoebox we can't resell them, so please put the shoebox inside another box or bag.
For hygiene reasons we can't accept returns on earrings, hairbands, hair clips or other hair accessories once opened.
EXCHANGES
We don't process exchanges on online orders. If you need a different size, order the size you want and send the first one back for a refund — that way you're not waiting.
Better still, ring us first on 063 21855 and we'll tell you how the brand runs before you order. It saves everyone the postage.
IF SOMETHING IS FAULTY
If an item is faulty, damaged or not as described, get in touch and we'll sort it out. Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 apply regardless of anything on this page, and they last well beyond 14 days.
