ADORA Sleeveless Shift 3D Petal Dress

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For body measurements, measure over underwear (do not add extra ease). For garment (flat) measurements, lay the dress flat on a smooth surface and measure straight across, then double where indicated to get circumference.

Body measurements — how to take them

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and relaxed.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (natural waist), keeping tape comfortably snug.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat with feet together.
• Shoulder width: Measure from the end of one shoulder to the end of the other across the back.

Garment measurements — measure the dress flat

• Chest / Bust (flat): Measure across the front from side seam to side seam, about 1–2 cm below the armhole. Double this number for full circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across at the narrowest seam or the intended waistline, then double.
• Hip (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt portion, then double.
• Shoulder to hem (length): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neck) straight down to the hem.
• Armhole / Sleeve opening: Measure the curve from shoulder seam to underarm seam (useful for fit at the arm).
• Hem width (flat): Measure across the bottom edge for how much ease the skirt has.

Quick conversion: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Typical construction for a structured 3D petal shift dress (verify exact composition on the product label):

• Shell / Outer fabric: Structured polyester-based knit (often called scuba or bonded polyester) that holds sculpted shapes and petals.
• 3D Petals / Appliqué: Cut and bonded polyester or polyester-organza blend, sometimes with fused backing for volume and edge stitching to retain shape.
• Lining: Lightweight polyester or polyester charmeuse for smooth wear against the skin.
• Trim & closures: Concealed/nylon coil zipper (or similar) and small internal fastenings; hardware may be metal or plastic.

Why this matters: polyester-based scaffolding gives the petal structure and wrinkle resistance but is sensitive to high heat — follow care instructions to preserve shape.

Note: Exact fabric percentages and components may vary by color or production run. Always check the sewn-in care/composition label for definitive information.

Model information

Example model reference (for visual fit guidance):

• Model height: 177 cm / 5'10"
• Model measurements: Bust 81 cm / 32", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35"
• Wearing: Size S (standard fit)

Fit note: The ADORA shift silhouette is designed to skim the body rather than cling. If you are between sizes and prefer more room over the bust or hips, consider sizing up.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. General approach: Treat embellished, structured garments gently. When in doubt, professional dry cleaning is safest—especially for heavy 3D appliqué.
2. Washing: Hand wash cold or use a gentle machine cycle (cold) inside a mesh bag with mild detergent. Turn the dress inside out to protect petals. Do not bleach.
3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently reshape petals while damp and lay flat on a towel to dry, or hang on a padded hanger to dry out of direct sunlight.
4. Ironing & steaming: Avoid direct high heat on petals. Use a steamer to lift and reshape 3D elements. If ironing is needed, use low heat on the reverse with a pressing cloth; never press directly onto appliqués.
5. Spot cleaning: Blot stains immediately with a clean cloth and mild detergent. Avoid rubbing which can fray edges; for oil-based stains, consult a professional cleaner.
6. Storage: Store on a padded hanger or lay flat. Use acid-free tissue between layers of petals to preserve shape. Keep in a breathable garment bag—avoid sealed plastic for long-term storage.
7. Travel tips: Pack with tissue paper between petals and place the dress on top of other soft items in your suitcase; hang and steam once you arrive to restore form.

Style tips

• Occasions: Ideal for cocktail events, wedding guest looks, garden parties and formal daytime events.
• Shoes: For evening, pair with strappy heels or pointed pumps; for daytime, ballet flats or low block heels keep the look polished and comfortable.
• Accessories: Let the 3D petals be the focal point—choose minimal or refined jewelry (studs or a delicate bracelet). For a bolder look, a single statement earring or metallic clutch works well.
• Layering: For cooler weather or a tailored finish, add a cropped blazer or a fitted bolero that hits at the waist so the dress silhouette reads cleanly.
• Belt it: If you prefer more shape, add a slim belt at the natural waist—choose a smooth leather or fabric band that won’t catch on the petals.
• Hair & makeup: An elegant updo or swept-back hair lets the neckline and petal detail shine; a soft smoky eye or bold lip can elevate evening looks.
