Aemi+Co Frill Sleeveless Drop Waist Mini Dress

How to measure

For accurate measurements, lay the dress flat on a smooth surface. Smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric. When measuring across the garment, multiply the flat measurement by 2 to get the full circumference.

• Bust (Chest): Measure straight across the front 1 cm (½ in) below the armhole seam from side seam to side seam. Double this number for the bust circumference.
• Natural waist: Measure across the narrowest part of the bodice (if visible) and double for circumference.
• Drop waist seam: Measure across the seam where the skirt attaches to the bodice (the drop-waist line) and double for circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Armhole: Measure from seam to seam across the armhole and double for the armhole circumference.
• Skirt length (from drop waist): Measure from the drop waist seam down to the hem.
• Total length (high point shoulder): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where shoulder meets neckline) straight down to the hem at center front.
• Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem flat and double to get the full hem circumference.
• Tips: Use a flexible tape measure, record in cm and in (1 in = 2.54 cm), and allow 1–2 cm tolerance for seam allowance and finishing.

Materials

Typical composition (check garment label for exact fibre content): Shell: 100% polyester (lightweight crepe). Lining: 100% polyester. Exact composition can vary by batch or colour—always verify the sewn-in label for the definitive breakdown.

Fabric characteristics: Lightweight woven with a soft drape and slight textured finish. Low-stretch; opaque when lined. Benefits include good colour retention, quick drying and easy-care behaviour. The frill trim is finished with a narrow hem for a soft, feminine edge.

Construction: Sleeveless bodice with drop-waist seam and a flared mini skirt. Typically finished with a concealed centre-back zip (where applicable) and machine-stitched hems.

Model information

Fit reference: Model is 175 cm / 5'9" with measurements approximately Bust 81 cm / 32", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35", and is wearing a size S (UK 8 / US 4). On this model the dress falls to mid-thigh.

Fit notes: The dress offers a relaxed bodice with a dropped waist and flared skirt. If you prefer a looser fit across the bust/shoulders, consider sizing up. If you prefer a more fitted silhouette, choose your usual size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the garment care label first and follow any manufacturer-specific instructions.
• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle/delicate cycle. Turn the dress inside out and fasten zips. Use a mesh wash bag for extra protection.
• Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach or use harsh chemicals that can damage fibres or trims.
• Do not wring. Remove promptly and reshape while damp.
• Line dry or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and shape. Avoid tumble drying; if absolutely necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
• Iron on low heat inside out or use a steamer to remove wrinkles—polyester fabrics respond well to steaming. Use a press cloth if ironing directly.
• Spot-treat stains gently with cold water and mild detergent, testing first on an inside seam.
• Store on a hanger with padded shoulders to keep the silhouette neat, or fold with tissue paper for long-term storage. Avoid contact with rough surfaces and sharp jewellery to prevent snags.
• If the dress has delicate trims or you prefer specialist care, professional dry cleaning is a safe option.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for an easy, off-duty look.
• Smart / office-casual: Layer with a cropped blazer and low block heels or mules; a slim belt at the drop waist can add polish.
• Evening / party: Add heeled sandals, a clutch and statement earrings. A narrow belt at the drop waist creates a defined silhouette.
• Cooler weather: Wear a fitted long-sleeve top or fine-gauge turtleneck underneath, add opaque tights and ankle boots or knee-high boots.
• Body-shape tips: The frill detail and drop waist add movement—use a belt to define the waist if desired. For petite frames, a narrow belt and heels help elongate the legs.
• Accessories: Keep necklaces short or layered delicate pieces to complement the sleeveless neckline; choose a medium crossbody or compact clutch to balance proportions.
