And The Why Floral Tiered Maxi Cami Dress with Pockets

How to measure

Measure your body (to choose the right size)

1. Bust: Wear a bra similar to the one you'll wear with the dress. Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and comfortably snug. Record the measurement.
2. Waist: Find your natural waist by bending to the side—where your body creases is your natural waist. Measure around that point without sucking in; keep the tape relaxed.
3. Hips: With your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat (typically 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist). Keep the tape level all the way around.
4. Front length (how long the dress will fall): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the base of your neck) down to where you want the hem to sit (ankle, floor, etc.). This helps confirm maxi length on your height.
5. Torso/Strap fit: For cami styles, note your shoulder-to-bust distance if you prefer a specific neckline height—measure from the top of shoulder (near neck) to the fullest part of bust.

Tip: If you are between sizes, choose based on bust measurement and how loose you want the skirt tiers to fall. For non-stretch fabrics allow 1–2" (2.5–5 cm) ease at bust and waist for comfortable movement.

Measure the garment (if you have the dress or want exact specs)

1. Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching fabric.
2. Bust (flat): Measure across from underarm seam to underarm seam and multiply by 2 to get full circumference.
3. Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest tier seam (or where the garment is intended to sit) and multiply by 2.
4. Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest tier or seam, multiply by 2.
5. Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where strap meets body) straight down the center front (or center back) to the hem.
6. Strap length & adjusters: Measure strap length from front attachment point to back attachment point (include slider if adjustable).
7. Pocket depth: Measure from pocket opening to the bottom of pocket lining to confirm how much fits comfortably.

Materials & construction

Typical construction for a tiered floral maxi cami dress:

• Main fabric: Lightweight viscose/rayon or a viscose-blend — soft, drapey and breathable with excellent fluid movement. (Some colorways or runs may use a polyester blend.)
• Lining: Many cami maxis are unlined in the skirt; the bodice may be lined for opacity. Always check the product tag for exact lining details.
• Details: Spaghetti cami straps (often adjustable with metal or plastic sliders), side-seam pockets, and tiered gathered seams that add volume and movement.
• Hand feel & behavior: Lightweight and cool to the touch; little natural stretch (unless blended with elastane). Viscose drapes beautifully but can wrinkle and may shrink if washed hot.

Note: Exact fiber content can vary by color or print—refer to the garment label for the authoritative composition and any country-of-origin info.

About the model

Example model details (useful for visual sizing reference):

• Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Measurements: Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing: Size S (small)
• Fit note: The dress shown is a relaxed, flowy fit. On this model the hem falls to the ankle. If you prefer a more fitted look at the waist, consider adding a belt or sizing down if you are between sizes and prefer less volume.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the garment care label first—follow the maker's instructions when available.
• Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and wash with like colors to avoid dye transfer.
• Protect: Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the print and any delicate trims. Use a mesh wash bag for extra protection.
• Dry: Line dry or lay flat to dry. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage or damage delicate fibers.
• Iron & steam: If needed, iron on low heat inside out or use a steamer to smooth wrinkles—viscose responds well to steaming. Avoid direct high heat on trims and straps.
• Stain care: Spot-treat gently with a mild stain remover; test on an inconspicuous area first. Do not bleach.
• Storage: Hang on a padded hanger to maintain shape and avoid shoulder dents, or fold neatly in a drawer. If fabric is prone to wrinkles, hang the dress in a steamy bathroom to relax creases before wearing.
• Long-term care: For delicate or intricately trimmed versions, consider professional dry cleaning for the best long-term results.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with flat sandals or white sneakers, a straw tote, and layered delicate necklaces for an effortless weekend look.
• Beach / vacation: Slip on espadrille sandals, a wide-brim straw hat and woven bag; the flowy tiers work beautifully in warm, breezy climates.
• Date night: Add heeled sandals or wedges, a slim leather belt to cinch the waist, and statement earrings for a polished, feminine look.
• Wedding guest or special event: Elevate with metallic strappy heels, a clutch, and a lightweight shawl or bolero. Choose fine jewelry to balance the relaxed silhouette.
• Layering / cooler weather: Throw on a cropped denim jacket, a fitted blazer, or a cozy cardigan. Ankle boots or low-heeled booties transition the maxi into fall.
• Work-appropriate: Add a tailored blazer and closed-toe block heels; tuck in a lightweight camisole underneath if the fabric is slightly sheer.
• Accessories: For busy floral prints keep accessories simple (gold or silver hoops, thin chain necklaces). For subtler prints, try bolder accessories like a wide belt or chunky bracelets.
• Practical pocket use: The side pockets are great for keys, lip balm or a slim phone—avoid overloading to keep the dress hanging smoothly.
• Undergarments: A strapless or thin-strapped bra, bralette, or seamless bodysuit works best under a cami-style neckline. For extra opacity, a lightweight slip can be worn under sheer variants.
