BiBi Floral Crinkle Shirred Ruffle Detail V Neck Dress | SOFT BLUE / M 100100538612082

How to measure

Below are clear steps for taking both body measurements and garment measurements so you can choose the best size or verify the product measurements.

General tips

• Use a soft fabric tape measure. Measure over undergarments, standing straight with arms relaxed at your sides.
• Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight. For garment flat measurements, lay the item on a flat surface and smooth gently — do not stretch.
• If you measure the garment laid flat, double the flat measurement to get the full circumference (e.g., flat bust 18" = 36" bust circumference).
• Provide both inches and centimeters when recording measurements (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Body measurements (how to measure yourself)

1. Bust: Measure at the fullest part of your bust, across the nipples, keeping tape level under the arms and across the back.
2. Waist: Measure at the narrowest point of your natural waist (usually above the belly button).
3. Hips: Measure at the fullest part of your hips/seat — usually 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below the natural waist.
4. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam (if measuring a garment, measure seam-to-seam across the back).
5. Dress length: From the high point of shoulder (at the base of the neck) straight down to the hem. For garment: measure from the top edge at the shoulder to the hem.
6. Sleeve length: (If applicable) From the shoulder seam down to the end of the sleeve.

Garment measurements (laid flat)

When measuring the dress on a flat surface, measure these points and double where indicated:

• Bust (flat): 1"–2" (2–5 cm) below the armhole seam — measure across from side seam to side seam, then ×2 for circumference.
• Waist (flat): Across the narrowest point of the dress — ×2 for circumference.
• Hip (flat): At the fullest part of the skirt — ×2 for circumference.
• Length: From high point shoulder (HPS) to hem.
• Hem width: Measure across the bottom edge — ×2 for full hem circumference.
• Shirring/elastic allowance: For elasticated/shirred areas, measure flat and note that those areas will stretch — measure body and compare to garment stretched and unstretched if possible.

Materials

Typical fabric details for this style and what they mean for feel and care:

• Body: Crinkle textured woven (commonly polyester or a polyester blend). Crinkle chiffon or crinkle rayon gives a lightweight, textured finish that drapes nicely and hides small wrinkles.
• Lining: Many styles include a lightweight lining (often polyester) in the bodice or skirt for opacity and comfort.
• Shirring/Elastic: Elastic thread is usually polyester/elastane — provides stretch at the waist or bust for a flexible fit.
• Trim & Ruffles: Cut from the same fabric or a matching lightweight woven for a cohesive look.

Note: Exact fiber content can vary by batch and size. Always check the product tag or label for the precise composition and any special fabric notes (e.g., “hand wash only,” “contains natural fibers,” or “care instructions on label take precedence”).

Model information

To help you judge fit, here is the model reference typically used for this product photography:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S)

Fit note: The dress features shirred detailing that adds stretch at the bodice/waist — if you prefer a looser fit through the hips, consider sizing up. If you are between sizes and prefer a more fitted silhouette at the bust/waist, choose the smaller size; for a relaxed fit, choose the larger size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Check the garment care label first — follow label instructions when they differ from the general tips below.
• Hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and wash with like colors.
• Turn the dress inside out and place it in a laundry bag for extra protection (especially for ruffles and delicate trims).
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Do not use fabric softener on shirred elastic areas (it can reduce elasticity over time).
• Remove promptly after washing to minimize creasing. Gently reshape while damp and hang to dry in shade to maintain color and crinkle texture.
• Do not wring; instead, press excess water gently with a towel.
• Avoid high heat. If needed, steam lightly from a distance to smooth, or use a cool iron on the reverse side with a pressing cloth. Direct ironing can flatten the crinkle texture — steam is preferred.
• Store on a hanger to preserve shape. If packing, fold gently and avoid compressing the shirred areas.
• For spot stains, blot gently with mild soap and water; test in an inconspicuous area first.

Style tips

Ways to wear the BiBi Floral Crinkle Shirred Ruffle Detail V Neck Dress for different occasions:

• Casual daytime: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a straw tote for relaxed weekend vibes. Add layered delicate necklaces to complement the V-neck.
• Brunch or daytime event: Slip on espadrille wedges and a denim jacket. A thin leather belt can define the shirred waist for a more tailored silhouette.
• Date night / evening: Elevate with strappy heels, a clutch, and statement earrings. A fitted blazer or cropped faux-leather jacket adds polish and edge.
• Work-appropriate: If patterned and length allow, add a structured blazer and closed-toe pumps; choose a neutral color from the print for accessories.
• Transitional seasons: Layer with tights and ankle boots, and top with a longline cardigan or trench coat.
• Accessorizing: Pick one color from the floral print for shoes or bag to coordinate; keep jewelry simple when the print is bold — think single pendant and small hoops.
• Belt tip: A slim belt emphasizes the waist without hiding the shirred detail. For a boho look, use a woven belt and suede accessories.
