How to measure

Body measurements — how to take

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape parallel to the floor. Wear a close-fitting, non-padded bra for accuracy.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist), usually above the belly button. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, with feet together.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the edge of one shoulder bone to the other.
• Desired dress length: Measure from the top of the shoulder (highest point) down to where you want the hem to sit.

Garment measurements — how we measure

• Bust (flat): Lay the dress flat and measure from underarm seam to underarm seam; double that number for full circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part of the dress while flat; double for circumference.
• Hip (flat): Measure across the widest part of the skirt portion (typically ~20 cm / 8" below the waist); double for circumference.
• Length: Measure from the center back at the base of the neck (or from the top of the shoulder seam) straight down to the hem.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.

Tip: Compare these garment measurements to a similar dress you own that fits well. Convert units if needed: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Check the product label for the exact fabric composition. Typical material options for this style include:

• Main fabric: Viscose or viscose blend (soft, fluid drape) or polyester blend (durable, colourfast).
• Lining (if present): Lightweight viscose or polyester for opacity and comfort.
• Trim: Self-fabric tie at the neckline.

Quick fibre guide:

• Viscose: Breathable and very drapey; can be delicate when wet—follow gentle-care instructions.
• Polyester: Durable, keeps colour well and is generally low-maintenance.
• Elastane/Spandex: Adds stretch and comfort when present.

Always follow the garment label for exact fibre content and care recommendations.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Always follow the care label first. The following are general recommendations by fabric type to preserve shape, print and colour.

• Viscose or viscose blends: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a delicate cycle inside out using a mild detergent. Avoid wringing. Reshape and dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Iron inside out on low heat or use a steamer. Dry clean if recommended on the label.
• Polyester or polyester blends: Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with like colours. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Use a cool iron if needed; avoid high heat.
• General tips: Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the print. Wash with similar colours. Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers. Store on a padded hanger or folded in a breathable bag. For stubborn creases, steam rather than applying a very hot iron directly to printed areas.
• Spot cleaning: Blot stains immediately—do not rub. Test stain removers on an inconspicuous area first.

Style Tips

• Casual day: Pair with white sneakers and a denim jacket for an easy, modern look.
• Work or smarter events: Layer under a tailored blazer with low block heels and a structured bag.
• Evening: Add strappy heels, a slim belt to define the waist and statement earrings.
• Cooler weather: Wear with opaque tights and ankle boots; add a long wool coat or leather jacket.
• Accessories: A skinny belt changes the silhouette; choose gold-tone jewellery for warm prints and silver for cooler tones. Keep bags and shoes minimal to let the print stand out.
