Floral Eyelet Embroidered Sleeveless Shift Dress | White / S 100100016075958

How to measure

Measure your body (for best fit)

1. Wear a well-fitting, unpadded bra and stand relaxed with your feet together.
2. Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust and across your shoulder blades—keep the tape parallel to the floor.
3. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part of your torso). Keep the tape relaxed and parallel to the floor.
4. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat—usually about 7–9" (18–23 cm) below your waist—keeping feet together.
5. Dress length: Measure from the high point of shoulder (where your shoulder meets your neck) down to where you want the hem to sit.
6. Shoulder width (optional): Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other across the back.
7. Note: Record measurements in inches or centimeters. 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Measure a garment laid flat (to compare with sizing)

1. Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface and gently smooth wrinkles—do not stretch the fabric.
2. Flat bust: Measure across the front 1" (2–3 cm) below the armhole from seam to seam — double this number for the full bust circumference.
3. Flat waist: Measure across the narrowest point — double for circumference.
4. Flat hips/hem: Measure across the widest part or the bottom hem — double for circumference.
5. Length: Measure from the center back at the base of the neck down to the hem for center-back length.
6. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow for desired ease: shift silhouettes typically have relaxed ease—if you prefer a closer fit, choose the next smaller size; for a looser fit, choose a larger size.

Quick tips: always measure twice, keep the tape measure parallel to the floor for horizontal measurements, and measure on bare skin or thin clothing for accuracy.

Materials

Typical composition for a floral eyelet embroidered sleeveless shift dress (check the garment label for exact details):

• Shell: Eyelet fabric — usually 100% cotton or a cotton blend. Breathable, crisp handfeel with decorative cutwork.
• Embroidery: Cotton or polyester embroidery thread—adds texture and floral detailing.
• Lining (if present): Lightweight cotton voile or polyester lining for opacity and comfort.
• Trim & hardware: Threaded finishes, occasional buttons or piping—materials vary by style.

Why it matters: cotton eyelet is breathable and comfortable in warm weather but may soften and relax with wear. Lining affects opacity and drape. Always check the sewn label for the exact fiber content and any special finishes.

About the model

Reference model details (for visual sizing guidance):

• Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements (approx.): Bust 33" / Waist 24" / Hips 34"
• Wearing size: Small

Fit note: The shift silhouette is relaxed through the body. If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down; for extra room or layering, choose a size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Check the garment label first—follow any manufacturer-specific instructions.
2. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash to protect eyelet and embroidery (30°C / 86°F recommended).
3. Turn the dress inside out before washing and wash with like colors to avoid abrasion and color transfer.
4. Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and strong stain removers that can damage threads or fabric.
5. Reshape and lay flat or hang to dry in the shade—avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
6. If using a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling and shrinkage (prefer air-dry for best care).
7. Iron on the reverse side with a low-to-medium heat setting or use a pressing cloth over the embroidery. Steam is a gentle option for removing wrinkles.
8. Spot-treat stains quickly with a gentle detergent; for delicate embroidered areas, dab rather than rub.
9. Store folded or on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, keep away from direct light and humidity.
10. For heavily embellished or lined versions, professional dry cleaning is a safe option.

Style tips

• Daytime casual: Pair with flat leather sandals or espadrilles and a straw tote for a relaxed summer look.
• Brunch or office-casual: Add a lightweight blazer or cropped denim jacket and low block heels; a thin belt can define the waist if desired.
• Evening: Swap to strappy heels, a clutch, and statement earrings to elevate the embroidery.
• Layering: Throw on a knit cardigan or leather jacket for cooler evenings. Tights and ankle boots work for transitional weather.
• Accessories: Keep jewelry delicate to complement—not compete with—the eyelet detail. Think small hoops, a fine pendant, or a slim bracelet.
• Beach/picnic: Add a wide-brim straw hat, woven sandals, and a crossbody bag for effortless charm.
• Pro tip: A narrow belt or ribbon tied at the waist instantly changes the silhouette from loose shift to defined shape.
