Red Floral Puff Sleeve Mini Dress with Ruffle Hem and Sweetheart Neckline | Strawberry / S 100100787996000

How to measure

To get the best fit for the Red Floral Puff Sleeve Mini Dress with Ruffle Hem and Sweetheart Neckline, measure both your body and the garment. Use a flexible cloth measuring tape, stand naturally (don't hold your breath), and record measurements in inches and/or centimeters.

Tools

• Soft measuring tape
• Mirror or a friend to help
• Pen and paper (or phone) to note measurements

Measure your body (wear a fitted top or bra)

• Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level and comfortable.
• Underbust (for bodice fit): Measure directly under the bust around the ribcage.
• Waist: Measure at your natural waist (narrowest point), keeping the tape relaxed.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below the waist.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder bone to shoulder bone across the back.
• Arm/Sleeve fit: With arm relaxed at your side, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm if you’re concerned about sleeve tightness.
• Front length: Measure from the top of the shoulder at the neckline (where the dress would sit) down to where you want the hem to fall.

Measure the garment (lay flat)

• Bust (flat): Lay the dress flat and measure straight across under the armholes; double this number for the full bust circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part of the dress; double for circumference.
• Hips (flat): Measure at the fullest part of the skirt; double for circumference.
• Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder (near the neckline seam) to the hem.
• Sleeve opening: Measure the cuff flat and double for the cuff circumference; measure sleeve cap to hem for sleeve length.
• Allow 1–2 inches (2–5 cm) of ease depending on how fitted or relaxed you prefer the dress to be.

Materials & construction

Typical construction for this style:

• Shell: Lightweight woven with slight recovery — commonly a polyester blend such as 95% polyester / 5% elastane for gentle stretch and shape retention.
• Lining: Soft polyester lining (100% polyester) in the bodice to ensure opacity and comfortable wear.
• Trim & hardware: Invisible back zipper, hook‑and‑eye at the neckline, elasticized puff sleeves, sewn ruffle hem.
• Fabric characteristics: Lightweight with soft drape, holds ruffle structure well, low-medium stretch across the bias, opaque when lined.

If you need exact fiber percentages for a particular color or batch, please check the product label or the product specifications section on the product page.

Model information & fit notes

For reference on fit:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model is wearing: Size Small
• Model measurements (approx.): Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Fit notes: The dress is designed to sit fitted through the bodice with a defined waist and a flared mini skirt. Puff sleeves are elasticized and gently gathered. If you prefer extra room in the bust or a less fitted look, consider sizing up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the dress inside out and fasten the zipper/hook before washing to protect delicate details.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.
• Wash with similar colors. Place in a mesh laundry bag to protect the ruffle hem and sleeves.
• Do not tumble dry — reshape ruffles and sleeves and hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
• Use a low‑heat iron on the reverse if needed, or better: use a handheld steamer to refresh the fabric and lift ruffles without flattening them. Avoid ironing elasticated areas directly.
• For tough stains or if you prefer professional care, dry cleaning is acceptable.
• Storage: hang on a shaped or padded hanger to keep shoulder shape and avoid crushing ruffles. For long-term storage, fold carefully with tissue paper between layers to protect detailing.
• Avoid high heat and rough abrasion to preserve elasticity and print/color vibrancy.

Style tips

• Daytime casual: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for a relaxed, daytime look.
• Evening / date night: Elevate with strappy heels, a delicate layered necklace to highlight the sweetheart neckline, and a small clutch.
• Work or smarter occasions: Add a cropped blazer or tailored jacket and low block heels to make the mini dress office-appropriate for creative settings.
• Cooler weather: Layer a thin turtleneck underneath or add tights and ankle boots; finish with a leather jacket or long cardigan.
• Belt it: A slim belt at the natural waist can emphasize your silhouette and change the dress’s proportions.
• Accessories: Keep necklaces delicate near the neckline — chokers, short pendants, or a pair of statement earrings when hair is up work beautifully.
• Hair & makeup: Soft waves or an updo complement the sweetheart neckline; natural glowy makeup for day, bolder lip or eyes for night.
• Proportion tips: Because the dress is a mini with volume at the sleeves and hem, balance it with sleeker or more structured outer layers and simpler footwear when you want a polished look.
