Frill Short Sleeve Mini Dress

How to measure this dress

For the most accurate sizing, measure the garment laid flat and measure your body to compare against the product measurements. Use a flexible measuring tape and record both cm and inches (1 in = 2.54 cm).

1. Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface and smooth out any wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Measure across, seam-to-seam, and multiply by two to get full circumference measurements.
3. Record measurements in both centimetres and inches where possible.
4. Compare these numbers with your favorite-fitting dress or the product size chart to choose the best size.

Key measurement points (garment laid flat)

• Bust / Chest: Measure 1 cm–2 cm (approximately ¼–½ in) below the armhole seam across the fullest part, seam-to-seam. Double this number for full circumference.
• Waist: Measure across the narrowest point of the dress (usually at the waist seam), seam-to-seam, then double for circumference.
• Hip: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt/hip area (about 20 cm / 8 in down from waist for many mini dresses), seam-to-seam, then double.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to sleeve hem (for short sleeves this is a short measurement; measure on the outside edge).
• Dress length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neck seam) straight down to the hem at the centre back.
• Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem seam and double for full circumference.

Materials

Exact fabric composition varies by production run—always check the product label or product details on the page for the definitive composition. Typical fabrics and their qualities for a frill short sleeve mini dress include:

• Viscose / Rayon / Modal: Soft, fluid drape and a smooth finish; feels luxurious and is flattering for frill details. Often needs gentle handling—prefer hand wash or gentle machine cycle and dry flat.
• Cotton: Breathable and comfortable; may hold structure more and can be machine-washed. Expect some shrinkage if washed hot—wash cold or warm and tumble dry low if allowed.
• Polyester / Synthetic blends: Durable, wrinkle-resistant and easy-care. Holds shape well and often resists shrinking; machine wash cold is typically fine.
• Linen or linen blends: Lightweight and breathable with a textured look; tends to wrinkle—best air dry and press while damp.
• Elastane / Spandex blends (e.g., 95% fabric + 5% elastane): Adds stretch for comfort and recovery—wash cold and avoid high heat to preserve elasticity.
• Lining: If the dress is lined, lining is commonly polyester or viscose—follow the more delicate care instruction of the outer fabric and the lining.

If you need precise care instructions for the exact fabric content, refer to the label sewn into the dress or the product composition listed on the product page.

Fit note: This mini dress has frill details and short sleeves—it typically skims the body. If you prefer a roomier fit at hips or waist, consider sizing up. When between sizes, choose based on bust and waist measurements.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first. Follow the label for water temperature, washing method, and drying recommendations.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect frills, trims and prints.
• Use a gentle cycle or hand wash for delicate fabrics (viscose, rayon, loose weaves). Use cold water and a mild detergent.
• Use a mesh laundry bag when machine-washing to reduce abrasion on frills and delicate seams.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. They can fade colours and weaken fibres.
• Dry flat or hang to dry in shade. Avoid tumble-drying delicate fabrics—high heat can shrink or damage fibres and frill detail.
• Iron or steam inside out on a low setting for delicate fabrics. Use a pressing cloth for viscose, silk or embellished areas.
• Spot-treat stains promptly: Blot (don’t rub) with cold water and a gentle detergent; test any stain remover on an inside seam first.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger for dresses you wear frequently; fold and store in a breathable box for long-term storage. Keep away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
• Maintenance: De-pill knits gently with a fabric shaver and mend small pulls or loose threads promptly to prevent further damage.

Style Tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for an easy, relaxed look.
• Brunch / weekend: Add espadrille wedges, a straw bag and layered gold necklaces to enhance the frill detail.
• Office / smart-casual: Layer with a cropped blazer or lightweight cardigan and finish with low block heels and a slim belt to define the waist.
• Evening out: Swap to strappy heels, a clutch and statement earrings for a dressier silhouette—consider a fitted leather jacket for edge.
• Cooler weather: Wear opaque tights or slim leggings underneath, ankle boots, and a trench or long coat on top.
• Accessorising: A thin belt highlights the waist; keep chunky jewellery minimal to let the frill detail stand out. Neutral bags and shoes help patterned dresses feel cohesive.
• Pro tip: If the frills add volume at the shoulders, balance the shape with a more fitted skirt or a defined waistline.
