Heart Flutter Sleeve Ruffle Mini Dress | Mocha / S 100100842321516

How to measure

Below are simple steps to measure yourself and the garment so you can choose the right size and describe the product accurately.

Measure your body (for best fit)

1. Wear a thin, form-fitting top or a bra. Stand with feet together and arms relaxed at your sides.
2. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Measure with a non-padded bra for accuracy.
3. Waist: Find the narrowest point of your natural waist (usually above the belly button) and measure around it.
4. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks with your feet together.
5. Shoulder width: Measure from the tip of one shoulder across the back to the tip of the other shoulder.
6. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (or shoulder tip) down to where you want the sleeve to end, with the arm slightly bent for comfort.
7. Dress length (HPS to hem): Measure from the high point of the shoulder (HPS — where the shoulder meets the base of the neck) straight down to the hem.
8. Measure twice for accuracy. If possible, have someone assist you to get consistent results.

Measure the garment (recommended when you have the dress)

1. Lay the dress flat on a clean, flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Flat bust: Measure across the front from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number for the full bust circumference.
3. Flat waist: Measure across the narrowest part of the front and double it.
4. Flat hips: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt and double it.
5. Length: Measure from the highest shoulder seam (or HPS) down to the hem at center back.
6. Sleeve opening: Measure the cuff or opening across (double if needed) and measure sleeve length from shoulder seam to cuff.
7. Record measurements in both inches and centimeters (1 inch = 2.54 cm) and note which measurement is flat vs. circumference.

Materials & Fabric details

Typical composition and fabric characteristics for this style:

• Shell: 100% polyester — lightweight woven (chiffon-like) offering a soft drape and crisp ruffle definition.
• Lining: 100% polyester (lightweight slip lining) for opacity and comfort in the skirt area.
• Trim: Elastic or narrow hemming at sleeve openings to create flutter and gentle stretch where needed.

Fabric qualities: breathable and lightweight with good colorfastness; holds ruffles well. Some versions of this dress may include a small percentage of elastane (2–5%) for added stretch—always check the garment care label or product tag for the exact fiber content.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect ruffles, trims and prints.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Wash with like colors.
• Use a mesh laundry bag for machine washing to reduce abrasion on ruffles and seams.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners (they can damage fibers and trims).
• Hang to dry or lay flat to dry; reshape while damp. Avoid high heat drying — tumble dry low only if the care label permits.
• Remove wrinkles with a steamer or iron on low heat on the reverse side using a pressing cloth. Do not iron directly on delicate ruffles or elastic trims.
• Store on a padded or wide hanger to preserve shoulder shape and ruffle detail; avoid overcrowding in the closet to prevent crushing.
• Spot-treat stains promptly with a gentle detergent; for stubborn stains or garments marked “Dry Clean Only,” seek professional cleaning.
• Avoid rough surfaces and jewelry that can catch and pull the fabric.

Style Tips

How to wear and style the Heart Flutter Sleeve Ruffle Mini Dress:

• Everyday casual: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a crossbody bag for an easy daytime look.
• Brunch & daytime events: Wedge sandals or espadrilles, a straw bag and layered delicate necklaces enhance the romantic silhouette.
• Date night: Add strappy heels, a slim belt to cinch the waist, and statement earrings for a polished evening outfit.
• Edge it up: Wear with a cropped leather jacket and ankle boots for contrast between sweet and structured.
• Cooler seasons: Style with opaque tights, ankle boots and a long coat or blazer; add a scarf for warmth and texture.
• Accessories: Keep jewelry simple so ruffles remain the focus — thin pendants, small hoops or stacked rings work well. A slim belt can define the waist if desired.
• Hair & makeup: Soft beachy waves or a low bun complement the romantic ruffle detail; choose a fresh dewy look for day or a bold lip for evening.
• Sizing tip: If you’re between sizes and want more movement in the skirt and sleeves, size up. For a more fitted bodice, choose your usual size.
