How to measure

Use these simple steps to measure your body and the garment so shoppers can choose the right size with confidence.

Measure your body (for size selection)

• Bust: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and parallel to the floor. Breathe normally; don’t squeeze the tape.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist (usually just above the belly button).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape level.
• Height: Record overall height so shoppers can compare model height to their own.

Measure the garment (recommended for most accurate fit)

Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface. Smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric. Measure across (flat) and double each measurement to report circumference.

• Chest (armpit to armpit): Measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other; double that number for the chest circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the dress (where the tie sits); double to get the waist circumference.
• Hip: Measure across the dress 20 cm (≈8") below the waist or at the fullest point; double to get circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to sleeve hem.
• Dress length (HPS): From high point of shoulder (base of neck) straight down to the hem.
• Tie length: Measure one tie from where it meets the seam to the tip; list both if asymmetrical.
• Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and double for the full hem circumference.

Quick tips: Always state whether measurements are taken flat or are garment circumferences. Provide both centimetres and inches, and recommend customers compare garment measurements to a trusted item they already own. Allow 2–6 cm (1–2") ease depending on desired fit.

Materials

Common fabrics and what to expect for a Heart Print Short Sleeve Tie Waist Dress. Replace with the exact composition from the garment label when available (for example “100% Viscose”).

• Viscose / Rayon: Soft and drapey with fluid movement — ideal for printed dresses. Can be prone to shrinkage and crease; gentle wash or professional cleaning recommended.
• Cotton: Breathable and comfortable; holds print well and is easy to care for. May soften or slightly shrink on first washes.
• Polyester / Polyester blends: Durable, colourfast and low-maintenance; resists wrinkles and often machine-washable.
• Linen / Linen blends: Lightweight and breathable with natural texture; wrinkles easily and usually needs gentle handling.
• Elastane / Spandex (small %): Adds stretch and recovery — useful if the dress has a fitted silhouette or stretch panels.
• Lining & trims: Linings are commonly polyester; ties are usually self-fabric. Buttons and fastenings may vary (shell, plastic, metal).

Label reminder: Always display the exact fibre content from the product label on the product page (e.g., “Main: 100% viscose; Lining: 100% polyester”).

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment care label first — this supersedes general advice.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the print and reduce abrasion.
• Machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle at 30°C / cold or hand wash for delicate fibres (viscose, linen blends).
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh stain removers unless the label permits them.
• Place the dress in a mesh laundry bag to protect ties, buttons and trims during washing.
• Do not wring; gently press out water and reshape while damp.
• Dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading; avoid tumble drying unless care label allows low heat.
• Iron on the reverse at low to medium heat or use a steamer. For viscose, use a press cloth or steam rather than a hot iron.
• Spot-treat stains promptly: blot (don’t rub) and test removers on an inside seam first.
• Store on a hanger or folded in a drawer. Avoid hanging by the tie to prevent stretching — tuck ties inside or secure loosely.
• When in doubt about a delicate print or fabric, opt for professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Weekend casual: White sneakers and a denim jacket for an effortless, daytime outfit.
• Office-friendly: Layer a tailored blazer and swap the tie for a slim leather belt to create a more polished silhouette.
• Date night: Cinch the waist, add strappy sandals or heels and a clutch; keep jewelry minimal to let the heart print stand out.
• Layering: Wear a fitted turtleneck underneath for colder months, or add tights and ankle boots in autumn.
• Accessory ideas: Delicate gold or silver jewellery, a crossbody bag for daytime, or a bold lip for evening.
• Mix-and-match: Swap the fabric tie for a contrasting belt to change the look — wide belt for structure, thin belt for a subtle accent.
