Honey Melo Apparel Plus Size Embroidery Round Neck Long Sleeve Maxi Dress | Black / 3XL 100101361988262

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure over light, form‑fitting clothing or underwear. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight. If possible, have someone help for the most accurate results.

Body measurements (to choose the best size)

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally while measuring.
• High bust: Measure above the bust, just under the arms — useful for upper‑chest fit.
• Underbust: Measure directly beneath the breasts (important for empire styles or fitted bodices).
• Waist (natural): Measure at the narrowest part of the torso, usually above the belly button. Do not suck in.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat (usually 7–9 in / 18–23 cm below the waist). Keep the tape level.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder tip to tip.
• Upper arm circumference: Measure around the fullest part of the upper arm.
• Sleeve length: For long sleeves measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist; or measure from center back of neck across shoulder to wrist for full sleeve length.
• Dress length (HPS): Measure from the high point of shoulder (where shoulder meets base of neck) straight down to the desired hem (ankle, floor, etc.).

Garment measurements (if you can lay the dress flat)

• Flat bust (1/2 chest): Measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam, then double for full circumference.
• Waist: Measure across the narrowest point of the front and double it.
• Hip: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt and double it.
• Shoulder (seam to seam): Measure across the back from shoulder seam to seam.
• Sleeve length (seam): Measure along the sleeve from shoulder seam to cuff.
• Total length: Measure from center back neck or HPS down to the hem.
• Hem width (1/2): Measure across the hem and double for the full hem circumference.

Fit guidance: Allow additional ease for comfort—about 2–4 in (5–10 cm) ease at the bust for a more fitted look, 4–6 in (10–15 cm) for a relaxed fit, and 6–8 in (15–20 cm) or more for an oversized look. If you fall between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort, especially in plus sizes.

Materials

Exact composition can vary by production run—always check the garment label for the final fabric breakdown. Typical materials and construction for an embroidered plus‑size maxi like this include:

• Main fabric: Often a blend such as 95% polyester / 5% spandex or a rayon/viscose blend with a small percentage of spandex. These blends provide soft drape, modest stretch and easy care.
• Embroidery thread: Usually polyester or rayon threads for colorfastness and durability.
• Lining (if present): Lightweight polyester lining is commonly used in the bodice or skirt to prevent transparency.
• Hardware: Any zippers, buttons or closures are typically polyester or metal; follow care instructions to protect them.

Material characteristics: Polyester blends — wrinkle resistant, quick drying, and low‑maintenance. Rayon/viscose — soft with a fluid drape but may need gentler care. Spandex — adds stretch for comfort and recovery. If you have sensitive skin or concerns, check the label and fabric content before purchase.

Model information

Example model details (for reference — replace with the product's actual model stats if available):

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the embroidery.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and avoid chlorine bleach.
• Use a mesh laundry bag for machine washing to reduce friction and snagging.
• Do not overload the washer — gentle movement reduces strain on seams and decoration.
• Air dry by hanging or laying flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid high‑heat tumble drying; if needed, tumble on low and remove promptly.
• Steam to remove wrinkles. If ironing is necessary, iron on the reverse side or use a pressing cloth over embroidery and set iron to the fabric's recommended low/medium heat.
• Spot treat stains promptly and gently; avoid aggressive rubbing on embroidered areas.
• Store on a broad hanger or folded with tissue paper to preserve shape and protect embroidery.
• If the label advises, or for heavy embellishment, consider professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Belt it: Add a soft belt or sash to define the waist and add shape to the flowing maxi silhouette.
• Layering: Pair with a cropped denim jacket or a short leather jacket for contrast; a long cardigan gives boho flair.
• Footwear: Wedge sandals or block heels for warm seasons; ankle boots or heeled booties for cooler months; flats or sneakers for a casual look.
• Jewelry: A long pendant or layered necklaces complement the round neckline; choose earrings that echo the embroidery colors.
• Proportions: If the dress is full in the skirt, balance it with a more fitted jacket or a defined waist. For a body‑skimming dress, add a structured blazer for polish.
• Day to night: Transition to evening with a heel, a clutch and statement earrings; keep daytime looks relaxed with sandals and a tote.
• Seasonal tweaks: Add tights and a wool coat for winter; lightweight scarves and sandals work for spring/summer.
• Alterations: Minor tailoring (shortening the hem or taking in the waist) can make a maxi perfect for your proportions.
