Jade By Jane Full Size Sleeveless Gingham Print Tiered Midi Dress — Measurements, Materials & Care

How to measure (to choose the right size)

Use a soft tape measure. Take each measurement with the tape snug but not tight, standing straight and relaxed. Record measurements in inches or centimeters.

Body measurements (measure yourself)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
2. Underbust: Measure directly under the bust for band/fit reference.
3. Waist: Measure at the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist), usually above the belly button.
4. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat (usually 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist).
5. Hollow-to-hem (dress length): Measure from the hollow at the base of your neck (center front) down to where you want the hem to fall (midi typically hits mid-calf).
6. Height: Note your height for proportion reference when comparing to product length.

Tip: Measure while wearing the undergarments you plan to wear with the dress (bra, shapewear).

Garment measurements (how we measure the dress for the product listing)

1. Lay the dress flat: Smooth gently without stretching.
2. Bust (flat): Measure straight across the chest from armpit seam to armpit seam and multiply by 2 to get circumference.
3. Waist (flat): Measure across the smallest point of the bodice, multiply by 2 for circumference.
4. Hip / lower skirt (flat): Measure across the widest skirt tier where the dress sits on the hips, multiply by 2.
5. Length (HPS to hem): Measure from the high point of the shoulder (next to the neck) down to the hem.
6. Shoulder width & armhole: Measure between shoulder seams and the depth/width of the armhole where relevant.

Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements (allow for ease — the amount of room in the garment — depending on how fitted or relaxed the style is).

Materials

Gingham dresses are most commonly made from woven cotton, cotton blends, or lightweight poly blends. Typical material details for a tiered gingham midi:

• Body fabric: Woven gingham — often 100% cotton or a cotton/polyester blend (gives crisp structure and breathability).
• Lining: Many styles are unlined (lightweight and breathable); some may have a partial lining at the bodice. Check the garment tag for exact details.
• Trim & notions: Buttons, elastic at the back or armholes, and sewn tiers are common.

Common fabric characteristics:

• Breathable and comfortable for warm weather (especially cotton).
• Light to medium weight with moderate structure to hold the tiered shape.
• Minimal natural stretch unless blended with elastane.

Always check the sewn care/composition label on your specific dress for exact fiber content before laundering.

Model & fit information (example)

Fit summary: The silhouette is sleeveless, empire/fit-and-flare with tiered skirt panels creating a relaxed A-line midi. It generally fits true to size; size up for additional room in the bust or if you prefer a looser silhouette.

• Example model details: Model is 5'9" (175 cm) and is wearing size 1X (approx. US 16–18). Example model measurements: Bust 42", Waist 34", Hips 44".
• How it sits: Bodice fits comfortably across the bust and flows out through the tiers — ideal for a forgiving, feminine shape.
• If you are between sizes: Consider your bust and waist measurements first. If you carry weight in the bust, size up; if you prefer a more fitted waist, choose the lower size and consider tailoring.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Read the label: Always follow the garment care label first — it has the exact instructions for that fabric blend.
2. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, or hand wash for extra care. Turn the dress inside out to protect the print and surface.
3. Detergent & bleach: Use a mild detergent. Avoid chlorine bleach; use non-chlorine bleach only if necessary.
4. Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry to preserve the shape and avoid shrinkage. If using a dryer, tumble dry low and remove promptly while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles.
5. Ironing & steaming: Iron on low to medium heat if needed; steam is preferred to remove wrinkles from tiered panels without flattening the shape.
6. Storage: Hang on a wide padded hanger to maintain shoulder shape or fold neatly to avoid stretching. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
7. Stain care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a straw tote for an easy weekend look.
• Elevated casual / brunch: Add a cropped denim jacket, espadrille wedges and a woven belt to define the waist.
• Dressed up: Swap to block-heel sandals, a structured clutch and dainty gold jewelry for a summer-party vibe.
• Layering: For cooler days, layer a lightweight blazer or longline cardigan — cropped jackets keep the waistline visible and flattering.
• Accessories: Use a slim or wide belt to create definition; choose bold earrings or a stacked necklace to draw attention upward.
• Proportion tips for plus sizes: A belt at the natural waist or just under the bust (empire) lifts and defines the silhouette. Nude or low-profile shoes and an open neckline help elongate the torso.
• Mixing prints: Keep other prints small or simple and in the same color family so the gingham remains the focal point.
