Openwork V-Neck Flare Sleeve Ruched Dress — Fit & Care Info

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Measure over lightweight undergarments or a well-fitting bra. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight. If possible, have a friend help for the most accurate results.

• Bust — Measure around the fullest part of your bust, across the shoulder blades. For a garment, lay it flat and measure across the chest from armpit to armpit, then multiply by 2.
• Waist — Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest part), usually above the belly button. For the dress, measure across the narrowest point and multiply by 2.
• Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips (about 7–9 inches / 18–23 cm below the natural waist). For a garment, measure flat across the fullest part and multiply by 2.
• Shoulder width — Measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other (from bone to bone).
• Sleeve length — From the shoulder seam (or shoulder tip) down to the end of the sleeve. For flare sleeves, also note the sleeve opening width (measure across the hem and multiply by 2).
• Arm circumference — Around the fullest part of your upper arm; useful for flare or voluminous sleeves.
• Dress length — From the high point of the shoulder (HPS) at the base of the neck down to the hem. For front length (if differing), measure from center front at the base of the neck to the hem.
• Hem width — Measure across the hem flat and multiply by 2 to get hem circumference.

Tips for garment measurements: lay the dress flat on a smooth surface, smooth out wrinkles and seams, measure across and multiply flat measurements by 2 to get circumference. Allow 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of ease for comfort unless the design is intentionally body-hugging. Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials (what to expect)

Exact fiber content varies by supplier—always check the product label or product detail panel. Typical components for an Openwork V‑Neck Flare Sleeve Ruched Dress include:

• Openwork overlay (lace/knit) — commonly polyester, nylon, viscose/rayon or cotton blends. Offers texture and visual interest but can be delicate and prone to snagging.
• Lining — often polyester or rayon blends (sometimes with a small % of elastane) to provide opacity and smooth drape.
• Elastane / Spandex — small percentages (2–8%) may be added to body or lining for stretch and to support the ruched contouring.
• Trims & thread — polyester or nylon thread; any hardware (hooks, eyelets) usually metal or coated alloy.

Material properties at a glance:

• Polyester/Nylon — durable, good shape retention, quick-drying; less breathable than natural fibers.
• Rayon/Viscose — soft, good drape, breathable but can wrinkle and may require delicate wash or dry clean.
• Cotton — breathable and comfortable but may shrink or lose crisp texture in delicate openwork.
• Elastane — adds recovery/stretch; avoid high heat when laundering.

Model information (example)

Typical model listing used for reference on product pages:

• Model height: 175 cm / 5'9"
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) · Waist 24" (61 cm) · Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S)
• Fit note: The ruched front gives slight shaping—this style generally fits true to size with some stretch. If you prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up.

Replace these example numbers with the actual model stats from your product page if available.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Check the label first. Follow any manufacturer care symbols and instructions on the garment tag.
2. Wash: When in doubt, hand wash cold with mild detergent or use a gentle cold machine cycle in a mesh laundry bag to protect the openwork. Avoid bleach and strong detergents.
3. Dry: Gently reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying—high heat can damage elastane and shrink delicate fibers.
4. Iron/Steam: Steam to remove wrinkles. If ironing is needed, use a low‑heat setting and press on the reverse side or use a protective cloth—do not iron directly on openwork or elasticized ruched sections.
5. Snag prevention & repair: Be careful with jewelry, bags and rough surfaces. If a snag occurs, gently pull the loop to the inside with a fine needle and secure if needed; for larger issues, seek a tailor.
6. Storage: Hang on a wide or padded hanger for shapes that benefit from hanging, or fold carefully with tissue paper for knits to avoid shoulder stretching. Keep away from rough surfaces that can catch the openwork.
7. Stain care: Treat promptly; blot (do not rub) with cold water and mild soap. For delicate openwork or persistent stains, professional dry cleaning is safest.

Style Tips

• Daytime casual: Pair with flat sandals or white sneakers and a denim jacket for an easy, textured look.
• Office-friendly: Layer a structured blazer over the dress and choose low-block heels or loafers. Use a narrow belt if you want a more defined waist under the blazer.
• Date night / evening: Elevate with strappy heels, a slim metallic clutch and statement earrings. A thin waist belt highlights the ruched detail for a flattering silhouette.
• Seasonal layering: In cooler months add opaque tights and ankle boots; finish with a long coat. For summer, wear a slip in a contrasting color under the openwork for a playful effect.
• Jewelry & accessories: Because of the V‑neck, a delicate pendant or a choker works well; flare sleeves pair nicely with simple bracelets or a ring stack (avoid oversized wristpieces that compete with sleeves).
• Slip tips: If the openwork is sheer, choose a slip that matches your tone for seamless coverage, or pick a contrasting color for a fashion-forward layered look.
