Paisley Print Tie Neck Half Sleeve Mini Dress

How to measure

To choose the best size, take body measurements wearing light undergarments and compare them to the product size chart. For the most accurate fit, measure both your body and a similar-fitting garment you already own.

Body measurements (how to measure yourself)

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally; don’t pull the tape too tight.
• Waist: Measure at your natural waist — the narrowest point between ribs and hips. Keep the tape comfortably snug.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks (usually 7–9 inches / 18–23 cm below the waist). Tape should be level.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam point to the other (or from outer edge to outer edge of the shoulder).
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the half sleeve.
• Dress length: Measure from the highest shoulder point (near the base of the neck) straight down to the hem to determine how the mini length will fall on you.

Garment measurements (how to measure the dress)

• Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching fabric.
• Bust (flat): Measure across the front from underarm seam to underarm seam. Double this measurement to get the full bust circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the bodice and double for full waist circumference.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt and double for full hip circumference.
• Sleeve length: Measure from shoulder seam to cuff.
• Dress length: Measure from center back neck (or shoulder point) to hem.
• When comparing body vs garment measurements, allow ease (typical comfortable ease: 2–4" / 5–10 cm at bust/hips). If you prefer a looser fit or the fabric has no stretch, size up.

Conversion: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Fabric and trim details — general guidance:

• Main fabric: Lightweight printed woven — commonly viscose (rayon) for soft drape and breathable feel, or polyester for easy care and colorfast prints. This type of fabric is generally non-stretch.
• Lining: Where present, a lightweight polyester lining is often used for opacity and comfort.
• Trim: Self-fabric tie at the neck; likely plastic or tonal buttons at the placket. No heavy hardware.

Note: Exact fibre composition and trims can vary by colour or production run. Please check the sewn-in care label or product specification on the product page for the precise material breakdown.

Model information

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S) — typical equivalent: UK 8 / US 4
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) · Waist 24" (61 cm) · Hips 34" (86 cm)
• Fit notes: The silhouette is a mini length with a slightly blouson bodice and tie-neck detail. On the model the hem falls above mid-thigh. If you are between sizes or prefer more ease, consider sizing up.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read the label first: Follow the sewn-in care label for the most accurate instructions.
• Washing: Hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle. Use a mesh laundry bag if machine washing to protect the tie and buttons.
• Detergent & bleach: Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and strong stain removers that can fade the print.
• Drying: Reshape and dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid tumble drying unless the care label explicitly permits low heat.
• Ironing/steaming: Iron on low heat on the reverse side or use a handheld steamer to refresh the drape. For viscose blends, iron while slightly damp or steam carefully.
• Storage: Hang on a padded hanger to preserve shoulder shape or fold gently. Keep away from rough surfaces and sharp accessories to avoid snags.
• Quick care tips: Spot-clean small marks promptly, turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the print, and avoid over-washing—airing or steaming between wears helps maintain the fabric.

Style Tips

• Casual: Wear with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for a relaxed weekend look.
• Work-friendly: Add a cropped blazer, opaque tights and low block heels; tie the neck in a neat bow for a polished finish.
• Evening: Swap to strappy heels, statement earrings and a clutch. Knot the tie loosely or remove the bow for a deeper neckline.
• Layering in cooler weather: Pair with an oversized cardigan or leather jacket, add tights and ankle or knee-high boots. A slim belt helps define the waist.
• Tie-neck versatility: Tie into a classic bow, knot for a simpler look, or let the ties hang for a bohemian feel.
• Accessories: Gold-tone jewelry complements warm paisley tones; choose a neutral leather crossbody for day or a small tonal clutch for night.
