Ruched V-Neck Sleeveless Dress with Pockets | Black / S 100100457101043

How to measure

Follow these steps to measure your body or the garment so you can choose the best size and fit for the Ruched V‑Neck Sleeveless Dress with Pockets.

Measuring your body

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest while wearing a lightly lined bra. Keep the tape level and snug but not tight.
2. Waist: Measure at the narrowest point (natural waist), usually just above the belly button.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and backside (about 7–9 inches / 18–23 cm below the waist), keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
4. Dress length: Stand straight and measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) down to where you want the hem to fall.

Measuring the garment (lay flat)

1. Chest (armpit to armpit): Lay the dress flat and measure across the chest about 1 inch / 2.5 cm below the armholes. Double this flat measurement to get the full circumference.
2. Waist: Measure across the narrowest point of the dress; double the flat measurement for circumference.
3. Hips: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt; double the flat measurement for circumference.
4. Center back length: Measure from the center back neckline straight down to the hem while the dress is flat.
5. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
6. Hem width: Measure across the hem and double to get circumference.

Fit note: Ruching and stretch can affect how measurements translate to fit. This style typically has some stretch—choose the size that matches your bust measurement for a fitted look, or allow 1–3" (2.5–7.5 cm) additional ease for a more relaxed fit.

Materials

Common fabric details for this style (please check the garment label for exact composition):

• Main fabric: Typically 95% polyester, 5% spandex (stretch jersey) — soft, midweight, with good recovery for ruching.
• Lining: Often unlined; pockets are usually made from self-fabric.
• Pockets: Side-seam pockets constructed from the same fabric as the dress.
• Trim & construction: Stitched hems and neckline; no heavy hardware.

Note: Fabrication can vary by color or batch—always refer to the sewn-in care/fiber content label for the exact materials of your item.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash to preserve stretch and color.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Turn the dress inside out and empty pockets before washing to reduce abrasion.
• Reshape and hang or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat tumble drying to protect elasticity and prevent shrinkage.
• If needed, steam or iron on a low setting on the reverse side—avoid direct high heat on elastic areas.
• Store folded or on padded hangers to prevent shoulder stretching; avoid prolonged direct sunlight to reduce fading.
• Follow any special instructions on the garment’s care label (some finishes may recommend dry clean only).

Style tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for an easy, comfortable look.
• Office-ready: Add a tailored blazer and low-heeled pumps; keep jewelry minimal for a polished appearance.
• Evening: Swap to strappy heels, add statement earrings and a clutch to elevate the ruched silhouette.
• Define your waist: Add a slim belt over the ruching to change the silhouette and emphasize shape.
• Layering: For cooler days, wear with a cropped leather jacket, longline coat, or chunky knit cardigan and ankle boots.
• Flattering features: The V‑neck elongates the torso and ruching flatters the midsection—great for creating a balanced silhouette.
• Pocket perk: Use the side pockets for small essentials and for a relaxed, hands‑in‑pockets look.
