Slit Printed Surplice Maxi Dress

How to measure

Use a soft, flexible tape measure. Measure over close-fitting garments or underwear, stand naturally, and keep the tape parallel to the floor. Ask someone to help for more accurate results.

Measuring your body

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your back. Wear the bra you plan to wear with the dress.
2. Waist (natural): Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist), without pulling the tape tight.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat with your feet together.
4. Center back length: From the base of the neck (where a top seam would sit) straight down the back to where you want the hem to fall—this determines maxi length on your height.
5. Slit height (if relevant): Measure from the hem upward along the side seam to the start of the slit to understand exposure.
6. Shoulder width (optional): Measure from shoulder bone to shoulder bone across the back if concerned about fit across the shoulders.

Measuring the garment (if laid flat)

• Bust (laid flat): Measure straight across the front at the fullest bust point and double that number for circumference.
• Waist (laid flat): Measure across the narrowest part and double for circumference.
• Hips (laid flat): Measure across the widest part of the skirt and double for circumference.
• Center back length: Measure from center back neckline down to hem along the back seam.
• Slit: Measure from the hem upward to the top of the slit/opening.

Quick tips: Keep tape snug but not tight, measure twice, and compare body measurements to the product's garment measurements/size chart for best fit.

Materials (typical)

Printed surplice maxi dresses are commonly made from these fabrics. Always check the garment label for the exact composition and care instructions.

• Viscose (rayon): Soft, breathable with excellent drape—great for floaty silhouettes and vivid prints. May wrinkle and may require gentle laundering.
• Polyester / Crepe: Lightweight, colorfast and wrinkle resistant; usually easy-care and holds printed patterns well.
• Chiffon (polyester or silk): Sheer and airy—often layered over a lining. Delicate feel; usually hand-wash or dry-clean recommended.
• Blends with elastane (e.g., 95/5): Small stretch content gives better fit and comfort around the bust and hips while retaining shape.

Trim, lining and elastic details may use different fibers—refer to the product tag for the full breakdown.

Model information

Reference model details used for photography (use these as a guide for how the dress may fit):

• Model height: 178 cm / 5'10"
• Wearing size: S (sample)
• Model measurements: Bust 81 cm / 32", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35"
• Fit note: On this height the dress reaches the ankle and the slit falls around mid-thigh. Taller or shorter wearers will see different overall length and slit placement.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read the care label first: Follow any brand-specific directions on the sewn-in tag.
• Washing: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle cycle inside a mesh bag using mild detergent. Wash with like colors.
• Drying: Reshape and hang to dry or lay flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying unless the label allows it.
• Ironing & steaming: Turn inside out and iron on a low to medium setting appropriate for the fiber; use a pressing cloth to avoid shine. A steamer is gentler and preserves prints and delicate fabrics.
• Stain care: Treat stains promptly—blot (don’t rub) and test stain removers on a hidden seam first.
• Dry clean: Consider dry-cleaning for delicate linings, metallic trims, or if the care label specifies “dry clean only.”
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to avoid shoulder marks; for delicate or heavy garments, fold and store flat if worried about stretching.
• Maintenance: Mend loose threads early, remove pills gently, and avoid spraying perfume directly on the fabric to prevent stains.

Style Tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with flat sandals or espadrilles, a denim jacket and a straw bag for effortless warm-weather styling.
• Evening: Elevate with strappy heels, a clutch and bold earrings; a slim metallic or leather belt can add polish and define the waist.
• Work or smart-casual: Layer under a fitted blazer and choose closed-toe heels or mules for a refined look that still feels feminine.
• Layering & cooler weather: Add a cropped leather jacket or a chunky knit and ankle boots to balance the dress's flowy silhouette.
• Undergarment tips: For the surplice V-neck, use low-profile bras, adhesive cups or fashion tape to secure the wrap. A lightweight slip helps with coverage if the fabric is slightly sheer.
• Length & footwear: If the maxi hem skims the floor, heels or platforms help prevent dragging. For a flat shoe preference, consider a small hem adjustment by a tailor.
• Accessory guidance: Keep accessories in harmony with the print—pick one color from the pattern for coordination, or use neutrals to let the print stand out.

Note: Exact fit and fabric specifics may vary by batch—refer to the product size chart and the garment label for the most accurate information before purchase or care.
