Stripe Ric Rac Trim Sleeveless Mini Dress

How to measure this dress

Below are clear steps for measuring the garment (flat) and for measuring your body so you can choose the best fit. When we list garment measurements we measure the dress laid flat and double across where noted to get the full circumference.

Measuring the garment (flat-lay method)

1. Bust (chest) — Lay the dress flat. Measure straight across the front at the fullest part of the bust (usually about 1" / 2.5 cm below the armhole seam). Multiply that number by 2 for the full bust circumference.
2. Waist — Measure across the narrowest part of the bodice (or where the dress naturally sits at the waist). Multiply by 2 for the full waist circumference.
3. Hips — With the dress flat, measure across the widest part of the skirt (typically 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist). Multiply by 2 for the full hip circumference.
4. Length (HPS to hem) — Measure from the high point of shoulder (HPS, the highest seam at the neckline) straight down to the hem.
5. Shoulder width — Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
6. Armhole — Measure from the top of the armhole seam down to the bottom of the armhole and across (for circumference, measure the seam around or measure front + back and combine).

Tips: Lay the dress on a flat, smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric. Use a flexible tape measure and record measurements in both cm and inches. Allow 1–2 cm (¼–¾") tolerance for manufacturing variance.

Measuring your body (to compare against garment measurements)

• Bust — Measure around the fullest part of your bust with a bra on, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Waist — Measure around the natural waist (the smallest part of your torso), usually above the belly button.
• Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.
• Height / Desired length — If you want a specific skirt length, measure down from the high point of shoulder to the desired hemline.

Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements, and allow for ease (how loose/tight you want the dress to feel). If you prefer a roomier fit, choose the next size up.

Materials & fabric details

Typical composition for a striped ric rac trimmed sleeveless mini dress and what to expect from each component:

• Main fabric — Lightweight woven stripe (commonly cotton, viscose, or a cotton/viscose/polyester blend). Expect breathable, soft hand-feel and a gentle drape for summer wear.
• Trim — Ric rac braid (usually polyester or cotton-blend trim) applied along hems or bodice edges for decorative contrast and texture.
• Lining — Some styles are unlined; when present the lining is typically a lightweight polyester or viscose to improve opacity and comfort.
• Stretch — Many woven striped minis are non-stretch; some blends include a small percent of elastane for slight give. Check the sewn-in label for exact fiber percentages.

Note: For the exact fiber content and country of origin, refer to the garment’s care label or the detailed product specifications on the page.

Model information & fit notes

• Example model — Height: 5'9" (175 cm). Model is wearing a size S (UK 8 / US 4) in the product photo.
• Example model measurements — Bust: 32" (81 cm) • Waist: 24" (61 cm) • Hips: 34" (86 cm).
• Fit — This dress is designed to be fitted through the bodice with a gently flared skirt for a relaxed mini silhouette. If you are between sizes or prefer extra ease, consider sizing up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Follow the sewn-in care label first — instructions there override general guidance.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the ric rac trim and printed stripes.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors and a mild detergent. Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
• Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers that can damage trim and fade stripes.
• Reshape and dry flat or hang to dry in the shade to prevent shrinking and to preserve color; avoid high-heat tumble drying unless the label permits.
• Iron on low heat on the reverse side; use a pressing cloth to protect trims. Avoid direct, prolonged heat on ric rac braid.
• For persistent stains, structured trims, or delicate finishes, consider professional dry cleaning if recommended on the label.
• Storage tip: Hang on a shaped hanger or fold with tissue to prevent creases and protect trims from friction.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a straw tote for an easy weekend look.
• Dressed-up: Add block heels, a slim belt to cinch the waist, and statement earrings for a summer evening out.
• Layering: For chillier mornings or evenings try a cropped denim jacket, lightweight cardigan, or a structured blazer for a smart-casual twist.
• Accessories: Complement the playful ric rac with woven textures — raffia bag, braided belt or beaded bracelets — and warm metallic jewelry (gold-tone or brass) to keep the look fresh.
• Occasions: Perfect for brunches, holiday strolls, daytime parties, or casual weddings when paired with the right shoes and accessories.
