SYNZ Gingham Check Bubble Sleeve Ruffled Maxi Dress

How to measure this dress (garment measurements)

For the most accurate fit, measure the actual garment laid flat on a smooth surface using a flexible tape. Record measurements in cm and inches. When a measurement is taken seam-to-seam, multiply by 2 to get the full circumference.

1. Bust (chest): Measure flat from one underarm seam to the other (pit-to-pit). Multiply by 2 for full bust circumference.
2. Waist: Measure across the narrowest part of the bodice (natural waist seam) seam-to-seam. Multiply by 2.
3. Hip / Fullest part of skirt: Measure across the skirt at the fullest section (or ~20 cm / 8" below the waist) seam-to-seam. Multiply by 2.
4. Shoulder width (back): Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
5. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve end (for bubble sleeves, measure to the cuff).
6. Upper arm (bicep) / sleeve circumference: Measure the sleeve at its widest point when laid flat, then multiply by 2. For bubble sleeves, capture both the widest puff and the cuff width to show fullness.
7. Sleeve opening / cuff circumference: Measure the cuff seam-to-seam and double it to get the full cuff circumference (important for how the sleeve will sit on the arm).
8. Dress length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder at the base of the neck (HPS) straight down to the hem. For maxi dresses, center-back length is commonly used.
9. Hem width / skirt opening: Measure the hem laid flat across and multiply by 2 to get the full hem circumference.

Tips for accuracy: Keep the tape parallel to the floor, do not stretch the fabric while measuring, measure twice to confirm, and compare garment measurements to your body measurements plus desired ease (allow ~5–10 cm / 2–4" for a relaxed fit).

Materials & fabric information

Gingham check maxi dresses are most often made from breathable woven fabrics or lightweight drapey materials. Check the product page or care label for the exact composition.

• 100% Cotton: Crisp, breathable and ideal for warm weather. Comfortable but may wrinkle and can shrink slightly if washed in hot water.
• Cotton–Polyester blend: Combines breathability with reduced wrinkling and improved durability; easier care and less shrinkage.
• Polyester / Polyester crepe: Good drape and color retention, low maintenance, dries quickly; less breathable than natural fibers.
• Viscose / Rayon: Soft hand and fluid drape; comfortable and cool, but often requires gentle washing or professional care due to potential shrinkage.
• Linen blends: Highly breathable with a textured look; naturally prone to creasing but great for a relaxed aesthetic.
• Lining (if present): Typically polyester or cotton blend to provide opacity and a smooth feel against the skin.

Quick cue: A structured crisp look usually signals cotton or a cotton blend; a soft flowing silhouette suggests viscose or a lightweight polyester.

Model information (example)

Below is an example model block to display on product pages — replace these numbers with the actual model details for this exact listing.

• Model measurements: Bust 84 cm (33") • Waist 61 cm (24") • Hips 89 cm (35")

How to use it: Compare your body measurements to the model’s and to the garment measurements above. If you’re close to the model’s proportions and like the shown fit, the same size is a good starting point; if you prefer more ease or a more fitted look, size up or down accordingly.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Because this dress features ruffles and voluminous sleeves, gentle handling will keep details crisp and prevent misshaping.

• Washing: Prefer gentle cycle in cold water or hand wash. Turn the dress inside out and use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Drying: Reshape while damp and hang or lay flat to dry in shade. Avoid high-heat tumble drying — if necessary, tumble dry on low or air-dry setting.
• Ironing & steaming: Steam to refresh ruffles and remove wrinkles. If ironing, work on the reverse side at the heat level recommended for the fabric and use a pressing cloth on delicate trims.
• Stain care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle spot cleaner; test first in an inconspicuous spot. Avoid hot water on protein- or oil-based stains until treated.
• Storage: Hang on a padded or shaped hanger to preserve shoulder shape and sleeve volume. If folding, avoid sharp creases in the ruffles; store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Dry clean: Follow label instructions — if the tag recommends dry cleaning (common with delicate finishes or mixed fibers), prefer professional care.
• Extra tips: Fasten buttons and ties before washing, avoid overloading the machine, and remove the garment promptly from wash/dryer to reduce wrinkles. Use a fabric shaver cautiously if pilling occurs.

Style tips

Ways to style the SYNZ gingham maxi to suit different occasions:

• Casual day: White sneakers or flat espadrilles, a woven crossbody, and a straw hat for an easy daytime look.
• Brunch / daytime event: Wedges or block heels, a slim leather belt to define the waist, and delicate jewelry.
• Garden party / summer wedding: Heeled sandals, statement earrings, and a small clutch. Consider a cropped bolero or shawl for added coverage.
• Work-smart: Layer with a tailored blazer that has roomy armholes so the bubble sleeves sit comfortably; pair with loafers or low block heels.
• Transitional weather: Add a denim jacket or long cardigan and swap sandals for ankle boots.
• Accessories: A slim belt balances the volume of the sleeves and skirt, while simple necklaces and studs let the gingham and ruffle details remain the focus.
• Pattern mixing: Keep other patterns small-scale or tonal. Gingham pairs well with subtle florals, lightweight stripes, or solid textured pieces for contrast.

Pro tip: Because of the dress’ volume at the sleeves and hem, balancing the silhouette with a defined waist or sleeker footwear usually yields the most flattering proportions.
