Umgee Floral Ruffled Cap Sleeve Tiered Dress

How to measure

Body measurements (how the customer should measure themselves)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust while wearing a well-fitting bra. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight.
2. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part of your torso), usually just above the belly button. Breathe normally.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, typically 7–9 inches below the natural waistline. Keep the tape level.
4. High point shoulder (HPS) to hem / Dress length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the dress hem to fall.
5. Arm / bicep: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm if you are concerned about sleeve fit.

Garment (flat) measurements — for taking the dress measurements

1. Lay the dress flat: Place on a flat surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Bust (flat): Measure straight across the dress, 1" below the armholes, then double that number to get the full bust circumference.
3. Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the bodice, then double to get circumference.
4. Hip / skirt (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt (or the hem if more relevant), then double for circumference.
5. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back (if the style has shoulder seams).
6. Length: Measure from the high point shoulder (HPS) to the hem along the center front.
7. Sleeve / cap sleeve: For a cap sleeve, measure from the top of the shoulder to the sleeve edge; for set sleeves measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff.
8. Notes: Always state whether measurements are flat or doubled and whether they were taken with the garment lying flat or on a mannequin. Allow 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of ease for a comfortable fit unless the style is meant to be fitted.

Materials & fabric details

Many Umgee tiered floral dresses use lightweight woven fabrics with a soft drape and a smooth lining for opacity. Exact fiber content can vary by print and season—always check the garment tag or product detail page for the official fiber contents. Typical characteristics for this style include:

• Shell: Lightweight woven (rayon/viscose or polyester chiffon) — soft, breathable, and drapey.
• Lining: Lightweight polyester or rayon lining for coverage and smooth feel.
• Stretch: Often minimal; some blends include a small percentage of spandex for comfort. If stretch is important, verify the composition.
• Opacity: Usually fully lined through the skirt for non-sheer coverage; check product photos and descriptions if transparency is a concern.
• Print & color: Printed fabrics may have slight color variation between dye lots—wash with like colors to maintain vibrancy.

Model information & fit notes

Model reference: Model is 5'9" (175 cm) and is wearing a size Small. Typical model measurements for reference: Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm).

Fit: This dress features a relaxed bodice and a tiered, flowy skirt with ruffled cap sleeves. It skims the body rather than clings—if you prefer a more fitted silhouette, consider sizing down if your bust measurement comfortably fits the smaller size; size up for extra ease at the hips or for layering. Check the product size chart for garment measurements before ordering.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first—follow any manufacturer-specific instructions.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect prints and ruffles; put delicate items in a mesh laundry bag.
• Do not tumble dry if possible—reshape and hang to dry or lay flat to preserve the tiers and ruffles and to prevent shrinkage.
• Remove promptly from washer to reduce wrinkles. Use a steamer or low‑heat iron on the reverse side to smooth creases; avoid direct high heat on trims and ruffles.
• Dry clean when recommended on the label or if the garment has trims/embellishments that could be damaged by home washing.
• Store on a hanger (padded if available) to maintain shape; do not cram with heavier items to avoid crushing ruffles.
• Quick fixes: steam to revive fabric between wears, spot clean small marks immediately, and use a gentle fabric refresher to keep it fresh while avoiding over-washing.

Style tips

• Everyday / casual: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for an easy daytime look. Add a crossbody bag and simple studs.
• Date night / summer party: Elevate with strappy block heels or wedges, layered delicate necklaces, and a small clutch. A thin belt at the waist defines shape and adds polish.
• Vacation / beach: Wear over a swimsuit with slide sandals, a wide-brim straw hat, and oversized sunglasses for a relaxed resort vibe.
• Office-friendly: Add a tailored blazer or lightweight cardigan and closed-toe mules or low heels. Keep jewelry minimal and neutral accessories for a refined look.
• Transitional weather: Layer with a leather moto or cropped jacket and ankle boots. Add tights under the dress on cooler days.
• Accessories: A slim belt to cinch the waist, statement earrings to frame the face, or a layered necklace to complement the neckline work beautifully. Match footwear color to a hue in the print for a cohesive outfit.
• Alterations & hacks: If the length is long, try a cuff or a delicate hem alteration to shorten. For a different silhouette, add a slip or petticoat for more volume in the tiers.
