Zenana Tencel Mineral Washed Collared Shirts Dress

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For best accuracy measure two or three times and round to the nearest 0.5 in / 1 cm. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements listed on the product page.

Measuring the garment (laid flat)

• Bust (chest): Lay the dress flat, smooth any wrinkles. Measure from one underarm seam straight across to the other and double that number for full bust circumference.
• Waist: Measure across the narrowest part of the dress, double for circumference.
• Hips: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt (roughly 8–10" / 20–25 cm below the waist), double for circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Front length: From the highest point of the shoulder at the neckline (or center front at collar seam) down to the hem.
• Center back length: From the center back of the neck (where the collar meets the neck) down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure across the hem and double for the full hem circumference.

Measuring your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape level and arms relaxed.
• Waist: Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest point); keep tape snug but not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips with feet together.
• Length preference: Note your height and where you prefer a dress hem to fall (above knee, knee-length, midi) and compare with the garment's center back/front length.

Tip: If flat garment measurements are given as “half” measurements, multiply by two to compare to body circumference. Allow 1–2" (2–5 cm) of ease for a relaxed shirt-dress; adjust up or down depending on desired fit.

Materials & fabric information

Information about the fabric and finish used in this style:

• Main fiber — TENCEL™ (Lyocell): A cellulose-based fiber made from wood pulp. Tencel is known for a soft, smooth hand, excellent drape, breathability and moisture management; it feels cool and comfortable on the skin.
• Mineral wash finish: A washing/finishing process that softens the fabric and produces a subtle vintage, slightly faded look with slight variations between pieces. The finish increases softness and gives a lived-in aesthetic.
• Performance: Tencel resists excessive pilling, handles dye well, and wears comfortably. Mineral-washed garments may show slight color variation and can release a little excess dye on the first wash—wash separately the first time.
• Sustainability: Lyocell/Tencel is typically produced in a closed-loop system that reuses solvents; fibers are biodegradable and often sourced from responsibly managed forests. Check the garment label for certifications and the exact fiber blend.
• Composition reminder: Some pieces are 100% Tencel; others include small percentages of cotton, linen or elastane for structure or stretch. Refer to the sewn-in care label for precise content for this specific dress.

Model & fit details

Reference details to help gauge fit (for visual guidance):

• Fit summary: Relaxed shirt-dress silhouette with a button-front and classic collar. Can be worn loose or cinched with a belt to create a defined waist.
• Fit advice: If you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down; for more layering room or a relaxed fit, size up. Always compare your measurements to the garment measurements on the page.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• First wash: Wash separately or with similar colors—mineral-washed fabrics may release extra dye initially.
• Machine wash: Cold water, gentle cycle. Turn the garment inside out and use a mild detergent.
• Hand wash: Use cool water and gentle detergent; avoid wringing—press water out gently.
• Bleach & harsh chemicals: Do not use chlorine bleach. Avoid strong chemical treatments that can damage the finish.
• Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to minimize additional fading. Tumble dry on low if necessary and remove promptly.
• Ironing/steaming: Iron on a low to medium setting or use a steamer. Work on the reverse side to protect the mineral-washed finish.
• Fabric softener: Avoid heavy fabric softeners—they can coat fibers and reduce moisture-wicking performance.
• Stain removal: Pre-treat stains with a mild detergent; test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid stain removers with strong bleaches.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped hanger or fold neatly in a cool, dry place. Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Between washes: Refresh with a garment steamer or air out on a hanger; spot-clean when possible to extend time between full washes.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Wear loose with white sneakers and a crossbody bag for a relaxed, effortless look.
• Define the waist: Add a slim leather or woven belt to transform the silhouette into a more tailored shape.
• Office-ready: Layer a structured blazer over the dress and finish with loafers or low heels for a polished outfit.
• Seasonal layering: For cooler days, add a thin turtleneck underneath, tights and ankle boots; top with a long coat for warmth.
• Summery vibe: Roll sleeves, add a straw hat and espadrille wedges with layered, lightweight jewelry for vacation-ready styling.
• Versatile topper: Wear the dress open like a lightweight jacket over jeans and a tee for an extra-casual look.
• Accessories: Try mixed-metal jewelry, a structured tote for day, or a clutch and block heels to dress it up for evenings.
• Pro tip: Knot the front hem or do a half-tuck to change the silhouette quickly and add visual interest.
