Abstract Print Belted Short Sleeve Midi Dress

How to measure (garment and body)

Use these simple steps to measure the dress (recommended) and to measure your body so you can choose the best size.

• Prepare: Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface. Zip or fasten closures and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
• Bust (garment): Measure straight across the fullest part of the bust from seam to seam. Double that measurement to get the full circumference.
• Waist (garment): Measure across the narrowest part (usually where the belt sits). Double to get the circumference.
• Hip (garment): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt (about 18–20 cm / 7–8" down from the waist or at the fullest point). Double to get circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve hem.
• Centre back length: Measure from the base of the neck (center back) down to the hem to confirm midi length.
• Belt: Measure the belt end-to-end (including any buckle) to know how it will sit when tied or fastened.
• Measuring yourself: For body measurements, measure the fullest part of your bust, the natural waist (bend side to find it), and the fullest part of hips while standing with feet together.
• Fit allowance: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements and allow 2–6 cm (1–2") of ease at bust/hip depending on how fitted or relaxed you prefer the dress to sit.
• Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials & fabric

Many abstract-print, belted midi dresses are made from lightweight woven fabrics chosen for drape and color retention. If exact composition is not listed here, please check the product specification or the garment label for precise details.

• Common compositions: polyester, viscose (rayon), viscose blends, or lightweight cotton blends. Some styles include a small percentage of elastane for slight stretch.
• Lining: where present, linings are typically polyester or cupro for opacity and smooth wear.
• Typical characteristics: good drape, holds print/color well, wrinkle-resistant if polyester; viscose gives a softer, more breathable hand but may need gentler care.
• Tip: If you need something specific (e.g., breathable natural fiber, biodegradable options), consult the product spec or label before purchase.

Model information & fit (reference)

The images are commonly shot on a model to show fit as a reference. Typical photo reference used in many product pages:

• Reference model (example): Height ~5'9" (175 cm); wearing size S.
• How it fits: Tailored through the bodice with an adjustable belt to define the waist; falls to mid-calf (midi) on taller heights. Generally true to size—size up for extra ease or if you prefer a more relaxed fit.
• Advice: Always compare the garment measurements above with your body measurements and allow for ease to achieve the fit you like.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Before washing: Remove the belt, fasten closures, and turn the dress inside out to protect the print.
• Washing: Machine wash on a gentle/cold cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and wash with like colours.
• Drying: Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid high heat tumble drying unless the care label explicitly allows it.
• Ironing & steaming: Use a low to medium iron setting suitable for the fabric (check label). Steaming is gentler for printed fabrics and helps remove creases without direct heat.
• Stain care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; test on an inside seam first. Avoid bleach unless garment label permits.
• Storage: Hang on a padded hanger to preserve shape or fold neatly for long-term storage. Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
• Dry clean: If the label recommends dry cleaning (often for viscose blends or delicate trims), follow that guidance to protect fabric and print.

Style tips

• Daytime: Pair with flat sandals or white sneakers and a denim jacket for an effortless, casual look.
• Work or smart-casual: Add a tailored blazer, low-heel mules or loafers, and a structured tote. Tuck or tie the belt to define the waist.
• Evening: Swap to heeled sandals or strappy pumps, add a clutch and delicate jewelry to elevate the print.
• Season transitions: Layer a cropped knit or leather jacket in cooler months; add opaque tights and ankle boots for fall/winter.
• Accessories: Keep jewelry simple to let the abstract print pop — thin gold or silver hoops, a slim bracelet, or a statement ring work well.
• Belt styling: Wear the belt centered for a classic silhouette, tied slightly off-center for a modern twist, or remove the belt to enjoy a looser, column-like shape.

Note: If you require exact fabric composition, model measurements, or technical garment dimensions to display on your product page, replace the example/model reference with your shoot data or the product specification details.
