Contrast Trim Square Neck Dress | Dark Blue / S 100100408931188

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Stand straight but relaxed and wear light underwear. Keep the tape horizontal and snug but not tight. Take each measurement twice for accuracy.

Body measurements (to choose your size)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, across the shoulder blades.
2. Waist: Measure around your natural waist (the narrowest part of your torso).
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips (about 20 cm / 8 in below the waist).
4. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder point to shoulder point across the back.
5. Desired length: Measure from the high point of shoulder (near the base of the neck) down to where you want the hem to fall.

Garment measurements (how we measure the dress)

Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface. Unless stated, flat measurements should be doubled to get the circumference.

1. Bust (flat): Measure across the dress from underarm seam to underarm seam, then double.
2. Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point and double.
3. Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt and double.
4. Front length: From the high point of shoulder to hem.
5. Shoulder width: From shoulder seam to shoulder seam (do not double).
6. Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to sleeve hem (if applicable).

Quick fit guidance: allow ~2–5 cm (0.8–2 in) of ease for a fitted look, ~6–12 cm (2.5–5 in) for a relaxed fit. Measure a similar garment you own for the best comparison.

Materials & details

Typical composition for the Contrast Trim Square Neck Dress (check the garment label for exact fibres):

• Shell (example): 97% polyester, 3% elastane — midweight, slight stretch for comfort.
• Contrast trim: 100% polyester or a polyester/cotton blend for crisp edge definition.
• Lining (if present): 100% polyester for smooth wear and modesty.

Feel & performance: midweight, structured to hold the square neckline with gentle stretch for ease of movement. Exact composition and finish can vary by color or style—refer to the sewn-in label for final details.

Model information

The model is 5'9" (175 cm) with measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) / Waist 24" (61 cm) / Hips 34" (86 cm). She is wearing a size S (UK 8 / US 4) in the photos to show a lightly fitted silhouette.

Fit note: This style is designed with a square neckline and a defined trim; if you prefer additional ease, consider sizing up or consult the size chart.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Always follow the specific care label on your garment. The guidance below helps protect shape, trim and colour:

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the contrast trim.
• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle or hand wash for the longest life.
• Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
• Fasten zips and remove any detachable trims or belts before washing.
• Reshape while damp and hang to dry or lay flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid high-heat tumble drying; if using a dryer choose a low setting only if the label permits.
• Iron on low heat inside out or use a steamer; use a pressing cloth over contrast trim to avoid shine or damage.
• For delicate trims or persistent stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
• Storage: hang on a padded hanger to preserve the square neckline, and use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage.

Quick stain tip: treat fresh stains promptly—blot (don’t rub) and use a gentle detergent solution or a specialist stain remover suitable for the fabric type.

Style Tips

• Neckline-friendly jewelry: A short pendant or delicate choker highlights the square neck—avoid long, heavy necklaces that compete with the neckline line.
• Layering: Pair with a cropped blazer or tailored jacket for work, a denim jacket for weekend, or a leather jacket for evenings.
• Belt it: Add a slim or medium-width belt (matching the contrast trim if you like) to define the waist and create an hourglass silhouette.
• Shoes: White sneakers or flat sandals for casual; loafers or block heels for day; strappy heels for evening.
• Accessories: Coordinate your bag or shoes with the contrast trim colour for a polished look. Statement earrings work well if you skip a necklace.
• Cold-weather styling: Add opaque tights and ankle boots; layer with a long coat or trench to keep proportions balanced.
• Hair: An updo or pulled-back style shows off the square neckline; loose waves soften the dress’s lines.

Outfit ideas:

1. Casual day: white sneakers, denim jacket, crossbody bag.
2. Office ready: cropped blazer, block-heeled pumps, structured tote, slim belt.
3. Evening out: strappy heels, statement earrings, clutch, light shawl.
