Deep V-Neck Balloon Sleeve Plain Maxi Dress

How to measure

To choose the best size, measure your body and—when possible—compare those numbers with the garment measurements. Measure while wearing lightweight underwear and stand relaxed.

How to measure your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Waist: Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest point), keeping the tape comfortable, not tight.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips (usually about 20 cm / 8" below the waist) with feet together.
• Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder bone to shoulder bone.
• Sleeve length: From the top of the shoulder (where a seam would sit) down to the wrist with the arm slightly bent.
• Dress length: From the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) down to where you want the hem to fall.

How to measure the garment (flat-lay)

• Chest (armpit-to-armpit): Lay the dress flat and measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other; multiply by two for circumference.
• Waist: Measure across the narrowest point while flat and double the result.
• Hips: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt (about 20 cm / 8" below the waist) and double.
• Shoulder width: Measure seam-to-seam across the back.
• Sleeve length: Measure from shoulder seam to cuff along the top of the sleeve.
• Total length: Measure from the highest shoulder point to the hem.

Sizing tip: Allow 2–8 cm (1–3") of ease depending on whether you want a close or relaxed fit. If between sizes, choose the larger size for the intended maxi silhouette or if you plan to layer underneath.

Materials & fabric information

Typical fabric for this style is a lightweight, drapey woven often described as viscose (rayon) or a viscose blend. Example composition used for similar styles: 95% viscose / 5% elastane. Check the product label for the exact composition of the color/production you purchase.

• Viscose (rayon): Soft, breathable with a fluid drape that flatters a maxi silhouette; pleasant against the skin but can be prone to wrinkling and needs gentle care.
• Elastane (if present): Adds slight stretch for comfort and improved recovery at seams and cuffs.
• Polyester lining (if used): Adds opacity and structure in the bodice or skirt lining areas.

Fabric feel: Lightweight and soft with medium drape—enough body to hold a balloon-sleeve shape without feeling stiff. Breathable and versatile for day-to-evening wear.

Model information

Model height: 177 cm (5'10") • Wearing size: S (UK 8 / EU 36 / US 4)

Model measurements (example): Bust 82 cm (32"), Waist 62 cm (24.5"), Hips 89 cm (35"). On this model the dress falls to ankle length and displays the intended relaxed maxi silhouette with voluminous balloon sleeves.

Fit note: This dress is designed with a relaxed body and voluminous sleeves. If you prefer a closer fit through the torso, consider sizing down; if you need more coverage in the bust or want extra ease, size up.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Always check the garment care label first.
• Washing: Hand wash in cold water or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle with similar colors. Turn the dress inside out and use a mild detergent.
• Stain removal: Spot-treat promptly and gently; avoid aggressive scrubbing which can damage delicate fibers.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently press out excess water (do not wring) and dry flat or hang in the shade to avoid sun fade.
• Ironing/steaming: Use a low-heat iron on the reverse or a steamer to remove wrinkles and preserve drape. Avoid high heat if the fabric contains elastane.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to protect the shoulders. If folding, avoid sharp creases and store in a cool, dry place.
• General tips: Air between wears to reduce washing frequency, use a laundry bag for machine washes to protect sleeves, and rotate garments to prolong life.

Style tips

• Casual day: Pair with flat sandals or espadrilles, a woven tote and minimal jewelry for effortless summer style.
• Brunch / smart casual: Add a thin leather or woven belt to define the waist, tuck in a delicate scarf and wear block-heel sandals.
• Evening: Dress up with strappy heels, a small structured clutch and statement earrings; pair with a silk camisole under the V-neck if you want extra coverage.
• Layering: For cooler days, try a cropped blazer or fitted leather jacket to balance sleeve volume; a longline cardigan keeps the maxi feel cozy.
• Accessories: The deep V-neck works well with layered necklaces or a single pendant. A belt in contrasting texture (leather, braided) will break up the plain fabric and emphasize the waist.
• Body-type suggestions: Petite: consider hemming or wearing with heels; Tall: flats keep the casual look; Curvy: a defined belt at the natural waist highlights shape while the sleeve volume remains balanced.
