Floral Bubble Sleeve Sweetheart Neck Ruffle Mini Dress — Details & Care

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure yourself while standing naturally. For garment checks, lay the dress flat on a smooth surface. Record measurements in inches or centimeters and compare them to your body or a favorite dress.

Body measurements (to choose a size)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level across your back. Breathe normally.
2. Waist: Measure around the natural waistline (the narrowest part, above the belly button).
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with feet together.
4. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other across the back.
5. Desired dress length: Measure from the highest point of shoulder at the neckline down to where you want the hem to sit.

Garment measurements (measure the dress flat)

1. Lay flat: Smooth the dress so seams align and there are no folds.
2. Bust (flat): Measure straight across approximately 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam, then multiply by 2.
3. Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the bodice seam-to-seam and multiply by 2.
4. Hip (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt and multiply by 2.
5. Sleeve: For the bubble sleeve measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve hem; measure the sleeve opening flat and multiply by 2 for circumference.
6. Dress length (flat): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (neck seam) down to the hem.

Tip: Compare garment flat measurements to a similar dress you own for the best result. Allow 1–3" (2.5–7.5 cm) of ease depending on how fitted or relaxed you prefer the look.

Materials & what to expect

Typical fabrics and components used for this style:

• Shell (outer fabric): Lightweight woven fabrics such as polyester, rayon blends, or chiffon — these hold floral prints and ruffle shapes well and offer a soft drape.
• Lining: Lightweight polyester lining is commonly used to prevent sheerness and increase comfort.
• Elastic/smocking: Smocked panels or elastic cuffs often contain a small amount of elastane/spandex (roughly 2–5%) to provide stretch and recovery.

Fabric notes: polyester blends are colorfast and wrinkle-resistant; chiffon-like fabrics are airy and delicate (may require lining); smocking provides flexible fit through the bodice or sleeves. For exact fiber content, check the sewn care label inside the dress or the product details on the product page.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment's sewn-in care label first.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect prints and ruffles.
• Hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Air dry by hanging or laying flat; avoid high-heat tumble drying. If you must tumble dry, use the lowest heat setting.
• Remove wrinkles with a garment steamer or iron on low heat on the reverse side using a pressing cloth; avoid pressing directly on smocking or ruffles.
• Store on a padded hanger to maintain shoulder shape and ruffle volume, or fold gently with tissue paper between layers.
• Spot-treat stains promptly and avoid vigorous wringing; for delicate trims or heavy embellishment, consider professional cleaning.

Style Tips

• Daytime casual: wear with white sneakers or flat sandals and a straw or canvas crossbody for an easy, daytime look.
• Date night / evening: pair with strappy heels, a slim clutch and layered necklaces to show off the sweetheart neckline.
• Layering: a cropped denim jacket or lightweight leather jacket adds edge; in cooler weather try sheer tights and ankle boots.
• Belt it: add a narrow belt at the natural waist to define silhouette and create a polished look.
• Accessories: delicate gold or pearl jewelry and a soft updo or half-up hairstyle will let the ruffle and neckline details shine.
