Floral Print Ruffled Side Slit Tube Top Maxi Dress — Product Info, Measuring & Care

How to measure — body & garment (quick guide)

Take two sets of measurements before ordering: your body measurements and the garment measurements. For garment measurements, always lay the dress flat on a smooth surface, smooth out wrinkles and measure left-to-right, then double the flat measurement when the description asks for circumference.

How to measure your body (for best fit)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape level across your back. Breathe normally — don’t pull the tape tight.
2. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (natural waist) where your body bends side to side.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips (usually about 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist). Stand with feet together.
4. Torso / Dress length: For a strapless maxi, measure from the top edge of where the dress will sit (top of the bodice) down to the floor/desired hem while standing or measure a favourite maxi dress from top edge to hem.
5. Band / Tube circumference: For strapless styles, measure around the area the bandeau will sit (full bust for support). The band should be snug enough to stay up.

How to measure the garment (flat)

Sizing & fit notes

• Recommended ease for fitted look: 0–2" (0–5 cm) extra over your body bust. For comfortable/semi-fitted: +2–4" (5–10 cm). For flowy/oversized: +4" (10 cm+)—choose accordingly.
• For strapless styles, a snug band provides better support; if between sizes choose the smaller for a more secure fit or the larger if you want a relaxed top.
• If the bodice is smocked or elastic-backed, it will offer stretch; check both unstretched and stretched garment measurements when available.

Materials

Many floral, ruffled maxi dresses use lightweight woven fabrics for a floaty drape and a comfortable strapless bodice with elastic or smocking. If you don’t have the label on hand, below are common materials used for this style and what to expect from each:

• Polyester (often chiffon or georgette): Lightweight, durable, holds prints well, resists wrinkles; usually easy care (hand wash or delicate cycle), dries quickly. May be slightly sheer — often lined at the skirt or bodice.
• Rayon / Viscose: Soft, breathable with a natural drape; can feel silk-like. May wrinkle more and can shrink if washed in hot water—gentle washing recommended.
• Cotton blends: Natural feel and breathability; may be heavier and less flowy than synthetic blends.
• Elastane / Spandex (in the bodice): Added in small amounts (2–8%) to increase stretch and recovery for a comfortable strapless fit (common in smocked backs or elasticized bands).
• Lining: Many maxi dresses include a polyester or rayon lining in the skirt for opacity and comfort. Check label for lining composition.

Note: Exact fabric composition varies by product. Refer to the garment care label for the definitive material breakdown.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

• Always check the garment label first — follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions.
• Wash: Hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent.
• Protect delicate details: Turn garment inside out and use a mesh laundry bag for machine washes. Fasten any closures to avoid snags.
• Do not bleach. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can affect prints and elastic.
• Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry in shade. Avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinkage and damage to elastic or ruffles.
• Ironing / steaming: Use a low-heat iron if needed and iron inside out on woven fabrics. A hand steamer is ideal to relax ruffles and remove wrinkles without flattening texture.
• Ruffles & slit: Reshape ruffles while damp and steam from the underside for best results. Avoid ironing directly across decorative edges.
• Storage: Hang on a padded or wide hanger to preserve the bandeau shape, or fold carefully if short on hanging space. Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Stain care: Spot treat gently with mild detergent and cold water. For delicate fabrics (silk or viscose blends), consider professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Everyday / daytime: Pair with flat sandals or espadrilles, a straw tote and a wide-brim hat for effortless warm-weather looks.
• Beach holiday: Wear over a swimsuit as an easy cover-up; add slide sandals and oversized sunglasses.
• Date night / evening: Dress it up with strappy heels or block-heeled sandals, statement earrings and a small clutch. Cinch the waist with a slim belt for a more defined silhouette.
• Boho vibe: Layer with layered necklaces, stacked bracelets and a suede or braided belt; consider ankle boots for a transitional-season look.
• Cooler weather: Throw on a cropped denim jacket or lightweight leather jacket. Add ankle boots and a scarf for added warmth while keeping the feminine shape.
• Accessories: For warm floral prints, gold-tone jewelry and tan accessories complement well; for cool-toned florals, choose silver or gunmetal accents. Neutral shoes (nude, white, tan) keep attention on the print.
• Support tips: For extra support with strapless dresses use an adhesive bra, strapless bra or sticky cups. A wide belt can help keep the bodice in place and define the waist.
