Floral Puff Sleeve Mini Dress with Pockets

How to measure this product

For accurate sizing, measure the garment laid flat on a firm surface with a soft tape measure. Do not stretch the fabric—smooth out wrinkles and seams before measuring. Record measurements in both cm and inches (round to the nearest 0.5 cm / 0.25 in).

• Bust (Chest) — Measure straight across the fullest part of the bodice from one underarm seam to the other. Multiply that flat measurement by 2 to get the full circumference.
• Waist — Measure across the narrowest part of the dress (usually where the waist seam or gathering sits). Multiply by 2.
• Hip — With the dress laying flat, measure across the widest part of the skirt (about 20 cm / 8 in below the waist, or where the skirt is fullest). Multiply by 2.
• Front Length — From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the neckline) down the front center to the hem.
• Center Back Length — From the base of the neck (center back) straight down to the hem.
• Shoulder Width — From shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
• Sleeve Length — From shoulder seam to sleeve hem (for puff sleeve measure from shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve, or for elasticated puff measure to the elastic edge).
• Sleeve Opening (Cuff) — Measure across the sleeve hem when laid flat; multiply by 2 for full circumference.
• Hem Width — Measure across the bottom edge of the skirt flat and multiply by 2 for the full hem circumference.
• Armhole / Sleeve Head — Measure around the armhole seam if needed for tailoring comparisons.

Quick tips: use the same units consistently, place the dress on a flat surface, and measure twice for accuracy. When listing or comparing sizes, include the garment measurements rather than body measurements.

Materials & fabric information

The exact fiber content is printed on the product label; below are common fabric types used for a floral puff sleeve mini dress and their characteristics so you know what to expect.

• Viscose / Rayon (common) — Lightweight, soft, fluid drape that showcases prints beautifully. Breathable and comfortable; may wrinkle and can shrink if washed in hot water.
  Care note: gentle hand wash or machine wash cold on a delicate cycle; reshape and dry flat or hang to dry; iron on low heat inside out.
• Cotton or Cotton-Blend — Crisp, natural feel with good structure (cotton poplin or voile). Comfortable and breathable; may soften with washes.
  Care note: machine wash cold or warm depending on label; tumble low if permitted or hang to dry to avoid shrinking; iron as needed.
• Polyester / Polyester-Blend — Easy-care, colorfast, and less prone to wrinkling. Often used with a small amount of elastane for stretch.
  Care note: machine wash cold on gentle cycle; tumble dry low or hang to dry; iron on low heat if needed.
• Lining & trims — Many dresses include a lightweight polyester lining for opacity and structure; trims (buttons, elastic in sleeves, pocket bags) typically match the main fabric or are polyester/cotton blends.

Always check the garment’s care label for the exact composition and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read the label first: follow the manufacturer’s care instructions printed on the tag—those override general advice.
• Pre-wash prep: empty pockets, fasten buttons/snaps, turn the dress inside out to protect prints and trims.
• Washing: hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and strong stain removers unless the label allows them.
• Drying: reshape while damp and hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve color. For viscose, avoid tumble-drying to prevent shrinkage; for polyester blends low tumble dry is usually safe—check label.
• Ironing & steaming: iron inside out on the lowest appropriate setting for the fabric. Use a pressing cloth for delicate prints. A steamer is ideal to remove wrinkles without direct heat.
• Spot care: treat stains promptly with a mild detergent solution; test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Pocket care: remove items before washing to avoid bulging, stains, or damage to seams.
• Storage: hang on a shaped hanger for short-term storage; for long-term, fold with acid-free tissue or keep in a breathable garment bag. Avoid prolonged exposure to bright sunlight.
• Professional care: for embellished or specialty fabrics, consider professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: pair with flat sandals or white sneakers, a straw tote and delicate layered necklaces for a fresh, daytime look.
• Dress it up: add strappy heels or block sandals, statement earrings and a clutch for evening or date-night styling.
• Layering: throw on a denim jacket, cropped cardigan or fitted blazer for cooler weather—try ankle boots or mules for a transitional look.
• Belt it: add a slim or braided belt at the waist to emphasize shape and turn the dress into a different silhouette.
• Accessories: dainty gold or pearl jewelry complements floral prints; a wide-brim hat and sunglasses create a vacation-ready outfit.
• Occasions: perfect for brunches, garden parties, weekend getaways and casual weddings—dress up or down easily.
• Pro tip: because of the puff sleeves, keep upper-body layers streamlined (fitted jacket or cropped lengths) to avoid bulk at the shoulders.
