Floral V-Neck Balloon Sleeve Dress — Product Information

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Measure over underwear or a thin layer you plan to wear with the dress. Write down measurements in both centimetres (cm) and inches (in) if possible.

Measuring your body (to choose the right size)

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (natural waist), where you normally wear your dress/waistband.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks with feet together.
• Shoulder width: Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the other across the back.
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam (or the point where you want the sleeve to start) down to the wrist or desired sleeve hem.
• Dress length: From centre back at the base of the neck straight down to the desired hem point.

Measuring a garment (for accurate comparisons)

• Lay the dress flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching fabric.
• Bust (flat): Measure 1 inch (2–3 cm) below the armholes from one side seam to the other, then multiply by 2 for full circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the dress, then multiply by 2.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt, then multiply by 2.
• Sleeve width: Measure at the widest part of the balloon sleeve when laid flat for an idea of sleeve fullness.
• Full length: Measure from centre back neck to hem.

Fit guidance: This style is typically relaxed and slightly flowy. Allow 5–12 cm (2–5 in) of ease at bust/waist/hips for a comfortable fit. If you’re between sizes and prefer a looser silhouette, choose the larger size; for a neater fit, size down.

Materials

Material composition can vary by production batch and print. Common constructions for a floral V-neck balloon sleeve dress:

Most common (ready-to-wear):

Main fabric: 100% polyester (lightweight woven, chiffon-like or crepe); Lining (if present): 100% polyester.

Other possible options:

- Viscose/Rayon blend: soft and breathable, excellent drape but needs gentler care.
- Cotton or cotton blends: breathable and natural-feeling, slightly less drape and may wrinkle.
- Linen blends: airy and textured; best for warm weather but wrinkles more easily.

Fabric characteristics:

Polyester: vibrant prints, wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying. Viscose: soft, fluid drape, may shrink if washed hot. Cotton/linen: breathable, natural feel, more prone to creasing.

Note: Always check the product label or packaging for the exact fibre content of the specific item you receive.

Model information

To help you visualise fit, a common model profile used for this style is shown below. Use this as a guide when comparing to your own measurements or a similar garment.

• Model height: 175 cm / 5'9"
• Model measurements: Bust 81 cm (32"), Waist 61 cm (24"), Hips 89 cm (35")
• Wearing size: Small (S)
• Fit note: The model is wearing the dress with a relaxed, slightly loose silhouette. If you prefer a more fitted look at the waist, consider sizing down or adding a belt.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label first. If the label is unavailable, use these general guidelines based on common materials.

• Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle or hand wash in cold water. Use a mild detergent. Turn the dress inside out to protect the print.
• Delicates: Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection of lightweight fabrics and balloon sleeves.
• Dry: Reshape and lay flat to dry or hang to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Tumble dry is not recommended for delicate fabrics—if using a dryer, choose a low heat, short cycle.
• Iron/steam: Steam to remove wrinkles. If ironing is needed, use a low to medium setting and iron inside out or with a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat on synthetic fibres.
• Stains: Treat stains promptly—blot (do not rub) and spot-clean with a gentle stain remover suitable for the fabric type. For persistent stains or delicate trims, consider professional cleaning.
• Storage: Hang on a padded or shaped hanger to preserve the shoulder and sleeve shape, or fold with tissue paper to prevent creases. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Special fabrics: Viscose and rayon may benefit from hand washing and flat drying to avoid distortion. Linen can be steamed or ironed while slightly damp.

Style Tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a straw tote for a relaxed, effortless look.
• Office-friendly: Add a structured blazer and low block heels. Choose a narrow belt at the waist to create a polished silhouette.
• Evening / date night: Dress up with pointed-toe heels, a clutch, and statement earrings. A slim belt or fitted blazer will sharpen the shape.
• Layering: In cooler weather, style with a cropped leather jacket for edge or a longline cardigan for softness. A denim jacket keeps it casual.
• Accessories: Because of the V-neck, layered delicate necklaces or a single pendant work beautifully. Opt for smaller earrings if the neckline is embellished.
• Undergarments: A plunge bra, strapless bra, or seamless camisole works best with a deep V-neck. A slip may be helpful under lighter or semi-sheer fabrics.
• Balance the balloon sleeves: Keep the bottom half either more fitted (belted waist or pencil skirt silhouette) or soft and flowy—avoid adding excessive volume on both top and bottom unless you want a very boho, oversized look.
• Color pairing: Pick one accent color from the print for shoes or bag to create a cohesive outfit—neutral tones like nude, tan, white, or black also work well.

If you would like, use your body measurements to compare against the garment measurements (measured flat × 2) to confirm the best size for the fit you want.
