Lace Bell Sleeve Square Neck Bodycon Dress | Black / S 100100851063055

How to measure

There are two helpful sets of measurements: your body measurements and the garment (laid‑flat) measurements. Use the guides below to choose the best size for this Lace Bell Sleeve Square Neck Bodycon Dress.

Measure your body

1. Wear light underwear or the undergarments you plan to wear with the dress.
2. Bust — measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape level under the arms and across the back. Keep the tape comfortably snug, not tight.
3. Waist — measure at the narrowest point of your torso (natural waist). Breathe normally and don't suck in.
4. Hips — measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level.
5. Shoulder width — measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other (use a well‑fitting top as a reference if needed).
6. Arm / bicep circumference — measure around the fullest part of your upper arm if you are concerned about sleeve fit.
7. Height & torso length — useful if you are between sizes or unusually tall/short: measure from the top of your shoulder near the neck down to where you’d like the hem to fall.

Tip: For bodycon styles, measure snugly — these dresses are designed to be close‑fitting. If you prefer a little extra room, choose the next size up.

Measure the garment (laid flat)

Garment measurements are often provided on product pages. To measure a dress laid flat:

1. Lay the dress on a flat surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Bust (laid flat) — measure from armpit seam to armpit seam and multiply by 2 to get the circumference.
3. Waist (laid flat) — measure across the narrowest part of the dress and multiply by 2.
4. Hips (laid flat) — measure across the fullest part of the skirt and multiply by 2.
5. Length — measure from the highest point of the shoulder (closest to the neck seam) down the center front to the hem.
6. Sleeve length — measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the bell sleeve.
7. Shoulder width — measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.

Note: For stretch fabrics, finished garment measurements include minimal ease — the fabric will give. For non‑stretch lace panels, use the garment or arm circumference to ensure comfort in the sleeves.

Materials (typical for this style)

• Main body: polyester + elastane/spandex blend (common example: ~92–95% polyester, 5–8% elastane) — smooth, figure‑hugging and has recovery for a bodycon fit.
• Lace: nylon or polyester lace often blended with a small % of elastane — decorative, slightly sheer, delicate texture on the bell sleeves.
• Lining: lightweight polyester lining in the bodice and skirt area (may be full or partial) to prevent transparency and add comfort against the skin.

Properties: medium to high stretch in the body (due to elastane), delicate/less stretch in lace sleeves, colorfastness varies by dye. Always check the garment label for exact fabric percentages and any special finishes.

Model information

Example model details (for sizing reference):

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Model is wearing size: Small (S)

Use these as a guide — if your measurements fall between sizes or you prefer a slightly less fitted silhouette, consider sizing up. If you like a very snug bodycon fit, order your usual size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first — follow any manufacturer instructions if they differ from the guidance below.
• Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent is the safest option for lace and stretch fabrics. Gently agitate, then rinse thoroughly.
• If machine washing, turn the dress inside out, place it in a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle/delicate cycle with cold water.
• Wash with like colors; for dark or bright colors wash separately the first time to avoid dye transfer.
• Do not bleach. Avoid fabric softeners on elastic fabrics (they reduce stretch over time).
• Do not wring. Gently press excess water out and reshape while damp.
• Dry flat or hang to dry on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying — heat can damage elastane and lace.
• If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and iron the lining side or use a pressing cloth; never press directly onto lace. A handheld steamer is a gentle alternative.
• Store on a hanger or folded with tissue to avoid shoulder bumps. Keep away from sharp jewelry or rough surfaces to prevent snags.
• For persistent stains or to preserve delicate lace, professional dry cleaning is recommended.

Style tips

• Square neck flatters statement necklaces and layered shorter chains; for a clean neckline, try a single pendant or choker.
• Bell lace sleeves are a focal point — keep bracelets minimal or wear a single cuff to avoid catching the lace.
• Day to night: pair with ankle boots and a cropped leather jacket for daytime; swap to strappy heels and a clutch for evening.
• For formal events, add a tailored blazer or a lightweight shawl and metallic heels to elevate the look.
• To emphasize the waist on this bodycon shape, add a slim waist belt or shapewear for extra smoothing and structure.
• In cooler weather, wear with opaque tights and a long coat; in summer, go bare‑legged with sandals or open‑toe heels.
• Hairstyle: an updo or swept‑back hair shows off the square neckline; loose waves soften the look for romantic occasions.
