Leopard Print Tie Front Short Sleeve Mini Dress

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure and measure over the undergarments you plan to wear with the dress. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed—not pulled tight. Two useful methods:

Measuring your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, across the nipples. Keep the tape level and relaxed.
• Waist: Measure around your natural waist (the narrowest point). Breathe normally—don't suck in.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks (usually 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist for many bodies).
• Shoulder width: Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other across the back where a garment would sit.
• Desired length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (where the shoulder meets the neck) down to where you want the hem to fall.

Measuring the dress (flat-lay garment method)

• Chest (bust) width: Lay the dress flat and measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
• Waist width: Measure across the narrowest part of the dress; double for circumference.
• Hip width: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt; double for circumference.
• Length (HPS to hem): Measure from the high point of the shoulder (next to the neckline) straight down to the hem.
• Sleeve length: For the short sleeve, measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve hem.
• Shoulder seam to seam: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.

Conversion tip: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Example: 16 in flat chest × 2 = 32 in (≈81 cm).

Materials

Typical composition for this style:

• Main fabric: commonly a polyester blend with a small amount of elastane (e.g., 95% polyester / 5% elastane) — lightweight, drapey and with a little stretch for comfort.
• Lining: often unlined; where used the lining is usually polyester for a smooth finish.

Fabric characteristics you can expect: vibrant, colorfast leopard print; soft hand and gentle recovery from elastane; easy-care and quick-drying. For the exact fiber content of your specific piece, please check the garment label.

Model

For fit reference:

• Model height: 5'9" / 175 cm
• Model measurements: Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S). The tie-front gives some adjustability; if you are between sizes, choose according to bust/waist preference.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the print.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors; use a mild detergent.
• Use a mesh laundry bag to protect ties and prevent snagging in the machine.
• Do not bleach. Avoid harsh stain removers that can dull the print.
• Reshape and hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Avoid tumble drying—high heat can damage elastic fibers and cause shrinkage.
• If needed, iron on low heat on the reverse side or use a steamer to remove wrinkles safely.
• Spot-treat stains gently with cool water and mild detergent; dab instead of rubbing.
• Store on a supportive hanger or folded with tissue to avoid shoulder stretching; do not hang by the ties.

Extra tips: wash less often to preserve colors, fasten the tie loosely or secure it before laundering to avoid tangling, and keep away from abrasive surfaces (rough denim, jewelry) that can catch the fabric.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: wear with white trainers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for an easy, lived-in look.
• Evening/date night: swap in strappy heels, a sleek clutch and layered gold jewelry; loosen the tie-front for a softer neckline.
• Work-friendly: layer under a tailored blazer, add opaque tights and low block heels to make the mini dress office-appropriate.
• Edgy styling: pair with a leather jacket and ankle boots; use a slim belt instead of the tie to create a structured waist.
• Season transitions: in cooler weather add tights, knee-high boots and a long cardigan; in summer keep it light with sandals and a straw bag.
• Undergarment advice: choose a strapless or plunge bra if you prefer a clean front, or a seamless slip for smoothing under the skirt.
