Off Should Short Sleeve Mini Dress

How to measure

Measure either your body or a similar garment to choose the best size. Use a flexible tape measure, stand straight but relaxed, and wear light underwear. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort unless you prefer a very fitted look.

Measure your body

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape level under your arms and across your back. Breathe normally; don’t pull the tape too tight.
2. Underbust: Measure just below the bust around the ribcage — useful for off‑shoulder pieces with elastic bands.
3. Waist: Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest part of your torso, where you bend).
4. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat with your feet together.
5. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder bone to shoulder bone across the back (important for off‑shoulder fit).
6. Dress length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (HPS) straight down to the hem.
7. Sleeve length (short sleeve): Measure from shoulder seam to sleeve hem if applicable.

Tip: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Compare your measurements to the product size chart before ordering.

Measure a garment (flat lay)

1. Bust (flat): Lay the dress flat and measure across the front 1 cm below the armholes from seam to seam; multiply by 2 for full circumference.
2. Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part; multiply by 2.
3. Hem width (flat): Measure across the bottom edge; multiply by 2.
4. Shoulder (flat): Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
5. Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (HPS) to the hem.
6. Sleeve: Measure from shoulder seam to sleeve hem along the top of the sleeve.

Materials

Typical material information and what to expect:

• Main fabric (common): 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane — soft, breathable with light stretch for a body‑skimming fit.
• Alternative (common): 96% Polyester, 4% Elastane (jersey or crepe) — lightweight, wrinkle‑resistant and shape‑holding.
• Lining (if present): 100% Polyester — adds opacity and prevents clinging.
• Trim/elastic: Elasticized off‑shoulder band typically made from polyester/elastane for comfortable hold.

Fabric properties: medium weight, moderate stretch and good drape. Always check the product label for the exact fiber content for your specific item.

Model information

Reference model measurements (sample):

• Height: 176 cm / 5'9"
• Bust: 82 cm / 32"
• Waist: 61 cm / 24"
• Hips: 89 cm / 35"
• Wearing size: S

Use these details to compare how the dress fits the model versus your own measurements. Fit can vary by cut and material.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle or hand wash to protect the fabric and elastic.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing and wash with like colors to reduce abrasion and color transfer.
• Use mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softeners (they can break down elastane and elastic bands).
• Use a mesh laundry bag for delicate items or dresses with trims/elastic bands.
• Avoid high‑heat tumble drying — reshape and lay flat to dry or hang to dry away from direct sunlight.
• Iron inside out on low heat if necessary, or use a steamer. Do not apply high direct heat to elasticized areas.
• Store carefully: fold knits to avoid stretching the neckline or use a padded hanger and avoid hanging from the elastic band long‑term.
• For tough stains or special finishes, follow the garment care label or consult a professional cleaner.

Style Tips

• Underwear: Choose a strapless bra, adhesive cups or an off‑shoulder bra for clean lines. Fashion tape can help keep the neckline in place.
• Casual: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for an easy daytime outfit.
• Dressy: Add strappy heels, a slim belt to define the waist and statement earrings for evening looks.
• Layering: For cooler days wear a cropped leather jacket or a tailored blazer; add tights and ankle boots.
• Accessories: Short necklaces (chokers or small pendants) and drop earrings complement the off‑shoulder neckline best.
• Fit tips: If you want more waist definition add a belt; choose an A‑line skirt version to balance hips or a fitted cut to accentuate curves.
