Openwork Sleeveless Maxi Dress

How to measure this dress

Measure the garment laid flat on a table. Use a soft tape measure, keep the fabric relaxed (no stretching), and record measurements in cm or inches. For any "flat" measurement, double the number to get the full circumference unless otherwise noted.

1. Lay the dress flat, front or back smoothed out with seams aligned.
2. Measure across; keep the tape parallel to the floor and follow seams where applicable.
3. Write down flat measurements and note the units (cm or in). Include a tolerance (±1 cm / ±0.5 in) for handmade/openwork pieces.

Bust (Chest)

Measure straight across the widest part of the bodice (usually just below the armholes). Double the flat measurement to get the full bust circumference.

Waist

Measure across the narrowest part of the garment’s waistline. Double the flat measurement for full waist circumference.

Hips / Lower skirt width

Measure across the skirt at the fullest part (typically ~18–25 cm / 7–10 in below the waist depending on design). Double the flat measurement for hip circumference.

Center-back length

Measure from the center back base of the neck (neck seam) straight down to the hem. This gives the full dress length.

Shoulder width

Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back (useful even on sleeveless styles).

Armhole / Arm opening

Measure from the top of the shoulder seam down to the underarm seam (depth), or measure across the armhole opening and double for circumference.

Hem width

Measure straight across the bottom edge of the dress and double the flat width for the hem circumference.

Example (illustrative only): Bust (flat) 44 cm → Bust circumference 88 cm. Center-back length 136 cm.

Materials & construction (how to identify and what to expect)

Openwork maxi dresses are commonly made using one of the following fabrics or blends. Check the garment label or product page for the exact composition.

• 100% Cotton (openwork/crochet) — breathable, matte finish, soft; may shrink slightly on first wash. Care: gentle wash, reshape and dry flat.
• Viscose / Rayon (openwork or lace) — silky drape and soft hand; can be delicate when wet and prone to shrinking. Care: hand wash or delicate cycle, dry flat.
• Polyester / Nylon blends — durable, less shrinkage, often used for linings; machine-washable on gentle cycles.
• Linen or linen blends — lightweight and breathable with a textured look; wrinkles naturally. Care: cool wash, reshape, dry flat or hang to dry.
• Acrylic / Synthetic knits — holds shape and color well; may pill over time. Care: gentle wash, avoid high heat.
• Slip / Lining — many openwork dresses include a separate slip (commonly polyester or viscose). Follow lining care instructions if separate from outer shell.

How to confirm material: check the inside care tag or product materials section on the product page. If unsure, contact customer support for fiber content and lining details.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Washing: Hand wash in cool water or use the machine's delicate cycle in a mesh bag. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently press excess water with a towel and lay flat to dry, reshaping to original dimensions—this prevents stretching of the openwork.
• Ironing / Steaming: Steam to remove wrinkles. If ironing is needed, use low heat and iron inside out with a pressing cloth to protect openwork.
• Storage: Store folded rather than hung (hanging can stretch openwork over time). If you must hang, use a wide padded hanger and avoid long-term hanging for heavy knits.
• Snags & Pulls: Gently coax snags to the inside using a crochet hook or needle. Do not cut pulls—work them back toward the seam and secure if necessary.
• Pilling: Remove pills carefully with a fabric shaver on low power or a pill comb; avoid aggressive abrasion.
• Spot cleaning: For small stains, gently blot with a mild detergent solution, rinse and dry flat.
• Professional care: For delicate or high-value openwork pieces, consider professional cleaning if the label recommends dry clean only.

Style tips

• Layer a slip: Because of the openwork, a slip or slim dress underneath will provide coverage—try contrasting colors for visual impact (nude, black, or a bold color).
• Belt it: Add a thin or statement belt to define the waist and change the silhouette from boho to polished.
• Shoes: Flat sandals or espadrilles for daytime; wedges or block heels for evening; ankle boots add edge in cooler weather.
• Jackets: For a casual look pair with a denim jacket; for an evening look try a cropped blazer or a leather moto jacket.
• Accessories: Long pendant necklaces, oversized hoops, or stacked bangles complement the maxi length and openwork texture.
• Seasonal styling: Wear with a lightweight turtleneck or fitted top and boots in cooler months, or bare arms and sun hat for summer.
• Contrast slip: For an on-trend look, wear a slip in a contrasting hue (e.g., black under white openwork) to highlight pattern.
• Occasion choices: Beach cover-up, relaxed day look, or dress it up for evening with statement jewelry and heeled sandals.
• Fit notes: If you prefer a more fitted look at the waist, size down or add a belt; for a relaxed, bohemian shape, choose your usual size or size up.
