Printed Button Down Short Sleeve Maxi Dress | Sky Blue / XS 100100448931152

How to measure

For accurate sizing, measure the garment laid flat or measure your body with a soft tape. Here’s how to capture the key measurements for this button‑down maxi:

1. Prepare: Lay the dress on a flat, hard surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Bust / Chest (garment): Measure across the front from one underarm seam to the other. Multiply that number by 2 for the full circumference.
3. Waist (garment): Measure across the narrowest part of the dress front (if defined). Multiply by 2.
4. Hip (garment): Measure across the skirt at the fullest point (typically ~8–10" / 20–25 cm below the waist). Multiply by 2.
5. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
6. Sleeve length: From shoulder seam down to the sleeve hem (short sleeve).
7. Sleeve opening: Measure across the sleeve hem and multiply by 2.
8. Hem / Skirt opening: Measure across the bottom hem and multiply by 2 for the full width.
9. Total length: From the highest point of the shoulder (HPS at neckline) straight down to the hem.

If measuring your body: measure the bust at its fullest point, the natural waist at the narrowest point, and the hips at the fullest point. Breathe normally and don’t pull the tape too tight. Always compare body measurements with garment measurements and allow 1–3" (2.5–7.5 cm) of wearing ease depending on how fitted or relaxed you want the dress to feel.

Materials & fabric

This printed button‑down maxi is made from a lightweight woven fabric designed to drape softly and move with you. Common fabric compositions for this style include viscose (rayon), polyester, or cotton blends. Exact composition and trim details are listed on the garment label—check the product tag for the definitive breakdown.

• Viscose / Rayon: soft with excellent drape, breathable; may need gentle washing and careful drying to avoid shrinkage.
• Polyester: durable, colorfast and wrinkle‑resistant; typically easier to care for (machine wash on gentle).
• Cotton / Cotton blends: natural feel and breathability; may soften or slightly shrink after washing.
• Trims: Buttons are generally plastic or shell; seams may be serged or double‑stitched. The dress is often unlined—if lined, lining is usually lightweight polyester or rayon.

Tip: If the fabric feels very lightweight and silky, it’s likely viscose or a viscose blend; if it feels smoother and more synthetic, it’s likely polyester. Follow the care label for precise guidance.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always check the care label first. Manufacturer instructions override general guidance.
• Washing: Turn the dress inside out and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Use a mesh bag for extra protection.
• Drying: Reshape and hang to dry or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve colors and print. Avoid high heat dryers—heat can shrink or damage delicate fibers.
• Ironing & steaming: Iron inside‑out on low to medium heat or use a steamer to remove wrinkles without flattening the drape. Use a pressing cloth for delicate prints.
• Stain care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle spot cleaner; test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to keep shoulder shape, or fold gently if space is limited. Store away from prolonged direct light to prevent fading.
• Delicate trims: If the dress has delicate buttons or trims, close buttons before washing and consider professional cleaning when in doubt.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a woven straw bag for an easy, day‑time look.
• Define your waist: Add a slim leather or woven belt—wear higher at the natural waist for a classic silhouette or lower for a relaxed boho vibe.
• Office ready: Layer a fitted blazer and choose block‑heel sandals or loafers; tuck the front slightly for a tailored touch.
• Evening out: Swap to strappy heels, add statement earrings and a clutch; a cropped jacket completes the look.
• Transitional weather: Throw on a denim jacket, utility jacket, or a longline cardigan for layering—ankle boots work well as temperatures drop.
• Vacation tip: Wear the dress unbuttoned as a cover‑up over swimwear or buttoned with espadrilles for strolls and sunsets.
• Accessorize: Long pendants and layered necklaces complement the vertical lines of a button‑front dress; mix metals or stick to one tone for cohesion.
• Alterations: For petites, a narrow hem or small shoulder adjustment keeps the maxi proportionate; taller customers can wear the full length for drama.
