Printed Tie Front Ruffle Hem Dress | Misty Blue / S 100101883443509

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight. For best results measure while wearing a thin layer or the undergarments you plan to wear with the dress.

Body measurements (to choose your size)

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, across the shoulder blades.
• Waist: Measure around the natural waist (narrowest part), usually just above the belly button.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips/seat (about 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist).
• Shoulder width: Measure from one shoulder tip to the other across the back.
• Dress length: Measure from the high point of shoulder (where shoulder meets neck) straight down to the hem.

Garment measurements (measure a similar dress lying flat)

• Pit-to-pit (bust): Lay the dress flat and measure straight across from underarm seam to underarm seam; double that number to get the chest circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the dress and double to get the waist circumference.
• Hip (flat): Measure across at the fullest part of the skirt (approx. 6–8" / 15–20 cm below the waist) and double for circumference.
• Front length: From the highest point of the shoulder at the neckline to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the hem and double to find total hem circumference.
• Tip: For tie-front styles, measure with the tie positioned how you intend to wear it (tied or untied) so the fit reflects real wear.

Conversion note: Flat measurement × 2 = full circumference. Allow for manufacturing tolerances of about ±1" (±2.5 cm).

Materials

Exact fabric content varies by production batch—always check the sewn-in care/composition label for the definitive information. Common materials used for a printed tie-front ruffle-hem dress and their characteristics:

• Viscose / Rayon: Lightweight, soft and beautifully drapey. Breathable feel, can wrinkle more easily—usually best on a gentle wash or hand wash.
• Polyester / Polyester blends: Durable, colorfast and wrinkle-resistant. Often used for printed dresses; generally easy-care and machine washable on gentle cycles.
• Cotton / Cotton blends: Natural and breathable with a slightly crisp hand. May shrink if washed in hot water—wash cold to preserve shape.
• Elastane / Spandex (small %): Adds light stretch for comfort and better recovery.
• Lining: If present, linings are commonly polyester to provide opacity and smooth slip-over coverage.

How to confirm: Check the label inside the side seam or neck seam for the exact fiber breakdown and care symbols before laundering.

Model & fit

Example model information to help visualize fit (use as a 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)
• Fit notes: Tie-front detail lets you adjust the waist/bust area for a more defined or relaxed silhouette. Ruffle hem adds movement and coverage at the skirt edge. Generally true to size—if between sizes and you prefer a roomier skirt or bust area, consider sizing up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read the garment label: Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions first.
• Pre-treat stains: Spot-treat promptly using a mild detergent; test on an inside seam first for colorfastness.
• Turn inside out: Wash printed garments inside out to protect colors and the print surface.
• Washing: Hand wash in cold water or use the gentle machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Use a mesh bag for extra protection.
• Drying: Reshape and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading; avoid high-heat tumble drying unless the care label allows it.
• Ironing/steaming: Steam or iron on the reverse with low heat. For polyester/prints use a low temperature and avoid pressing directly on printed areas.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to keep shoulder shape, or fold gently for delicate fabrics. Store in a breathable cover for long-term storage.
• Minor repairs: Mend loose threads or seams promptly to prevent bigger damage; retie or replace decorative ties carefully to avoid stressing seams.

Style tips

• Casual days: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket for an easy weekend look.
• Vacation / resort: Add flat slides, a wide-brim hat and an oversize straw bag for breezy, sun-ready style.
• Date night: Cinch the tie neatly, wear strappy heels and layered jewelry for a feminine evening outfit.
• Office-ready: Layer a tailored blazer over the dress and add closed-toe pumps; keep accessories streamlined.
• Cooler weather: Wear a thin turtleneck underneath or add a cropped cardigan and ankle boots with tights.
• Alternate the tie: Swap the fabric tie for a slim leather or woven belt to create a cleaner, more structured waistline.
• Accessories: When the print is bold, choose one statement accessory (earrings or a necklace) and keep the rest minimal.
• Color coordination: Pull one accent color from the print for your bag or shoes to create a cohesive outfit without overpowering the pattern.
