Printed Tie Neck Long Sleeve Maxi Dress

How to measure — body & garment

Use a soft measuring tape. Stand naturally, breathe normally and keep the tape parallel to the floor. For best results have someone help you.

Measure your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust across the nipples, keeping the tape snug but not tight. Record the measurement at the tape's full circumference.
• Underbust / High bust: Measure directly under your bust for underbust, and above the bust (around the upper chest) for high bust if needed for fit adjustments.
• Waist: Measure around the natural waist (narrowest part of your torso), usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape relaxed.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat—usually 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below the waist—keeping the tape level.
• Shoulder width: Measure from the tip of one shoulder across the back to the tip of the other shoulder (measured at the shoulder seam line).
• Sleeve length: With your arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder seam (or tip of shoulder) down to the wrist bone.
• Dress length (HPOS to hem): Measure from the High Point of Shoulder (HPOS — where the shoulder meets the base of the neck) straight down to the desired hemline (ankle/foot length for a maxi).
• Arm circumference: Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm if you need extra sleeve room.

Measure the garment (flat measurements)

• Bust (flat): Lay the dress flat and measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other; multiply by 2 for full circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the dress body and multiply by 2.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt and multiply by 2.
• Shoulder: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff along the top of the sleeve.
• Total length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder down the center front to the hem.

Compare your body measurements to the garment flat measurements. If a fit is listed as "fitted" allow less ease; for "relaxed" or "flowy" styles allow extra inches for movement. If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for a maxi dress unless you desire a very fitted bodice.

Materials & fabric information

Printed tie-neck maxi dresses are commonly made from lightweight, drapey woven or soft knit fabrics. Typical materials and their characteristics:

• 100% polyester (chiffon or georgette): Lightweight, excellent drape, printed colors stay vivid, generally non-stretch. Usually lined. Care: gentle wash or hand wash; low-heat steam or iron on reverse.
• Viscose / rayon: Soft with great drape and a fluid silhouette. Can wrinkle and may shrink if washed hot. Care: hand wash cold or dry clean; reshape and dry flat or hang to dry.
• Polyester blend with elastane (knit): Has subtle stretch for comfort, less prone to wrinkling, often machine-washable on gentle cycle.
• Cotton blends: Breathable with a more structured drape; prints may be subtler. Care: machine wash cold; may require ironing.
• Trim & lining: Tie, lining or facings are often the same fabric or a lightweight polyester lining (smooth hand, opaque). Buttons, zippers or elastic cuffs are common trims.

Exact composition varies by production. Check the garment label for the precise fabric percentages and follow label instructions when available.

Model & fit details (reference)

• Reference model: Height 5'9" (175 cm); bust 32" (81 cm); waist 24" (61 cm); hips 35" (89 cm).
• Wearing size: Model is shown wearing a size S (US 4 / UK 8).
• Fit notes: This dress typically has an adjustable tie-neck and a defined bodice with a flowing maxi skirt. Expect fitted or semi-fitted bodice with a relaxed, full skirt. Sleeve fullness and cuff detail can affect armroom—consider sizing up if you have broader shoulders or larger upper arms.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Read the label: Always follow the garment care label first. The information below is general guidance for common fabrics used in printed maxi dresses.
• Washing: For most polyester and polyester-lined dresses: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle inside a mesh bag, or hand wash. For viscose/rayon or delicate printed fabrics: hand wash cold or opt for professional dry cleaning.
• Detergent & bleach: Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or strong optical brighteners as they can fade prints.
• Drying: Gently squeeze excess water (do not wring) and hang to dry in shade to prevent sun-fade. For viscose/rayon, reshape and dry flat if the fabric can stretch when wet.
• Ironing & steaming: Steam to remove wrinkles. If ironing is needed, use a low-heat setting and iron on the reverse side or with a press cloth. Avoid high heat, especially on synthetic prints.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to preserve shoulder shape. For long storage, keep in a breathable garment bag and avoid plastic covers that trap moisture.
• Stain removal: Treat spots promptly with a gentle stain remover appropriate for the fabric. Test on an inside seam first.
• Hardware & trims: Unfasten ties and buttons before washing, and turn the dress inside out to protect prints and trims.

Style tips

• Tie-neck styling: Try a loose bow for a feminine daytime look, a small neat bow for work, or knot the ends for a relaxed vibe. Leaving the tie untied makes the neckline look more open and modern.
• Define the waist: Add a slim leather belt for a polished silhouette, or a wide fabric belt to accentuate the waist and add shape.
• Shoes: For casual wear choose flat sandals or espadrilles; elevate the look with block heels or strappy sandals; ankle boots and a cropped jacket work well for transitional seasons.
• Jewelry: Keep jewelry simple near the tie neck—studs or short drop earrings and a slim bracelet. If you wear the tie open, a delicate pendant complements the neckline.
• Layering: Pair with a denim jacket or a short blazer for daytime; a longline coat or trench creates an elegant evening silhouette. In cooler months, wear thin tights and ankle boots.
• Occasion: Printed maxi dresses are versatile—dress them up with heels and statement earrings for events, or keep them casual with flats and a tote for daytime errands.
