Printed Tie Waist One Shoulder Maxi Dress | Light Green / S 100100827812839

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure on bare skin or a close-fitting top. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed — do not hold your breath. Below are step‑by‑step instructions for measuring your body and for measuring a garment laid flat.

Measuring your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, across the shoulder blades, keeping the tape level.
• Waist: Measure at your natural waist — the narrowest point between ribs and hips. Relax and breathe normally.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips — usually about 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below the waist. Keep feet together.
• Dress length (centre back): Measure from the base of the neck (center back) down to where you want the hem to fall. For a maxi, this is usually to the ankle or floor depending on preference.
• One‑shoulder drop (optional): For one‑shoulder styles, measure from the top of the shoulder strap (or top edge of the bodice on the strapped side) down to the hem to understand how the dress will hang.

Measuring the garment (flat‑lay)

• Bust width: Lay the dress flat and measure straight across from side seam to side seam at the underarm level. Double this number for the full bust circumference.
• Waist width: Measure across the narrowest point of the bodice; double for full circumference.
• Hip width: Measure across the fullest part of the skirt and double.
• Length: Measure from the center back at the base of the neck to the hem. For one‑shoulder style you can also measure from the top of the shoulder strap to the hem to check how it will sit.
• Belt/tie: Measure the full length of the tie from end to end if included.

Conversion: 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Allow 0.5–2 cm (0.2–0.8 in) tolerance for manufacturing. If you fall between sizes, consider how you like a dress to fit (fitted vs relaxed) and size accordingly.

Materials & fabric details

If composition is listed on the product page or garment tag, use that for exact care and feel. For printed one‑shoulder maxi dresses, common materials and their typical characteristics are:

• Polyester (crepe/chiffon): Lightweight, drapey, wrinkle‑resistant and colorfast — often used for printed maxis. Typically low‑stretch and simple to care for.
• Viscose / Rayon: Very soft with excellent drape and breathability; may require gentler washing (hand wash or delicate cycle) and can shrink if treated roughly.
• Cotton blends: Breathable with a natural feel; can be slightly stiffer depending on weave and may wrinkle more than synthetics.
• Silk or silk blends: Luxurious sheen and fluid drape; usually recommended for dry clean or very gentle hand wash.

Common construction details for this style: removable or attached self‑tie waist, single shoulder strap (asymmetric neckline), and often a hidden side or back zip. Lining may be used at the bodice or throughout the skirt depending on fabric opacity — check the product details to confirm.

Model information

Example model sizing used for photography (use this to visualize fit):

• Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S)
• Model measurements: Bust 32" (81 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)

Fit note: The tie waist lets you adjust the silhouette — tighten for a defined waist or leave looser for a more relaxed, boho look. Hem length will vary with height and footwear.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment tag when available. Below are general care recommendations tailored to common fabrics for printed maxi dresses.

Everyday care

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the print.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle with like colors, or hand wash if fabric is delicate (viscose, silk).
• Use a mild liquid detergent; avoid bleach and optical brighteners which can fade prints.
• Do not overload the machine; use a mesh bag for extra protection if desired.
• Line dry in shade or lay flat to dry to preserve color and shape. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight which can fade prints.

Ironing & steaming

• Steam to remove wrinkles for best results. If ironing, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side or place a cloth between iron and fabric.
• Avoid direct high heat on prints and trims.

Stain care & storage

• Treat spills immediately: blot (don’t rub) with a clean cloth, then spot‑clean according to fabric type.
• Store on a shaped hanger to keep the shoulder silhouette, or fold carefully if space is limited. Keep away from rough surfaces and sharp jewelry to prevent snags.
• For delicate or silk garments, professional dry cleaning is recommended for best long‑term care.

Tip: Remove the tie belt before washing and wash separately if it’s detachable to prevent twisting or uneven drying.

Style tips

• Daytime casual: Pair with flat sandals or white sneakers, a straw bag and a denim jacket for relaxed outings.
• Evening & occasion: Elevate the look with strappy heels, a clutch and statement earrings. A metallic belt can add definition and glam.
• Accessories: One‑shoulder designs highlight the neckline — opt for a single statement earring or delicate layered necklaces on the exposed side. Keep the other side minimal to showcase the asymmetric line.
• Layering: For cooler weather, add a cropped blazer or fitted leather jacket. A lightweight shawl works for outdoor events.
• Shoes: Wedges or block heels work well with maxi lengths to prevent dragging; flats and sandals give a boho vibe. Choose heel height to suit your hem length and comfort.
• How to wear the tie: Cinch the tie at the natural waist for an hourglass silhouette, or slide it lower for an empire/relaxed fit. You can also swap the fabric tie for a contrasting leather belt for a modern twist.
• Print coordination: If the print is bold, keep accessories neutral; pull one color from the print for accessories to create a cohesive look.
