Printed Tie Waist Short Sleeve Midi Shirt Dress

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure over light clothing. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed (not pulled tight).

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, across the shoulder blades.
2. Waist: Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest part). For this tie‑waist style, also measure where you normally like the tie to sit if it's higher or lower than your natural waist.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips—usually about 7–9" (18–23 cm) below the waist.
4. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
5. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam down to the sleeve hem.
6. Dress length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the collar) straight down to the hem to determine midi length.
7. Fit tip: For tie‑waist dresses, the tie provides adjustability. If you prefer a looser, relaxed fit, choose your usual size or size up; if you prefer a more tailored silhouette, size down and rely on the tie to cinch the waist.

Materials

Exact composition will be listed on the garment label. Common fabrics for this style include:

• Polyester: Lightweight, durable and wrinkle resistant; holds prints and color well and is generally easy‑care.
• Viscose / Rayon: Soft with a fluid drape and breathable feel; may require gentle washing or professional cleaning depending on the blend.
• Cotton / Linen blends: Breathable and cool for warm weather; these may crease more but are comfortable and natural‑feeling.
• Lining & trims: Some dresses include a lightweight lining (often polyester) and synthetic buttons or thread finishes.

Tip: Check the sewn label (side seam or back neck) for the exact fiber percentages and care symbols before washing.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment care label first—fiber content determines the best method.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect prints and buttons.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers that can damage prints and fibers.
• Air dry by hanging or laying flat; avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking and loss of shape.
• Iron on low heat or use a steamer; for delicate fibers (viscose/rayon) iron inside out or with a pressing cloth.
• For persistent stains or delicate blends, professional dry cleaning may be recommended.
• Store on a wide hanger to preserve shoulder shape and keep out of direct sunlight to minimize fading.

Style tips

• Daytime casual: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a straw bag for an effortless summer look.
• Office ready: Layer with a tailored blazer, add loafers or low block heels and a structured tote.
• Evening out: Swap to strappy heels, add bold earrings and tighten the tie for a defined waist.
• Layering: Add a denim jacket or lightweight cardigan for cool evenings; in colder months wear tights and ankle boots.
• Accessories: Use the tie to create different silhouettes (bow at front, knot at back, or removed). Add a slim leather belt for contrast or a wide belt for a fashion statement.
• Color coordination: Let the print lead—choose shoes or a bag in a neutral shade or pick one color from the print to highlight with your accessories.
