How to measure

Use these steps to measure your body or an existing garment so you can choose the best size for the Printed V-Neck Ruffled Cap Sleeve Maxi Dress. For body measurements, measure snugly but not tight. For garment measurements, lay the dress flat on a table and measure straight across, then double horizontal measurements to get the circumference.

Body measurements (recommended)

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Natural waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (usually above the belly button).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips (about 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist for most people).
• Torso / dress length (optional): Measure from the top of your shoulder (near the base of the neck) down to where you want the hem to fall to check maxi length.
• Shoulder width (optional): Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam if you have a jacket or dress that fits well.

Garment (flat) measurements — how we measure the dress

• Bust (flat): Lay the dress flat and measure 1" (2–3 cm) below the armhole from side seam to side seam; double that number to get the bust circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest point of the bodice, double the number for circumference.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt (usually 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist), double the number for circumference.
• Length: Measure from the highest shoulder point (where shoulder seam meets the neck) straight down to the hem for total dress length.
• Shoulder to sleeve hem (cap sleeve): Measure from the shoulder seam to the outer edge of the cap sleeve to check sleeve coverage.
• Hem width / skirt circumference: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for the full circumference to understand how full the skirt is.

Quick tips: measure while wearing similar undergarments and shoes (if you care about final length). If you fall between measurements, consider the style: this is a relaxed maxi — if you prefer room in the bust/hip area, size up; if you prefer a more fitted bodice, choose your exact measurements.

Materials & fabric details

Printed V-neck ruffled cap-sleeve maxi dresses are commonly made in one of these fabrications. Exact composition varies by production batch—always check the garment care label for the definitive fiber content.

• Typical main fabrics:
  • 100% Polyester (crepe or chiffon): Lightweight, soft drape, prints very well, resists wrinkles, low natural stretch.
  • Rayon / Viscose (100% or blended): Very soft with fluid drape and breathable feel; can be slightly more delicate and may require gentler care to avoid shrinking.
  • Polyester–Spandex or Rayon–Spandex blends: Add 2–5% elastane for a touch of stretch and improved shape recovery.
• Lining: Some versions include a lightweight polyester lining in the bodice or skirt lining for opacity and comfort. Unlined skirts may be slightly sheer in bright prints—check the product details if opacity is a concern.
• Fabric properties at a glance: good drape and movement, lightweight to midweight, low to moderate breathability (best for spring–summer and layered in cooler months), minimal pilling when cared for properly.

Note: For precise fiber content and any special finishes (e.g., anti-wrinkle, water-repellent), refer to the sewn-in label or product spec sheet supplied by the retailer/manufacturer.

Model information & fit notes

The model images represent a typical fit reference:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 33" (84 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 35" (89 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (US S) — dress falls to ankle / maxi length on the model.

Fit notes: this style generally runs true to size with a relaxed skirt and slightly fitted bodice. If you have a long torso or prefer more coverage at the chest, consider sizing up. Use the “How to measure” section to compare your measurements with the product's flat measurements if available.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow these steps to preserve color, ruffle shape and fabric hand.

1. Pre-wash prep: Close any fastenings, turn the dress inside out to protect the print and ruffles.
2. Washing:
   • Machine wash cold on a gentle/delicate cycle with like colors OR hand wash in cool water.
   • Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh stain removers.
3. Drying: Gently reshape and hang to dry or lay flat in shade. Avoid high-heat tumble drying; if you must tumble dry, use the lowest heat and shortest time.
4. Ironing & steaming: Use a low-heat iron on the reverse side or a garment steamer to remove wrinkles and revive ruffles. For delicate fabrics (rayon), prefer steaming to direct ironing. Use a pressing cloth if ironing.
5. Storage: Hang on a padded or shaped hanger to preserve shoulder shape and ruffle detail. Store out of direct sunlight to reduce fading. For long-term storage, use a breathable garment bag.
6. Quick fixes: Spot-clean fresh stains immediately with mild soap and water. For stubborn stains or delicate fabrics, consult a professional cleaner.

Extra tips: turning the dress inside out before washing protects the print and color. Steaming ruffles from underneath helps retain their shape without flattening them.

Style tips

• Casual daytime: Pair with flat leather sandals or white sneakers, a woven straw tote and simple gold hoops for an easy, vacation-ready look.
• Evening or special events: Elevate with heeled sandals, a slim metallic belt to define the waist, and a clutch. Add layered necklaces or chandelier earrings to draw attention to the V-neck.
• Office / smart casual: Add a cropped blazer or structured denim jacket and closed-toe block heels; keep jewelry minimal for a polished look.
• Transitional seasons: Wear with ankle boots and a lightweight moto or suede jacket; add opaque tights if needed under a shorter maxi length.
• Accessories: Thin belts slim the waist and change the silhouette; a silk scarf tied at the neck or in hair complements the ruffled neckline without competing with it.
• Fit & proportions: If you want to emphasize height, wear with a heel and a high-waisted belt. For a relaxed boho vibe, leave it unbelted and add stacked bracelets and a floppy hat.
