Printed V-Neck Short Sleeve Mini Dress — Measuring, Materials, Model & Care

How to measure this dress

For the most accurate fit, measure a similar dress that fits you well laid flat and compare using the instructions below. Use a soft tape measure, lay the garment on a flat surface, and do not stretch the fabric while measuring.

Garment measurements (measure the dress laid flat)

• Bust (flat): Measure straight across the front 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from side seam to side seam. Multiply this number by 2 to get the full bust circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part of the dress (natural waist or elastic position) from side seam to side seam; double to get circumference.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt (typically 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist); double for circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.
• Length (HPS to hem): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (HPS) at the neckline straight down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure across the bottom edge from side seam to side seam; double for circumference.

How to measure your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with the tape level and arms relaxed.
• Waist: Measure around the natural waist (the narrowest part), keeping the tape comfortably snug.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest point of your hips (about 7–9" / 18–23 cm below the waist).
• Height: Stand straight without shoes and measure from the top of your head to the floor if you want to compare dress length.
• Wear thin undergarments while measuring and keep the tape parallel to the floor.

Choosing your fit

Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. Recommended additional ease (garment minus body) depending on desired fit:

• Fitted: about 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm)
• Semi-fitted: about 2–4 in (5–10 cm)
• Relaxed: 4 in (10 cm) or more

Note: If the fabric contains stretch, you can allow less ease; if it is non-stretch, allow more for comfort and movement.

Quick conversions: 1 in = 2.54 cm. To convert a flat measurement to circumference multiply by 2.

Materials & fabric details

• Main fabric: Lightweight printed woven polyester (100% polyester) — soft drape, vivid print clarity.
• Stretch: Minimal (non-stretch unless specified as containing elastane).
• Opacity: Lightweight woven fabric may be slightly sheer on very light prints; consider a slip if needed.
• Properties: Quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant, colorfast print retention. Polyester is easy-care and holds bright colors well.
• Note: Always check the product label for the exact fiber content (some styles may include viscose or a small % of elastane which alters drape and stretch).

Model information

The model is 5'9" (175 cm) with measurements approximately: Bust 32" (81 cm) / Waist 24" (61 cm) / Hips 35" (89 cm) and is wearing a size S. On this model the dress falls at mid-thigh — if you prefer a longer or more relaxed fit, consider sizing up.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the print and colors.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and wash with like colors.
• Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers that can damage print and fibers.
• Do not wring. Reshape gently and hang to dry or lay flat in shade. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Iron inside out on low heat if needed, or use a steamer to remove wrinkles. Avoid high heat directly on printed areas.
• Tumble drying is not recommended (low tumble may be tolerated on some polyester blends, but air-drying preserves shape and print longevity).
• For stubborn stains or preservation of delicate trims, dry cleaning is optional — follow the care label.
• Storage: hang on a shaped or padded hanger to keep the shoulder line, or fold neatly in a drawer if space is limited. Keep away from rough surfaces to avoid snags.

Style tips

• Casual day: White sneakers or flat sandals, denim jacket, simple crossbody bag — effortless and comfortable.
• Date night / evening: Strappy heels or heeled sandals, statement earrings and a clutch; add a cropped leather jacket for edge.
• Work-friendly: Add a tailored blazer and low block heels; pair with opaque tights for cooler months to make the mini appropriate for the office.
• Vacation: Espadrille wedges, wide-brim hat and woven tote for an easy warm-weather look.
• Layering: Layer a fitted turtleneck underneath for cooler days, or top with an oversized cardigan or trench coat in transitional seasons.
• Belt it: Add a slim or statement belt at the waist to create definition and change the silhouette.
• Accessories: V-necklines pair beautifully with delicate layered necklaces or a single pendant; pick one color from the print for shoes or bag to tie the look together.
• Body-shape tips: Pear shapes: emphasize the top with statement jewelry and choose an A-line mini; apple shapes: look for styles that skim the midsection; hourglass: cinch the waist; rectangle: add a belt or ruffle detail to create curves.
