Puff Sleeve Flounce Dress

How to measure

Use the instructions below to pick the right size or to record garment measurements. For best results use a soft measuring tape and measure over light clothing.

Measure your body (to choose your size)

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and relaxed. Wear a well-fitting, non-padded bra.
2. Waist: Measure at your natural waist — the narrowest point between ribcage and hips. Breathe normally; don’t suck in.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, with feet together and the tape level.
4. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other (typically from bone to bone).
5. Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam (or high point of shoulder) down to the wrist or to the desired sleeve hem.
6. Dress length: From the high point of shoulder (where the shoulder meets the neck) straight down to the hem.

Tips: record in both inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm). Round to the nearest 0.5 cm (or 1/4"). When between sizes, consider the fabric and desired fit: choose the larger size for restricted/stretch-free fabrics; size down only if you prefer a very fitted silhouette.

How we measure this garment (flat measurements)

1. Bust (flat): Measured across the chest from seam to seam with the garment laid flat — multiply by two for full circumference.
2. Waist (flat): Measured at the narrowest point of the dress laid flat — multiply by two.
3. Hip (flat): Measured 20 cm (approx. 8") down from the waist (or at the fullest skirt area) across the garment — multiply by two.
4. Shoulder to hem / overall length: From the high point of the shoulder to the bottom edge, measured on the front with the garment lying flat.
5. Sleeve length: From shoulder seam to cuff, measured along the top of the sleeve with the garment flat.
6. Sleeve opening / cuff: Measured across the finished cuff edge — multiply by two for full circumference.

Materials & fabric details

Common construction for a Puff Sleeve Flounce Dress:

Main fabric (shell)

Lightweight woven with soft drape — typically polyester chiffon, viscose, or a cotton blend depending on the style.

Lining

Light satin or lightweight polyester lining where opacity is needed (skirt or bodice), if the dress is lined.

Trims & elastics

Elastic thread or elastane blends in cuffs, waist channels, or shirring (usually 3–8% elastane) for comfortable stretch; buttons or covered snaps on some styles.

Fabric characteristics

• Drape: Soft and flowy—flounce details hold shape without stiffness.
• Opacity: Many styles are partially lined; see lining note if you want full coverage.
• Stretch: Typically low to moderate; fitted areas may include elastic or a small percentage of elastane.
• Care: Properties like wrinkle resistance and washability depend on fiber: polyester is more machine-washable, viscose and delicate cotton blends may need gentler care.

Note: Exact fiber content varies by production batch and style. Always check the sewn-in care/composition label for the precise material breakdown of your specific dress.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Read the label first: Follow the garment’s sewn care label for the definitive instructions.
2. Wash gently: Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in cold water. Use a mild detergent and wash similar colors together. Place delicate or embellished pieces in a mesh laundry bag.
3. Avoid bleach & harsh detergents: They can weaken fibers and fade color.
4. Drying: Reshape and line dry or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying unless the care label explicitly allows it.
5. Ironing & steaming: Turn garment inside out and iron on low heat if needed, or use a steamer to refresh flounces and remove wrinkles—steam is gentler on delicate fabrics.
6. Spot treatment: Treat stains promptly and gently; blot (don’t rub) and test any stain remover on an inconspicuous area first.
7. Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to protect the shoulders and keep the flounce looking fresh. For long-term storage, use breathable garment bags and avoid plastic covers that trap moisture.
8. Repairs & pilling: Mend loose threads promptly and use a fabric shaver carefully on pilled areas to maintain a smooth surface.

Style Tips

• Daytime / casual: Pair with flat sandals or white sneakers and a denim jacket for an easy, modern daytime look.
• Work / smart casual: Add a tailored blazer and low-heel pumps; cinch the waist with a slim belt to create a more structured silhouette.
• Evening / special occasion: Elevate with strappy heels, statement earrings, and a clutch. Choose delicate metallic jewelry to complement the flounce without overwhelming it.
• Layering for cooler weather: Wear a thin turtleneck underneath for contrast, add opaque tights and ankle boots, and top with a long coat for balance.
• Accessories: A waist-defining belt turns a flowy dress into a defined hourglass shape; pair with a crossbody bag for daytime or a clutch for dressier events.
• Hair & makeup: Soft waves or a low bun highlight the neckline and puff sleeves; keep makeup fresh and balanced—bold lips or subtle smoky eyes depending on the occasion.
