Ruffled Collared Neck Long Sleeve Denim Top | Medium / S 100100907540066

How to measure

Use a flexible measuring tape. For most accurate results measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface; for body measurements stand straight and measure against the body. When a garment measurement is taken flat, multiply by 2 to get the full circumference.

1. Chest / Bust (Garment) — Lay the top flat and smooth out wrinkles. Measure across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the chest circumference (e.g., 19" flat = 38" circumference). For body measurement, measure around the fullest part of the bust with tape parallel to the floor.
2. Shoulder Width — Measure straight across the back from the outside edge of one shoulder seam to the outside edge of the other shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve Length — Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff for a standard sleeve measurement. If pattern uses center-back to cuff, measure from the center back base of the collar across the shoulder to the cuff.
4. Back / Center Length — Measure from the center back at the base of the collar (where the collar meets the body) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem Width — Measure across the bottom hem from one side to the other and double to get the circumference.
6. Cuff Opening — Measure across the wrist opening while laid flat and double for circumference.
7. Ruffle / Collar Details — Measure the collar height (from collar base to top of ruffle) and the ruffle depth (how far the ruffle extends) while the collar is laid flat and un-stretched.

Measurement tips: record both centimeters and inches; measure twice for consistency; do not stretch the fabric while measuring; for a comfortable fit allow 2–4 in (5–10 cm) of wearing ease at the bust depending on desired fit.

Materials & construction

Typical composition and detailing for a ruffled collared denim top:

• Main fabric: 100% cotton denim (medium weight). Structured at first and softens with wear and washes. Offers breathability and durability.
• If labeled as stretch denim: commonly 98% cotton + 2% elastane for slight give—check garment label for exact blend.
• Trims: metal or coated metal buttons, reinforced buttonholes.
• Thread & finishing: polyester/cotton blended thread for seam strength; typically unlined with clean seam finishes.

Note: Always check the sewn-in care/composition label on the garment for the exact fabric percentages and trim details.

Model information

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements (example): Bust 32" / Waist 24" / Hips 34" (81 / 61 / 86 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S)
• Fit notes: The top is photographed for a slightly relaxed, feminine fit that allows for movement through the ruffle and sleeves. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; for layering or an oversized look, size up.

Care guide — To keep it lovely longer

1. Turn the top inside out before washing to protect the ruffled collar and preserve color.
2. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors to reduce dye transfer and fading. Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach.
3. Wash denim items separately or with similar darks for the first few washes to prevent bleeding onto lighter garments.
4. Avoid fabric softeners frequently—use sparingly if needed (they can reduce denim’s natural texture).
5. Air dry flat or hang to dry; reshape the collar and ruffle while damp. If you must tumble dry, use low heat and remove promptly to prevent over-shrinkage.
6. Iron inside-out on medium heat if needed; steam the ruffle/collar lightly to restore shape without flattening details.
7. Spot clean small stains promptly using a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains follow label recommendations—some denim benefits from professional cleaning.
8. Store folded or on a wide, padded hanger to avoid shoulder distortion; avoid overcrowding in the wardrobe to keep ruffles intact.

Quick tips: wash less frequently to preserve color and finish, and always check the garment’s care label first.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: Pair with white or black skinny jeans and low-top sneakers for a fresh, easy look.
• Office-smart: Tuck into a high-waisted tailored trouser or midi skirt; add a slim belt and block heels to balance the ruffle detail.
• Layering: Wear under a sleeveless dress or a slip dress for a modern layered silhouette, or under a structured blazer to mix soft and sharp elements.
• Accessories: Keep jewelry minimal if the ruffle is prominent—small hoops or a single pendant work well. For a bold look, add a wide leather belt and statement boots.
• Seasonal switch: In cooler months layer a fine-gauge knit over the top leaving the collar and ruffle to peek out, or add a trench to contrast textures.
• Ruffle care for styling: Steam lightly to revive volume, and arrange the ruffle with your fingers after drying for a polished finish.
