Slit Plaid Tie Neck Long Sleeve Maxi Dress

A full‑length plaid maxi with a tie neck, long sleeves and a side slit — elegant enough for evening, comfortable enough for daytime. Use the information below to measure, understand materials, care for the dress, and find styling ideas.

How to measure

Use a soft (flexible) tape measure. For consistent results, measure yourself while wearing close‑fitting undergarments, stand relaxed, and keep the tape parallel to the floor. Record measurements in inches or centimeters.

To choose the right size — measuring your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, across the nipples. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist), usually above the belly button.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest point of your hips and buttocks (usually 7–9 inches / 18–23 cm below the waist).
• Shoulder width: Measure from one shoulder bone to the other across the back.
• Sleeve length: With a slightly bent elbow, measure from the top of the shoulder (where a sleeve seam would sit) down to the wrist bone.
• Center front length: From the highest point of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) straight down to the hem at the center front.

To measure a garment (lay‑flat method)

Lay the dress on a flat, smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching fabric. Double flat measurements where applicable (front measurement × 2 = full circumference).

• Bust (armpit to armpit): Measure across the front 1" (2–3 cm) below the armholes; multiply by 2.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part of the dress; multiply by 2.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the fullest part of the skirt; multiply by 2.
• Shoulder (seam to seam): Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
• Sleeve length (seam to cuff): Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Center back length: From the center back collar seam to the hem.
• Hem circumference: Measure the skirt hem flat and multiply by 2 to understand how full the skirt is.

Tip: allow 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) of ease in bust/hips depending on how fitted or relaxed you want the silhouette to be.

Materials & fabric details

Typical construction for this style:

• Shell (main fabric): Woven plaid fabric — commonly polyester or a polyester blend. Woven construction gives structure and crisp plaid definition.
• Lining: Lightweight polyester lining is often used for opacity and smooth drape (if this style is lined).
• Trim: Self‑fabric tie at the neck; non‑functional or decorative slit at the skirt side.
• Fabric characteristics: medium weight with good drape, generally low to medium stretch (unless a small percentage of elastane is included). Colorfast and wrinkle‑resistant compared with natural fibers, but avoid high heat.

Exact fiber content can vary by batch or colorway — always check the product tag or the product page for the precise composition before purchase or care.

Model & fit information

• Sample model data: Height 5'9" (175 cm), Bust 32" (81 cm), Waist 24" (61 cm), Hips 35" (89 cm); wearing size Small.
• Fit notes: Maxi length with a relaxed skirt and defined tie neck. The side slit increases mobility and shows a bit of leg. Overall fits true to size; if you are between sizes and prefer a looser skirt or want to layer underneath, consider sizing up.
• Length considerations: If you are noticeably shorter or taller than the sample model, consider how maxi length will fall — hemming is an easy alteration for a perfect finish.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, or hand wash. Turn the dress inside out and secure ties so they don’t tangle. Use a mild detergent.
• Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry in shade to avoid sun fading. If you must tumble dry, use low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkles.
• Ironing/steaming: Use a low‑heat iron on the reverse side or gently steam to remove wrinkles. Avoid pressing directly on the plaid print at high heat.
• Dry clean: For best long‑term preservation of shape and color, or when in doubt after a stain, professional dry cleaning is safe for most woven polyester blends.
• Stain removal: Blot spills immediately; spot treat with a mild soap solution and rinse. Test any stain remover on an inside seam first.
• Storage: Hang on a wide or padded hanger to keep shoulder shape. Store in a breathable garment bag for long‑term storage; avoid plastic covers that trap moisture.
• General tips: Avoid bleach and harsh detergents, over‑drying, and very high ironing temperatures to prevent fabric damage or color loss.

Style tips

• Daytime casual: Wear with white sneakers or flat ankle boots and a denim jacket for an easy, modern look.
• Office / smart casual: Pair with a tailored blazer and low block heels; tuck the tie in or make a small bow for a neat neckline.
• Evening / date night: Slip on strappy heels, leave the tie loose or open the neckline slightly, and add statement earrings or a clutch for polish.
• Layering: In cooler weather layer a thin turtleneck underneath or add a long wool coat and knee‑high boots for a chic fall outfit.
• Accessories: Swap the self‑tie for a slim leather belt to define the waist, add layered necklaces if you untie the neck, or use a brooch for a vintage touch.
• Mixing prints: Keep accessories solid or in subtle textures — a leather bag or suede boot complements plaid without competing.
• Styling the slit: For a modest look, choose midi‑length underlayer or wear opaque tights. To highlight the slit, wear heels or ankle boots to elongate the leg.
