Slit Pocketed Short Sleeve Dress

How to measure

To get the best fit, measure either your body or a similar garment lying flat. Use a soft tape measure and keep it parallel to the floor.

1. Bust / Chest (body): Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust with arms relaxed. For a garment laid flat, measure across the front at the fullest point and multiply by two.
2. Waist (body): Measure around the natural waist (narrowest point). For a garment, measure the narrowest part flat and double the value.
3. Hip (body): Measure around the fullest part of the hips (approx. 8" / 20 cm below the waist). For a garment, measure flat at the fullest hip point and multiply by two.
4. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, or from one shoulder bone to the other on your body.
5. Sleeve length: For the garment, measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the short sleeve.
6. Center back length (CB): Measure from the base of the neck (center back where the neckline seam sits) straight down to the hem. For a garment, lay flat and measure from the highest point of the back neck to the hem.
7. Pocket opening & depth: Measure from shoulder seam (or waist reference) to the top edge of the pocket, and measure pocket depth and width if you plan to carry a phone/wallet.

Tip: Measure a similar, well-fitting item you already own and compare those numbers to the product size chart. Allow 1–3" (2.5–7.5 cm) of ease depending on whether you want a fitted or relaxed fit.

Materials

Check the garment label for the exact composition. Typical fabrications for this style include:

• 100% Cotton — breathable, comfortable, softens with wear and washing.
• Viscose / Rayon blends (sometimes with elastane) — drapey and smooth; blends with elastane add light stretch and improved recovery.
• Linen / Cotton blends — lightweight and breathable with natural texture; may wrinkle more readily.
• Polyester blends — durable, lower maintenance and more wrinkle resistant.

Construction notes: Slit pockets are usually stitched into side seams and reinforced at the openings. For exact fiber content and performance (e.g., stretch, breathability), refer to the product specification or label.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Always follow the care label first. General recommendations:

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the surface and color.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash delicate fabrics; use a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and harsh chemical stain removers unless the label permits them.
• Gently reshape and lay flat or hang to dry in the shade to prevent shrinking and fading; avoid prolonged direct sun exposure.
• Tumble dry on low only if the label allows; otherwise air dry.
• Iron on low to medium heat as needed; use steam for viscose blends and a pressing cloth for delicate fibers.
• Store on a hanger for woven styles to preserve shoulder shape, or fold knits to prevent stretching.
• Repair small snags or loose stitches promptly and avoid overloading pockets to maintain the dress’s lines.

Note: Some fabrics (e.g., viscose) are better handled gently and may benefit from hand washing or professional cleaning—refer to the garment label for the best results.

Style tips

• Casual: Pair with white sneakers or flat sandals and a crossbody bag for an effortless everyday look.
• Work-ready: Layer with a fitted blazer, add loafers or low block heels, and optionally cinch the waist with a slim belt for a polished silhouette.
• Vacation: Add a denim jacket or lightweight kimono, straw hat and espadrilles for relaxed holiday styling.
• Evening: Dress up with heeled sandals, statement earrings and a clutch—add a cropped jacket for cooler nights.
• Transition season: Wear over slim jeans or leggings with ankle boots and a long cardigan.
• Accessories: A belt can define the waist; keep pocket contents minimal to preserve smooth lines.
