Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress — Product Details

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and stand naturally with your feet together. For best accuracy, measure over light underwear or a fitted layer. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight. Record measurements in inches or centimetres (1 in = 2.54 cm).

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape level under the arms and across the shoulder blades.
• High bust (optional): Measure above the bust, under the arms and across the back—useful for fitted bodices.
• Waist: Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest point between ribs and hips). Breathe normally while measuring.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.
• Center back length (shoulder to hem): Measure from the base of the neck (where the shoulder meets the neck) straight down the center back to the hem—this determines how the maxi length will sit on you.
• Strap length (to check fit): Measure from the top edge of the front bodice (where the strap attaches) over the shoulder to the top edge of the back bodice—compare to the garment’s strap length if listed.
• Compare garment measurements: Lay a similar dress flat and measure across chest (pit to pit) and multiply by two; do the same for waist and hips. Measure shoulder seam to hem for length. Allow ~1–2 cm tolerance.

Materials & fabric details

Typical construction and characteristics for this style:

Main fabric

Viscose (rayon) blend with a small percentage of elastane (example: 95% viscose / 5% elastane). Soft, breathable and drapey with slight stretch for comfort and movement.

Lining

Often unlined for a lightweight feel. Some colourways or structured versions may include a lightweight polyester lining for opacity—check the product specification on the page.

Opacity & weight

Light to medium weight. Lighter colours may be slightly sheer in bright light; consider a slip for full coverage.

Stretch & recovery

Moderate crosswise stretch from elastane—helps maintain shape and increases comfort without losing the dress’s drape.

About the model

Reference fit example to help with sizing:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing size: Small (S) — typically equivalent to US 4 / UK 8

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle (30°C / 86°F) or hand wash for best results.
• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect colours and prints.
• Wash with like colours; avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Use a mild detergent.
• Avoid tumble drying—reshape and hang to dry in the shade or lay flat to avoid stretching. Direct sun can fade colours.
• If needed, iron on low heat on the reverse side or use a steamer to remove wrinkles. Avoid high heat on blends containing elastane.
• For delicate trims or heavy embellishment, professional dry cleaning is recommended.
• Storage: hang on a shaped or padded hanger to preserve straps and silhouette, or fold gently to prevent shoulder marks.

Style tips

• Daytime casual: Pair with flat sandals or espadrilles and a denim jacket; add a straw tote for a relaxed summer look.
• Evening: Elevate with heeled sandals, a slim metallic belt to define the waist, and statement earrings.
• Layering: For cooler evenings, try a cropped knit or leather jacket. A lightweight blazer works well for smart-casual events.
• Beach & vacation: Wear as a cover-up over swimwear with slide sandals and a wide-brim hat.
• Accessories: Long pendants or layered necklaces lengthen the silhouette; a thin belt transforms the shape for a more tailored look.
• Tailoring tips: Straps and hem are easy for a tailor to adjust—shorten straps for higher coverage or hem to your preferred maxi length.
