Striped Cap Sleeve Mini Dress

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure and measure over light clothing. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug but not tight. Record measurements in cm or inches (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Measure your body

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, across the nipples and under the arms.
• Waist: Find your natural waist (the narrowest point) and measure around it.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks (usually ~18–20 cm / 7–8 in below the waist).
• Shoulder width: Measure from the tip of one shoulder across the back to the tip of the other shoulder.
• Dress length: From the highest point of the shoulder (next to the base of the neck) straight down to the hem.
• Cap sleeve length: From the shoulder seam (or high point of shoulder) to the end of the sleeve.

Measure a garment (laid flat)

• Bust (flat): Lay the dress flat, smooth wrinkles, measure across the chest about 1–2 cm below the armhole seam, then double that number for the circumference.
• Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part of the dress and double.
• Hips (flat): Measure across the widest part near the hem (about where the body hips sit) and double.
• Shoulder width: Measure seam-to-seam across the back.
• Dress length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
• Sleeve length: Measure from shoulder seam to sleeve hem.

Recommended ease (additional room beyond your body measurements): for a fitted knit mini dress allow about 1–3 cm / 0.5–1.25 in at the bust; for a relaxed fit allow 4–10 cm / 1.5–4 in. If the fabric has stretch, you can choose a closer fit.

Materials

Typical composition for a striped cap-sleeve mini dress:

• Main fabric: Cotton-rich jersey or cotton blend (commonly 95% cotton, 5% elastane) — soft, breathable with light stretch for comfort and shape retention.
• Alternative fabrics you may encounter: Viscose blends (drapey, fluid), polyester blends (durable, easy-care), or linen blends (breathable, textured).
• Trim & hardware: Buttons or closures usually plastic or metal; linings (if any) are often viscose or polyester.

Check the garment care label for the exact fiber content for this specific item. Fabric composition affects fit and care (stretch vs. no-stretch, drying and ironing recommendations).

Model information

Model details (example):

• Height: 175 cm / 5'9"
• Wearing: Size S (gives a semi-fitted silhouette)
• Model measurements: Bust 82 cm / 32.5", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35"

If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for more ease or a smaller size for a closer fit if the fabric is stretchy.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Washing: Turn the dress inside out and machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold or lukewarm water (30°C / 86°F) with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.
• Drying: Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sun to prevent fading. Avoid high-heat tumble drying; if needed use low heat.
• Ironing: Iron inside out on low to medium heat. For blends with elastane, avoid high temperatures to preserve stretch. Use steam for wrinkles if needed.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to keep shoulder lines, or fold knit dresses to prevent overstretching. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
• Stain care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; test on an inconspicuous area first. Spot-clean rather than overwashing.
• Pilling & maintenance: Use a fabric shaver or depiller gently to remove pills. Avoid rough surfaces that can snag stripes.
• Special fabrics: If the dress is made from viscose, silk or an embellished fabric, consider hand wash or professional dry cleaning per the care label.

Style tips

• Casual day: White sneakers, a denim jacket and a crossbody bag for effortless weekend style.
• Beach / summer: Straw hat, flat sandals and wicker tote for a breezy holiday look.
• Date night: Cinch the waist with a slim leather belt, add strappy heels and statement earrings.
• Office-smart: Layer under a tailored blazer, add low block heels or loafers and a minimalist tote (choose conservative accessories for a polished look).
• Transition to cooler weather: Wear with opaque tights, ankle boots and a long cardigan or wool coat; add a thin turtleneck underneath for warmth without bulk.
• Accessories: Keep stripes the focal point — pair with solid-colored accessories. For layered jewelry, choose delicate gold or silver to complement rather than compete with the pattern.
• Mixing patterns: If mixing prints, keep scale in mind: pair the stripe dress with a small-scale dotted scarf or a subtle textured jacket rather than another bold stripe.
