Surplice Tie Waist Maxi Dress

How to measure

To get the best fit, measure both your body and (if possible) the dress laid flat. Use a soft measuring tape, stand relaxed, keep the tape parallel to the floor and don't pull it tight.

Measure your body

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust with a bra you plan to wear with the dress.
2. Underbust: Measure directly under your bust for band/fit reference.
3. Waist: Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest point), standing relaxed.
4. Hips: Measure at the fullest part of your hips and seat, usually 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below waist.
5. Torso / Front length: From the top of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) down the front to where you want the hem to fall.
6. Shoulder width: From one shoulder seam to the other across the back (useful for fitted shoulders).
7. Arm / sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the wrist if the dress has sleeves.

Measure the garment (lay flat)

Lay the dress on a flat surface, smooth out wrinkles (do not stretch), then measure and double where indicated to get the full circumference.

Quick fit guide: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. Recommended ease (extra room beyond body measurement): 1–2" (2.5–5 cm) for fitted; 2–4" (5–10 cm) for true-to-size; 4"+ (10+ cm) for relaxed. For knit/stretch fabrics reduce recommended ease accordingly. Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials & fabric details

Composition varies by production batch and print. Common fabrics for a surplice tie-waist maxi include:

• Viscose / Rayon: Soft, fluid drape and breathable. Tends to wrinkle and can shrink if not washed gently.
• Polyester: Durable, holds color and prints well, resists wrinkles. Less breathable than natural fibers.
• Jersey (viscose/polyester + elastane): Stretchy, comfortable, forgiving fit—good for wrap styles that need movement.
• Linen or linen blends: Crisp, breathable and great for warm weather; will naturally crease.
• Silk or silk blends: Luxurious drape and sheen—often labeled “dry clean only.”
• Chiffon / georgette / crepe: Lightweight and semi-sheer; usually lined or layered for opacity.

Example label format (replace with actual label info): “Shell: 100% Viscose. Lining: 100% Polyester.” Always refer to the product detail section and the sewn-in care label for the exact fiber content.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label first. Below are general best practices by fabric type and everyday care tips to extend the life of the dress.

General daily care

• Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect colors and prints.
• Remove ties and belts if detachable; tie loosely when storing to avoid creases at the knot.
• Avoid direct contact with deodorant, perfume and oils—apply and let dry before dressing.

Washing & drying

• Machine-washable blends (polyester, jersey blends): Cold water, gentle cycle, similar colors. Use a mesh bag for delicate items.
• Viscose/rayon/linen: Hand wash cold or machine on gentle; avoid hot water. Reshape and hang or lay flat to dry to prevent distortion.
• Silk / delicate chiffons: Dry clean recommended; if hand washing, use a gentle silk detergent and air-dry flat.
• Avoid high heat tumble drying—heat can shrink or damage fibers and trims. If necessary, tumble on low for sturdy poly pieces only.

Ironing & steaming

• Steam to remove wrinkles—steaming is gentler and keeps drape intact.
• If ironing, use the temperature recommended on the care label and iron inside out or with a pressing cloth.
• Avoid ironing elastic seams or trims directly.

Storage & maintenance

• Hang on a shaped or padded hanger for structured shoulders; fold delicate knits to avoid stretching.
• Store in a breathable garment bag for long-term storage; avoid plastic which can trap moisture.
• Repair loose seams or small snags promptly to prevent bigger damage.

Style tips

• Daytime / casual: Wear with flat sandals or white sneakers and a denim jacket. Keep accessories minimal—layered delicate necklaces work well with the V-neck.
• Office / smart casual: Add a tailored blazer, low block heels or mules, and a structured tote. Tuck the ties or swap for a slim leather belt for a cleaner silhouette.
• Evening: Elevate with strappy heels, statement earrings, and a clutch. Knot the tie into a neat bow or remove and use a metallic belt to glam it up.
• Resort / beach: Lightweight sandals, a wide-brim hat and oversized sunglasses—use a simple slip underneath for coverage if the fabric is sheer.
• Cooler weather: Layer with a cropped leather jacket or long duster coat and ankle boots. Add tights if extra warmth is needed.
• Undergarments: A strapless or convertible bra is ideal for surplice necklines. For extra coverage at the chest, secure the wrap with a small snap or fashion tape.
• Body-shape tips: Emphasize the waist (tie high for empire line, at the natural waist for hourglass). For petite frames, consider slight hemming or heels; for tall frames, the maxi length naturally works well.
