Size & Fit Guide
This midi dress features a relaxed, flowing fit designed for comfortable all-day wear. The batwing sleeves create a draped, elegant effect with plenty of room through the shoulders and arms, while the chiffon fabric skims the body without clinging. The midi length (approximately 51-53 inches from shoulder to hem) typically hits mid-calf to ankle depending on your height, creating a sophisticated, modest silhouette.
Important Sizing Note: This item uses Asian sizing, which runs 1-2 sizes smaller than standard US sizing. We strongly recommend ordering one to two sizes up from your usual size for the best fit. The flowing chiffon style is forgiving, so when in doubt, size up for comfortable ease.

Fit Tips:
- Asian sizing runs significantly smaller—always size up 1-2 sizes from your typical US size
- Bust measurement is the most critical for chiffon dresses; measure at the fullest part of your bust and compare to the chart
- The batwing sleeve design is very forgiving through the arms and shoulders—no need to worry about sleeve fit
- Length is measured from shoulder to hem; at 51-53 inches, this is a long midi or even maxi on petite frames (under 5'4")
- For heights 5'0"-5'4": Expect ankle-length or floor-length fit
- For heights 5'5"-5'8": Expect mid-calf to ankle length (true midi)
- For heights 5'9"+: Expect mid-calf length
- The flowing A-line silhouette doesn't require precise hip measurements—the fabric drapes naturally
- Chiffon is lightweight and slightly sheer; consider layering with a slip dress or camisole underneath if desired
- Between sizes? Choose the larger size for comfortable, flowing ease
Features & Fabric
- Key Features: Classic crew neckline sits comfortably at the base of the neck; dramatic batwing sleeves (also called dolman sleeves) create a sophisticated, draped silhouette; elbow-length sleeves offer coverage while remaining airy; flowing midi-length skirt provides elegant, modest coverage; relaxed A-line silhouette flatters all body types; lightweight construction perfect for layering or wearing solo
- Material Composition: 100% Polyester chiffon
- Fabric Feel: Luxuriously soft, lightweight chiffon with an ethereal, flowing drape. The polyester chiffon has a smooth, slightly sheer quality that feels gentle against skin. The fabric has beautiful movement—it floats and flows with your steps, creating an elegant, feminine effect. While delicate in appearance, polyester chiffon is more durable than silk chiffon and resists wrinkles well. The fabric is breathable and comfortable in warm weather while remaining substantial enough for cooler days when layered.
- Stretch: No stretch—chiffon is a woven fabric with natural drape rather than elasticity; fit comes from the generous cut and flowing design
- Lining: Typically unlined or partially lined (check product details); we recommend wearing a slip dress or camisole underneath for opacity if desired
- Opacity: Chiffon is naturally semi-sheer to sheer depending on color; darker colors (black, purplish red) offer more coverage; lighter colors (white) are more transparent and benefit from layering
- Weight: Lightweight and airy, perfect for warm weather and comfortable all-day wear
- Batwing Sleeve Explained: The batwing (or dolman) sleeve is cut as one piece with the body, creating a wide, draped sleeve that's roomy under the arm and tapers toward the wrist or elbow. This design is incredibly comfortable and flattering, creating an elegant silhouette without restricting movement.
- Care Instructions: Hand wash cold recommended to preserve delicate chiffon. If machine washing, use gentle cycle in a mesh garment bag with cold water. Use mild detergent. Do not bleach. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight—do not tumble dry. Steam or cool iron on lowest setting if needed; test on inconspicuous area first. Handle gently when wet as chiffon is delicate. Imported.
How to Style
This batwing sleeve midi dress embodies the "temperament commuting" style—a sophisticated aesthetic that's polished enough for professional environments yet comfortable and feminine enough for everyday wear. The flowing chiffon and elegant length create an effortlessly refined look that requires minimal styling. The versatile design transitions seamlessly from office meetings to dinner dates, garden parties to weekend brunches. The batwing sleeves make a subtle statement without feeling trendy or costume-like, ensuring this dress remains a wardrobe staple for years to come.
Complete Outfit Ideas
- Professional Office Elegance: Layer with a structured blazer in a complementary neutral tone—navy blazer with the green or blue dress, black blazer with the purplish red or silver gray. Add closed-toe pumps or block heel loafers and simple stud earrings. Carry a structured tote bag. The midi length and crew neck are office-appropriate, while the blazer adds formality and tames the flowing silhouette for boardrooms. Perfect for presentations, client meetings, or professional events.
- Smart Casual Work Day: Wear the dress solo with ankle boots or ballet flats. Add a slim leather belt at the natural waist to define your silhouette and break up the flowing length. Simple jewelry—delicate necklace and small hoops or studs. Carry a crossbody bag or tote. The batwing sleeves provide enough interest that you don't need bold accessories. This works beautifully for creative offices, casual Fridays, or work-from-home video calls where you want to look polished.
- Garden Party or Daytime Event: Style with woven wedge sandals and a wide-brim straw hat. Add natural wood or rattan accessories—a circle bag or woven clutch. Choose delicate, nature-inspired jewelry like floral earrings or a simple pendant. The flowing chiffon is perfect for outdoor events where you want to look elegant but stay comfortable. Bring a lightweight cardigan or pashmina for changing temperatures. Beautiful for garden weddings, outdoor brunches, or summer celebrations.
- Weekend Casual Chic: Dress it down with white sneakers or flat sandals and a denim jacket tied around your waist or worn casually. Add sunglasses, a crossbody bag, and minimal jewelry. The contrast of the elegant dress with casual elements creates that coveted high-low mix. Perfect for farmers markets, coffee dates, art gallery visits, or weekend errands where you want to feel put-together without trying too hard.
- Evening Dinner or Date Night: Elevate with heeled sandals or strappy block heels. Add statement earrings that complement the neckline—the crew neck is perfect for showcasing dramatic earrings. Carry a small clutch or envelope bag. Style hair in an elegant updo or soft waves. Add a cropped leather jacket or tailored blazer for cooler evenings. The flowing midi length and chiffon fabric create romantic movement perfect for dinner reservations or evening events.
Styling Q&A
- Q: How long does shipping take?
- A: This item qualifies for standard delivery and typically arrives in 7-12 business days within the USA.
- Q: I normally wear a US size Medium—what size should I order?
- A: Since this uses Asian sizing which runs 1-2 sizes smaller, we recommend ordering XL or 2XL if you're typically a US Medium. Check your bust measurement carefully: a US Medium typically has a 36-38 inch bust, which would correspond to XL or 2XL in this size chart. The flowing style is forgiving, so sizing up ensures comfortable fit.
- Q: Is this dress see-through? Do I need to wear something underneath?
- A: Chiffon is naturally a semi-sheer fabric, and opacity varies by color. Darker colors (Black, Purplish Red) provide more coverage, while lighter colors (White, Silver Gray) are more transparent. We recommend wearing a slip dress, camisole, or fitted tank and shorts/bike shorts underneath for comfort and opacity. This is standard for chiffon dresses and allows you to customize coverage to your preference.
- Q: What are batwing sleeves and will they look bulky?
- A: Batwing sleeves (also called dolman sleeves) are cut as one piece with the dress body, creating a wide, draped sleeve that's very roomy under the arm. They're not bulky at all—in fact, they're incredibly flattering because they create an elegant, flowing silhouette. The wide cut balances out the hips and creates a graceful drape. They're also extremely comfortable because there's no restriction under the arms, making them perfect for all-day wear.
- Q: Will this dress drag on the ground? I'm 5'3".
- A: At 5'3", this dress will likely hit at ankle length or possibly touch the floor, depending on the exact size you choose (lengths vary slightly by size from 51-53 inches). You have two options: embrace the long, elegant look with heels or flats, or have it hemmed to your preferred length. Chiffon is easy to alter. Many petite customers love the dramatic, flowing length, while others prefer hemming it to mid-calf.
- Q: Can I machine wash this or is hand wash only necessary?
- A: While hand washing is gentlest and will extend the life of the delicate chiffon, you can machine wash on a gentle cycle if needed. Always use a mesh garment bag to protect the fabric, wash in cold water with mild detergent, and hang to dry. Never put chiffon in the dryer—the heat can damage the delicate fibers. Handle gently when wet as chiffon is more fragile when saturated.
- Q: Which color is most versatile?
- A: Black is the most versatile for maximum outfit combinations and year-round wear. Silver Gray is sophisticated and works across seasons while being less common than black. Blue and Green are beautiful for spring and summer with fresh, elegant appeal. Purplish Red makes a bolder statement perfect for events. White is classic and perfect for warm weather but requires the most attention to layering underneath. Choose based on your wardrobe needs and color preferences—all six options are elegant and easy to style.
