Floral Ruffled Short Sleeve Maxi Dress

Romance meets easy summer dressing in this tiered floral maxi. Layers of ruffles fall from a short sleeve bodice, giving the dress swishy movement and a breezy, garden ready feel.

It is cut from a light 100 percent polyester with no stretch, so it floats away from the body and keeps you cool on warm days. The unlined, airy build makes it the kind of dress you forget you are wearing.

Wear it to garden parties, vacations and long lunches in the sun. Flat sandals and a straw bag keep it relaxed, or add wedges to lift the look. The all over floral print makes styling effortless.

This one has a relaxed, flowing fit rather than a fitted one, so most people can size fairly comfortably, but it is still worth a quick check against the chart below. The bust runs from about 39.4 inches at S to 45.7 inches at XL, and the waist and hip open up as the tiers fall, so if you are between sizes the smaller one usually gives a flattering line while the larger adds breathing room. Length runs about 52 to 53.1 inches from S to XL, a graceful maxi. Since it is unlined and airy, it packs light and shakes out wrinkles quickly, which makes it a genuinely easy travel dress.
