Size Guide & Measurements

To ensure the perfect fit, consult the detailed size chart below. Measure your bust, waist, and desired dress length, then compare with the corresponding size. This dress features a flattering A-line silhouette that accommodates various body types.

How to Measure

Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.

Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, where the dress’s waistband will sit.

Length: Measure from your shoulder to where you want the dress hem to fall (typically mid-thigh for this A-line silhouette).

Care & Maintenance

Preserve the integrity of your gothic mini dress by following these care guidelines:

• Washing: Hand wash in cold water or use a delicate machine cycle. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents
• Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity. Use garment bags to protect from dust and maintain pristine condition
• Chain & Zipper Care: Gently wipe metal accents with a soft cloth to maintain their luster. Zip and unzip gently to extend zipper lifespan
