Blue Patchwork Denim Dress: Read the Raglan Fit Chart

L–3XL charts list bust, raglan sleeve and length. Compare a loose dress you own; the listing does not give a shoulder width, hip or hem measurement.

The blue patchwork denim dress lists L, XL, 2XL and 3XL, with a round neck and three-quarter sleeves. Its chart gives bust, raglan sleeve and dress length—but no conventional shoulder seam width. Before using the size label alone, compare those three values with a loose dress you already like to wear.

Compare the three printed columns separately

At L, the listing shows 142 cm bust, 45 cm raglan sleeve and 95 cm length. At 3XL, it shows 160 cm bust, 48 cm raglan sleeve and 98 cm length. Across those endpoints the bust figure increases 18 cm, but sleeve and length increase only 3 cm each. A shopper sizing up mainly for body room should not expect a matching large change in hem coverage or arm reach. Measure an owned dress in the same way if possible; if the listing’s measuring points are unclear, ask MAXCT where the bust, raglan sleeve and length start and end.

Do not substitute a shoulder measurement

A raglan sleeve runs into the neckline area differently from a set-in sleeve, so a shoulder width from an ordinary dress is not a direct substitute for this chart’s raglan figure. Put on your reference dress and note where its three-quarter sleeve ends on your forearm. Then request a photograph of the chosen size worn or laid flat with a ruler at the sleeve. The current text does not give hip or hem circumference, which also matters for movement and layering.

The listing names denim and a blue patchwork dress with pockets, while its detail section also says tie-dye. It does not locate every panel or pocket in text. Use the selected product photos to confirm the arrangement you want, and treat the chart numbers as listed measurements until their garment-versus-body convention is confirmed.
