Fit the Non-Stretch Nellie Dress Through Its Side Zip

Check whether S–XXL bust and waist figures describe bodies or garments, then request actual maxi length.

The Nellie polka-dot maxi dress combines a non-stretch body, side invisible zip and back tie. For this construction, the bust and waist chart needs a measurement-convention check before treating its numbers as guaranteed garment clearance.

Fit through the side zip

The S–XXL table shows bust 86, 91, 96, 101 and 107 cm, while waist goes 68, 73, 78, 83 and 89 cm. Ask whether these are body targets or finished garment circumferences and request flat measurements at the underarm and narrowest waist. Compare a lined, non-stretch dress you wear comfortably at both points; the back tie may alter shape, but it does not establish how far the side zip opens.

Place the hem on your own frame

The listing says 100% polyester, full lining, V neckline and gathering at the bust, yet no product-specific shoulder-to-hem length is printed. Ask for that length in the chosen size and an image of the lining hem; “maxi” is not a fixed floor clearance. Black Polka Dot is the only listed colour. The measurement guide explains why body and garment charts must be read differently.
