Sarah Express Strapless Pleated Maxi Dress Size Chart Measurements

Fit Tips:

  • Length: This is a full-length maxi dress. In heels, the hem should graze the floor; with flats, expect slight pooling. Consider your footwear choice when selecting size.
  • Bust Fit: The strapless bodice features elastic construction with a wide measurement range. If between sizes and you have a fuller bust, size up for comfort and security.
  • Waist Definition: High-waist design sits at natural waistline. The stretchy fabric accommodates different body shapes while maintaining a defined silhouette.
  • Hip & Split: The side split allows for ease of movement and works beautifully with the A-line skirt. Measure your hips at the fullest part when choosing your size.
  • Between Sizes? If your measurements fall between two sizes or span multiple size ranges, we recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially in the strapless bodice area.
  • Undergarments: We recommend a strapless or adhesive bra for support and smooth lines under the fitted bodice.
Features & Fabric
  • Key Features: Elegant strapless tube top neckline with stay-put elastic construction, romantic pleated A-line skirt with graceful movement, thigh-high side split for a touch of allure and ease of movement, stunning backless design that shows just the right amount of skin, high-waist seam that defines and flatters your natural waistline, solid color options that work beautifully for coordinated bridesmaid parties or individual styling.
  • Material Composition: Premium polyester (polyester fiber) fabric chosen for its excellent drape, wrinkle resistance, and comfortable stretch properties.
  • Fabric Feel: Smooth, lightweight polyester with a subtle sheen that photographs beautifully. The fabric has moderate stretch that provides comfortable give in the bodice and waist while maintaining the structured A-line silhouette. Medium-weight construction offers enough substance to drape elegantly without clinging, and the material moves fluidly with your body, especially noticeable in the pleated skirt and split detail.
  • Stretch: Moderate to high stretch in the bust, waist, and hip areas thanks to the elastic polyester construction. This allows the dress to accommodate the wide measurement ranges shown in the size chart while still maintaining a tailored, polished appearance.
  • Lining: Unlined construction keeps the dress lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear at warm-weather events. The quality polyester fabric is substantial enough to maintain modesty without requiring additional layers.
  • Opacity: Opaque fabric in solid colors ensures confidence and coverage. No slip required, though you may choose to wear shapewear for additional smoothing if desired.
  • Structure: Elastic band at strapless neckline provides secure, stay-put fit without constant adjusting. High-waist seam creates natural definition. A-line silhouette flows from waist to hem with beautiful movement.
  • Care Instructions: Hand wash cold with like colors to maintain fabric integrity and color vibrancy. Line dry or lay flat to dry to preserve the pleated details and overall shape. Do not bleach. If needed, use cool iron on reverse side of fabric to refresh pleats. For special occasions, professional dry cleaning is recommended to keep your dress looking pristine. Imported.

Complete Outfit Ideas

  • Garden Wedding Guest: Pair this dress in a soft blush or sage green with nude strappy heeled sandals and a woven clutch for daytime elegance. Add delicate gold jewelry—think small hoop earrings and a dainty bracelet—and finish with natural, glowing makeup and loose waves. Perfect for outdoor spring and summer ceremonies.
  • Bridesmaid Perfection: Coordinate with your bridal party in matching solid colors. Style with metallic heeled sandals (gold or silver depending on the wedding palette), matching jewelry sets provided by the bride, and a classic updo or sleek low bun to keep hair off the strapless neckline. Carry a small clutch that matches your shoes for a polished, unified look.
  • Evening Gala Glam: Choose the dress in classic black or deep jewel tones and elevate it with statement drop earrings and a bold cocktail ring—skip the necklace to let the strapless neckline shine. Add pointed-toe stiletto pumps and a structured envelope clutch. Finish with a bold red lip, dramatic eye makeup, and a sleek high ponytail or Hollywood waves for maximum impact at formal fundraisers or black-tie events.
  • Cocktail Party Chic: Style the dress in a vibrant solid color like emerald, royal blue, or ruby red with ankle-strap heels and a mini crossbody bag for hands-free mingling. Add modern accessories like geometric earrings and stackable bangles. Keep makeup fresh with a coordinating lip color and soft smokey eye. Perfect for cocktail hours, engagement parties, and upscale celebrations.
  • Romantic Date Night: Wear the dress in a soft, romantic color with strappy stilettos and a small shoulder bag. Add feminine touches with pearl or crystal stud earrings, a delicate bracelet, and a spritz of your signature perfume. Style hair in soft curls or a romantic side-swept updo, and keep makeup soft and glowing with pink-toned blush and a nude lip.
  • Prom or Formal Dance: Choose your favorite bold color and make it memorable with eye-catching accessories. Add sparkly strappy heels, a beaded or sequined clutch, and statement jewelry that reflects your personality. Consider a dramatic hairstyle like a braided crown or voluminous curls, and coordinate your makeup with your dress color for a cohesive, Instagram-worthy look.

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. We recommend ordering with plenty of time before your event to allow for delivery and any necessary alterations.
Q: What type of bra should I wear with this strapless dress?
A: We recommend a strapless bra, adhesive bra cups, or a quality stick-on bra depending on your support needs and comfort level. The elastic bodice provides some structure, but most customers prefer additional support. Make sure to test your undergarment choice before your event to ensure comfort and confidence.
Q: Will the strapless top stay up throughout the event?
A: Yes! The dress features elastic construction in the bust area that creates a secure, stay-put fit. For maximum security, ensure you choose the right size based on your bust measurement, and consider using fashion tape along the top edge for extra peace of mind during dancing and movement.
Q: How high is the split? Is it too revealing?
A: The split is a classic thigh-high design that hits mid-thigh, offering an elegant glimpse of leg without being overly revealing. It's positioned perfectly to allow graceful movement and add visual interest while remaining event-appropriate for weddings and formal occasions. The split closes naturally when standing and opens beautifully when walking.
Q: Can I have this dress altered or hemmed?
A: Absolutely! This dress works beautifully with alterations. A tailor can easily adjust the length if you prefer a different hem height, take in the waist for an even more customized fit, or add additional structure to the bodice if desired. We recommend trying the dress on with your event shoes before deciding on any alterations.
Q: Is this dress appropriate for a conservative or religious wedding ceremony?
A: While the dress features a strapless neckline and backless design, you can easily make it ceremony-appropriate by adding a coordinating shawl, bolero jacket, or elegant wrap during the ceremony. Many guests choose to cover up for the service and then remove the coverup for the reception, giving you two looks in one outfit.
Q: What colors work best for different wedding roles?
A: For bridesmaids, coordinate with the bride's chosen palette. As a wedding guest, avoid white, ivory, or anything that could photograph as bridal. Jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, ruby) are stunning for fall/winter weddings, while pastels and soft colors (blush, sage, lavender) are perfect for spring/summer. When in doubt, classic navy, burgundy, or dusty blue are universally flattering and event-appropriate.
Q: How do I keep the pleats looking crisp?
A: Hang the dress immediately upon arrival and after wearing to help pleats fall naturally. If pleats need refreshing, use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric or use a garment steamer at a safe distance. For important events, consider professional pressing the day before to ensure picture-perfect pleats.
Q: Can I wear this dress in cooler weather or for indoor events?
A: Yes! While the sleeveless, strapless design is ideal for warm weather, the maxi length and moderate-weight fabric work beautifully for indoor climate-controlled venues year-round. For fall or winter events, simply add an elegant shawl, faux fur stole, or tailored blazer that you can remove once inside.
Q: Will this dress work for my body type?
A: The A-line silhouette is universally flattering and designed to complement all body types. The high waist creates definition, the strapless neckline elongates the neck and shoulders, and the flowing skirt gracefully skims over the hips and thighs. The stretchy fabric accommodates different proportions, and the structured bodice provides support where you need it most.
