Fabric & Construction Details
We craft each Jessica Howard floral print dress from a premium polyester blend that offers the perfect balance of structure and movement. The fabric resists wrinkles throughout long events, so you maintain a polished appearance from first toast to last dance.
The vibrant floral print is applied using advanced dye techniques that ensure lasting color brilliance through repeated washing. Princess seams along the bodice create gentle shaping that flatters a range of body types, while the A-line skirt provides comfortable coverage without adding bulk.
Sizing & Fit Guide
True-to-Size Measurements
The Jessica Howard floral print party dress follows standard sizing with a tailored bodice fit and relaxed skirt silhouette. We recommend ordering your usual dress size for the best fit, as the princess seaming provides shape without requiring stretch fabric.
The bodice is designed to fit close through the bust and waist, then releases into a graceful A-line from the natural waistline. For those between sizes, we suggest sizing up if you prefer a more relaxed fit through the shoulders and bust.
Styling & Occasion Versatility
This floral print dress serves as a foundation piece for countless occasions throughout your social calendar. For daytime events like bridal showers or luncheons, pair it with neutral wedges and a structured handbag for polished sophistication.
Transition to evening cocktail parties by adding statement jewelry, strappy heels, and a clutch. The sleeveless design makes layering simple—drape a tailored blazer or cropped cardigan over your shoulders for air-conditioned venues or cooler weather.

Jessica Howard Floral Dress Questions
Yes, this dress follows standard sizing with a tailored bodice fit. Most customers find their usual dress size fits perfectly through the bust and waist, with the A-line skirt providing comfortable room through the hips.
If you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit through the shoulders, we recommend sizing up. The princess seaming creates shape without requiring stretch fabric, so accurate measurements ensure the best fit.
Absolutely—we designed this dress for easy care with machine washing on a gentle cycle. Turn the dress inside out, use cold water and mild detergent, then hang to dry or tumble on low heat.
The wrinkle-resistant polyester blend maintains its shape and vibrant floral print through repeated washing. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals to preserve the botanical colors. A quick steam refreshes the fabric if any wrinkles form during storage.
The midi-length hem typically falls 2-3 inches below the knee on women between 5'4" and 5'8" tall. Petite customers may find the hem grazes mid-calf, while taller wearers will see a slightly shorter midi length.
The versatile cut flatters at various lengths, making alterations optional for most body types. If you prefer a specific hem length for an upcoming event, a simple alteration can customize the fit to your height.
Yes, the bodice features full lining that prevents any transparency concerns and adds comfortable structure. The lining extends through the torso to the natural waistline where the A-line skirt begins.
This construction ensures the dress feels comfortable against skin and maintains a polished appearance throughout wear. The quality lining also helps the dress hold its shape and drape beautifully over your figure.
This versatile dress works beautifully for spring and summer weddings, garden parties, cocktail events, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and daytime celebrations. The sophisticated floral print and midi length strike the perfect balance between formal and approachable.
Pair it with heels and statement jewelry for evening events, or style it with wedges and a cardigan for afternoon occasions. The timeless design ensures you'll reach for it repeatedly across your social calendar.
This particular style does not include pockets, as we designed it with a streamlined silhouette that maintains smooth lines through the A-line skirt. The fit-and-flare shape creates beautiful drape and movement without bulk.
For events where you need to carry essentials, we recommend pairing the dress with a clutch or small crossbody bag that complements the floral print. The sleeveless design also allows for layering a blazer or cardigan with pockets if desired.
We recommend seamless undergarments in nude tones that won't show through the fabric or create visible lines. Since the bodice is fully lined and structured with princess seaming, most customers find a standard bra provides adequate support.
For additional shaping, a slip or shapewear that ends at the natural waistline works well under the bodice without adding bulk to the A-line skirt. The hidden back zipper accommodates various undergarment styles without compromising the dress's smooth finish.
