Fabric & Construction Details
We crafted the Alex Marie floral dress from a premium polyester blend chosen specifically for its recovery and color retention properties. The outer fabric resists wrinkles even after hours of wear or travel, maintaining that fresh-pressed appearance without constant attention.
The botanical print undergoes our proprietary dyeing process that locks pigments deep within the fibers, preventing the fading that often plagues floral patterns after repeated washing. Inside, we’ve added a soft cotton lining that moves with you rather than clinging to your skin, providing breathability on warm days while ensuring complete opacity.
Sizing & Fit Guide
True-to-Size Measurements
The Alex Marie floral dress runs true to standard US sizing with a tailored bodice and relaxed skirt. We’ve designed the waist to sit naturally at your narrowest point, creating definition without constriction. The bust features princess seams that accommodate different shapes while maintaining a clean silhouette.
For reference, our size 6 measures 34″ bust, 28″ waist, and 38″ hip, with a 38″ length from shoulder to hem. The A-line skirt provides ample room through the hips without adding bulk, making this style flattering across body types.
Styling & Versatility
We see customers wearing the Alex Marie floral dress across countless occasions, and that versatility was central to our design philosophy. Pair it with ballet flats and a cardigan for brunch, then transition to heeled sandals and statement jewelry for evening events.
The botanical print’s color palette coordinates beautifully with solid blazers, denim jackets, and leather accessories. The knee-length hem strikes the perfect balance between conservative and contemporary, making it appropriate for office environments, weddings, graduations, and religious services.

Questions About the Alex Marie Floral Dress
The dress measures approximately 38 inches from shoulder to hem in size 6, hitting just below the knee on most women between 5’4″ and 5’8″. The length varies slightly by size, with each size up or down changing the length by about half an inch.
If you’re petite or tall, the hem can be easily altered by a tailor without disrupting the dress’s proportions. The A-line skirt design maintains its flattering shape even when shortened or lengthened by several inches.
Yes, this dress works beautifully for semi-formal and cocktail events when styled appropriately. The sophisticated botanical print and tailored bodice create an elevated look that’s suitable for weddings, garden parties, and evening receptions.
Pair it with heeled sandals or pumps, statement jewelry, and a structured clutch to dress it up. Many customers wear it to wedding ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, and upscale daytime events. For black-tie affairs, you might prefer a floor-length gown, but this dress excels at everything from cocktail hour to Sunday services.
Machine wash the dress on a gentle cycle with cold water, turning it inside out before placing it in the washer. Use a mild detergent without bleach or harsh chemicals, and wash with similar colors to prevent any potential color transfer.
Remove the dress promptly after the cycle completes and either hang it on a padded hanger or lay it flat to air dry. The wrinkle-resistant fabric will smooth naturally as it dries. Our color-lock technology is designed to maintain vibrancy through regular washing, but avoiding high heat and harsh detergents will extend the life of the print.
The fabric has approximately 5% stretch in the cross-grain, providing comfortable movement while maintaining a structured, tailored appearance. The bodice is fitted with princess seaming that shapes to your body without requiring significant stretch.
The A-line skirt has more relaxed ease through the hips and doesn’t rely on stretch for fit. This combination gives you a polished silhouette with enough flexibility for sitting, walking, and reaching comfortably throughout the day. The dress holds its shape well and doesn’t bag out after wear.
The dress is fully lined, so you can wear standard undergarments without concern for visibility or sheerness. Many customers wear a strapless or convertible bra depending on the neckline, though the bodice construction provides gentle support.
The lining is smooth and prevents the outer fabric from clinging, so you won’t need additional slip layers. If you prefer extra smoothing, seamless undergarments work well under the tailored bodice. The fabric is substantial enough that undergarment lines aren’t typically visible.
Yes, we use the same botanical print design across all Alex Marie floral dresses in this style, ensuring consistency in the pattern and color palette. The placement of individual flowers may vary slightly depending on where the fabric is cut during production, making each dress subtly unique.
The print features the same rich color saturation and fade-resistant technology in every piece. If you’re ordering multiple sizes or replacing a well-loved dress, you can expect the same beautiful botanical design you’ve come to know.
Absolutely, the Alex Marie floral dress is an excellent candidate for tailoring. The princess seams make it easy for a tailor to adjust the bodice fit, and the hem can be shortened or lengthened without disrupting the design.
We’ve included matching thread with your purchase to give to your tailor for any alterations. The side seams can be taken in or let out slightly if needed, and the waist can be adjusted at the seams. Many customers have the dress tailored for a custom fit, and the quality construction holds up beautifully to alterations.
