Faye Blush Promise Maternity Baby Shower Dress

• Folded off-the-shoulder mesh band
• Sheer ruffled streamer behind each arm
• Side ruching across the bump
• Draped open back with a fine strap
• Lined, close-fitting maxi with a small mermaid flare
• Matte mesh in a light, cool baby pink

The mesh is fine and soft, in a light baby pink with a cool, fresh tone, much softer than hot pink. Matte on the surface, it shows a soft sheen wherever the light falls, and the maker lists the mesh as high-stretch. The body is lined and not sheer, while the outer mesh runs a little longer than the lining and finishes the hem with a slim sheer edge only one layer thick. The folded band is doubled mesh with a semi-sheer edge; the draped back and both ruffled streamers are one sheer layer. With no waist seam, the mesh traces the bust and bump in one smooth line, and ruching along the side seams draws soft diagonal folds across the bump.

Available in S, M, L and XL. The size chart on this page lists garment measurements for bust, waist and length, with inches first, then centimeters. Garment measurements are not body measurements, and the maker lists this fabric as high stretch, so compare them with a stretchy dress that fits you well.

How do I choose my size?

Compare the garment measurements in the size chart on this page with a stretchy dress that fits you well, since the maker lists this fabric as high stretch; it lists bust, waist and length. Length runs from 50.4 in / 128 cm in S to 51.6 in / 131 cm in XL, and your height changes where the hem lands. Inches appear first, then centimeters.

Where does the hem fall, and will it drag on the floor?

In our photos it stops at the ankle, just clear of the floor: the dress follows you closely from the bust to around the knee before easing out into a small mermaid flare. The outer mesh is a little longer than the lining, so the very bottom of the hem is a slim edge of single-layer sheer mesh; the front view and the chest-down view in the studio photos show it, as does the mermaid hem close-up in the material guide. Your height will change where it falls on you, so check the length for your size in the size chart on this page.

What are the neckline, streamers and open back like?

A wide folded band of mesh runs straight across your chest and rests on both upper arms, leaving both shoulders bare; the dress has no separate sleeves. From the back of each upper arm hangs a sheer streamer with a wavy ruffled edge, long enough to fall below the knee and light enough to lift as you walk. Across the upper back runs a fine strap with a small slider, and below it one sheer layer of mesh drapes in soft arcs over a back left open to about the waist, flowing into the streamers at each side. In the studio photos, the front close-up and the back view show these details, and the material guide zooms in on the folded band and a streamer.

Is the mesh see-through, and how does it look up close?

Not over the body: there the mesh is backed by a lining, while the draped back, the streamers and the slim edge at the hem are single sheer layers, so your back shows softly through the drape. Up close, the mesh looks fine and soft, in a light, cool-toned baby pink with a matte finish and a soft sheen, and the maker lists it as high-stretch. For a closer look at the mesh and the side ruching, see the greenhouse photo where she reaches for the geraniums.
