Zinnia Blush Promise Maternity Baby Shower Dress

• One-shoulder neckline gathered at the left shoulder
• Ruffled streamer falling front and back
• Ruched side seams over the bump
• Open upper back with one thin strap
• Fitted, lined column skirt to the ankle
• Matte fine mesh in light baby pink

A fine, soft mesh in a solid light baby pink that reads clean and gentle: clearly pink, with no peach or nude in it, and far paler than hot pink or coral. Its matte surface takes on a gentle sheen in the light, and the maker lists the mesh as high-stretch. Over the body the mesh is layered over a lining, so it is not sheer there, but the lining stops just short of the hem, leaving a narrow sheer edge of single-layer mesh along the bottom. The streamer is a single semi-sheer layer with continuous wavy ruffles along its edges, and the remaining shaping comes from the gathers at the left shoulder and the ruching at the side seams.

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.

How long is the dress, and does it touch the floor?

No, it ends at the ankle in our photos: the fitted skirt drops straight down without flaring or pooling on the floor, and there is no slit. Because the lining stops a little above the hem, the last narrow band at the bottom is a single sheer layer of mesh, which you can see in the front and side views. Where the hem lands depends on your height, so check the length for your size in the size chart on this page.

What do the neckline, streamer and back look like?

The neckline crosses on a diagonal from under your right arm to your left shoulder, which is gathered into a small cluster with fine pleats fanning down across the bust, leaving your right shoulder and arm bare and the dress sleeveless. A ruffled streamer falls from the gathered shoulder, one length in front and one behind, and hangs free of the skirt so it can drift as you walk. The back has a straight top edge at about underarm height with the upper back bare, crossed by one thin strap from the left shoulder to the right side. The neckline close-up and the back view in the photos show these details, and the material guide has close-ups of the gathered shoulder and the streamer.

What is the mesh like, and is it see-through?

It is a fine, soft mesh in solid light pink, matte with a gentle sheen in the light, and the maker lists it as high-stretch. It is not sheer over the body, where the mesh is layered over a lining; the lining ends a little above the hem, so the bottom edge is a narrow band of single-layer sheer mesh, and the streamer is one semi-sheer layer. See the three-quarter view touching hydrangeas in the greenhouse in the photos and the fine mesh close-up in the material guide.
