Helena Mandarin Collar Puff Sleeves Tiered Floral Midi Dress (Orange)

The top half is pale — is it see-through?

No. It's fully lined and the fabric is non-sheer, so the lighter bodice won't show through, even in bright daylight.

Can I breastfeed in it?

Yes. The front buttons are functional, not decorative — undo a few and you can nurse discreetly without lifting or pulling the whole dress. It also means you can step in and out of it easily.

Will the puff sleeves make my arms look bigger?

They do add some volume at the shoulder — that's what balances the fuller tiered hem and makes the waist look smaller in between. If you'd rather keep your shoulders streamlined, this one may not be your favourite.

How does it fit?

Relaxed through the waist — the belt does the shaping, so you can tie it snug or leave it loose. The fabric doesn't stretch, so your bust is the measurement that decides your size. Between sizes, go up.

How long is it?

43–44" (108–111cm) from the top of the shoulder to the hem. Our model is 158cm and wears the S — on her it falls to mid-calf.

What do I wear it with?

For work, flat mules and a structured tote. For weekends, sandals and a straw bag. For Raya visits, a family lunch, or a wedding, low heels and pearl earrings, with the belt tied into a soft bow.

How do I keep it looking new?

Hand wash or use a gentle cycle in cool water — viscose blends can tighten slightly if washed hot or tumble dried, so skip the dryer. Don't wring it; hang it to dry out of direct sunlight. A light press on low heat, on the reverse, while it's still a little damp is all it needs.

Not sure which size? Start here.

The waist is relaxed and the belt does the shaping, so size by your bust. Between sizes, size up.
