August Sky Women’s Wavy Ribbon Tiered Midi Dress
Our Wavy Ribbon Tiered Midi Dress was designed for women who want elegance without sacrificing ease. The tiered silhouette creates natural movement with every step, while subtle ribbon accents at the waist and neckline add refined detail. We built this dress in a breathable woven fabric that drapes beautifully and holds its shape through a full day.
Whether you’re heading to a garden party, a weekend brunch, or an evening event, this midi transitions seamlessly. The mid-calf length flatters every height, and the relaxed fit through the bodice ensures all-day comfort. Pair it with sandals for a casual look or dress it up with heels and a clutch.

What the numbers mean
We chose a midweight woven blend that balances structure with drape. The polyester-cotton composition resists wrinkling during travel and holds its shape through repeated wear. Each tier is cut on the bias to maximize movement, so the skirt flows naturally rather than hanging stiffly.
The wavy ribbon trim is stitched flat along the waistline seam and neckline edge, preventing bunching or slipping. We reinforced the side zipper with a hidden placket and added a top hook-and-eye closure for security. French seams finish all interior edges, so there are no raw threads to irritate skin or fray over time.
This dress runs true to size with a relaxed fit through the bust and shoulders. The waist sits slightly above your natural waistline, then releases into the first tier for a flattering A-line shape. We recommend ordering your usual size for a comfortable, non-clingy fit.
If you’re between sizes or prefer a more tailored look through the bodice, size down one increment. The tiered skirt provides ample room through the hips regardless of sizing. Length from shoulder to hem measures approximately 48 inches in size Medium, hitting most wearers at mid-calf.
The August Sky women’s wavy ribbon tiered midi dress adapts to nearly every occasion in your calendar. For daytime events, we pair it with leather sandals and a crossbody bag. The neutral ribbon detail complements both gold and silver jewelry, so you can accessorize without overthinking.
Transition to evening by swapping in block heels and a structured clutch. The midi length balances coverage with elegance, making it appropriate for weddings, rehearsal dinners, and cocktail parties. Layer a fitted blazer or denim jacket over the top when temperatures drop. The same tiered construction that defines the August Sky aesthetic shows up across our midi dresses, each offering a different take on relaxed, feminine style.
Care & maintenance
Washing
Machine wash cold on the gentle cycle with like colors. Turn the dress inside out to protect the ribbon trim and exterior fabric surface. Use a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener, which can degrade the woven fibers over time.
Drying & pressing
Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Remove promptly to minimize wrinkles. If pressing is needed, use a medium-heat iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid ironing directly over the ribbon trim, as high heat can cause synthetic ribbon to flatten or melt. Hang the dress on a padded hanger between wears to maintain the shape of the tiers.

What the crews say
Common questions about the Wavy Ribbon Tiered Midi Dress
No, the woven fabric is fully opaque. The polyester-cotton blend has enough weight to provide coverage without requiring a slip. We tested it under bright lighting and against direct sun—there’s no transparency in any color option.
Yes, the breathable woven fabric allows airflow while maintaining structure. The relaxed bodice doesn’t cling to skin, and the tiered skirt creates space for ventilation. Many customers wear it comfortably in summer heat, especially for outdoor events.
No special care is needed beyond turning the dress inside out before washing. The ribbon is stitched flat and secured at both ends, so it won’t fray or come loose in the machine. We recommend cold water on gentle cycle and air drying to preserve the trim’s appearance over time.
A standard bra works well due to the relaxed bodice fit. If you prefer additional smoothing, a slip or shapewear shorts can be worn underneath without adding bulk. The side zipper lies flat, so there’s no visible hardware line under fitted undergarments.
Roll the dress rather than folding it to minimize creases. When you arrive, hang it in the bathroom while you shower—the steam will release minor wrinkles. For stubborn creases, use a steamer or iron on medium heat from the inside. The fabric bounces back quickly after light pressing.
Yes, a tailor can shorten the dress by removing one or more tiers if needed. Because each tier is constructed separately, alterations are straightforward. We recommend bringing the dress to a professional who can maintain the proportions of the ribbon trim and waistline seam.
The ribbon is sewn flat along the waistline seam—it’s a decorative accent, not a functional tie. This design keeps the waist definition consistent and prevents the need to retie or adjust throughout the day. The fit is determined by the dress size you order, not by tying the ribbon.
