August Sky Floral Tiered Midi Dress
We designed this floral tiered midi dress for effortless movement and all-day comfort. The three-tier construction creates natural volume without added bulk, while the adjustable tie waist lets you customize the fit.
Each tier features hand-drawn botanical prints inspired by wildflower meadows in late summer. The mid-calf length works with sandals, sneakers, or ankle boots depending on the season. Our customers wear this dress for garden parties, weekend brunches, and casual office settings where dress codes allow relaxed silhouettes.

What the numbers mean
We chose 100% cotton voile for its airy hand-feel and natural drape. The fabric weighs 3.5 ounces per square yard, which gives structure without stiffness. Each tier is cut on the bias to maximize flow when you move.
The seams between tiers feature French finishing on the interior, so there are no raw edges against your skin. We reinforce the waist tie anchors with bar tacks rated for 50 wash cycles. The print is applied using reactive dyes that bond at the fiber level, which prevents fading better than surface pigments.
This dress runs true to our standard sizing chart. The bust and hip measurements are relaxed, with approximately 4 inches of ease built into each size. If you’re between sizes, we recommend choosing your usual size for a looser fit or sizing down if you prefer closer drape through the waist.
The adjustable tie system accommodates waist measurements within a 4-inch range per size. For example, size Medium fits waists from 28 to 32 inches comfortably. The shoulder seams sit slightly dropped for a relaxed sleeve line. The midi dress silhouette we use across our collection maintains the same proportional length regardless of size, so the hem consistently hits mid-calf.
Washing
Machine wash cold on delicate cycle with like colors. We recommend using a mesh laundry bag to protect the tie waist from tangling. Skip fabric softener, which can coat the cotton fibers and reduce breathability over time.
Drying & pressing
Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Remove promptly to minimize wrinkles. If ironing is needed, use medium heat on the reverse side while the fabric is slightly damp. Steam works well for refreshing the dress between washes.
Styling options throughout the year
In warmer months, wear this dress barefoot with flat sandals and a straw tote. The cotton voile stays cool even in humid conditions. For transitional weather, add a cropped denim jacket and ankle boots.
When temperatures drop, layer a fitted turtleneck underneath and finish with tall boots. The tiered silhouette accommodates layering without looking bulky. Swap the casual tie waist for a leather belt to shift the look toward evening occasions. We’ve seen customers style this dress for outdoor weddings, art gallery openings, and farmers market outings with equal success.
