Product Insights
The Faded Tiered Minidress by Rip Curl is a 100% cotton, pre-shrunk dress with a garment-washed softness and fluid drape, priced at 65 CAD. Its tiered construction creates independent floating hems that bounce with movement, while the 25.5-inch length and adjustable straps produce a leg-lengthening line. The dress fits by bust (medium accommodates D cup) and adjustable straps minimize gaping, but careful washing is needed to limit potential 2–5% shrinkage.
