Below are two different measurement charts
By examining both charts, you'll get the best possible help in finding the right clothing size.
If you find yourself on the edge or between sizes in the body measurements chart, pay extra careful attention to the garment measurements and consider what kind of fit you want in the garment. Jersey requires less ease than cotton garments, for example.
The Leiju dress comes in one size
The Leiju dress gives smaller sizes a relaxed oversized feel, while for larger sizes it fits comfortably loose. All measurements - from sleeve length to fit - depend on the wearer's size.
Note! Please check the dress measurements from the size chart, they tell you the product's actual size. The Leiju dress is optimal up to size L. Based on trial fitting, the dress felt too small for XL size.
The garment measurement chart shows what the actual garment measurements are.
The body measurement chart shows which of our clothing sizes your body measurements correspond to.
Measuring the garment is often easier than measuring the body. By using a measuring tape, you'll get a garment that fits just right for you!
MEASURING THE GARMENT:
- When choosing a size, take a well-fitting garment you already own and a measuring tape
- The material of the garment being measured should be similar to the one you're purchasing
- When measuring, place the garment on a table, measure the corresponding dimensions as shown in the chart, and compare
- Bust circumference is measured at the fullest part of the bust over the breasts and across the shoulder blades on the back. Take a firm measurement while wearing a bra.
- Waist measurement is taken below the ribcage, approximately 5 cm above the navel.
- Hip measurement is taken with feet together at the widest part of the hips.
- Free deliveries within the EU for orders over €250.
- In stock, ready to ship
VirQ Leiju Dress – Summer One-Size Delight in Cotton
The dress gets its name from how it feels when worn - it simply floats (to float = leijua) around the body! Leiju dress is made from 100% cotton and is a one-size dress that fits optimally up to size L.
Two Materials, One Beautiful Combitanion
The dress combines two different cotton materials: the upper part is made from soft 100% cotton jersey that stretches and feels pleasant against the skin. The skirt is luxuriously light 100% cotton satin that creates a wonderfully airy feeling. The rectangular-shaped skirt is gathered at the waist and drapes beautifully.
Leiju's cotton jersey upper part is flexible and comfortable, while the lightweight cotton lower part flows beautifully.
One Size, Many Styles
Leiju dress gives smaller sizes a relaxed oversized feel, while for larger sizes it fits comfortably loose. All measurements - both sleeve length and fit - depend on the wearer's size.
Note! Please check the dress measurements from the size chart, they tell you the product's actual size. Based on fitting tests, the dress was too small for an XL size.
Thoughtfully Designed Details
The V-neckline works beautifully for all sizes of users for whom the dress is designed - it's not too large. Relaxed batwing sleeves extend to the elbow (or are ¾ length, depending on the wearer's size) and are airily wide. The horizontal seam is located above the waist, roughly at chest level. This dress also has practical side seam pockets.

Leiju mekossa on yhdistetty kaksi erilaista puuvillaa: puuvillatrikoo (neulos) ja puuvillasatiini (kangas).
Yläosa on joustavasta puuvillatrikooneuloksesta ja helma hulmuavasta puuvillasatiinikankaasta.
Laadukas puuvillatrikoo:
Trikoo on laadukasta, napakkaa ja miellyttävän tuntuista. Huolellinen ompelutyö varmistaa, ettei saumat kierry pesun jälkeen.
Neuloksen koostumus ja sertifikaatti:
- 100 % puuvillaa
- Neliöpaino: 180 g
- Öko-Tex -sertifikaatti takaa haitta-aineettomuuden
Laadukas puuvillasatiini:
Puuvillasatiini on 100 % pehmeää ja ylellistä puuvillaa satiinisidoksella.
Kankaan koostumus ja sertifikaatti:
- 100 % puuvillaa
- Satiinisidos
- Neliöpaino: 130 g
- Öko-Tex -sertifikaatti takaa haitta-aineettomuuden
Vaatteen pesuohjeet:
- Pesu 40°C
- Kutistuminen max 5 %
- Noudata ohjelämpötilaa
- Pese väljässä koneellisessa, nurinpäin samanväristen kanssa
- Kuosittele kosteana ja suositeltavaa kuivata henkarilla
Kuosittelu tarkoittaa vaatteen muotoilemista kosteana, mikä auttaa säilyttämään sen koon ja muodon. Jos 5 % kutistuminen ei haittaa, kuosittelua ei tarvitse tehdä. Silitys säilyttää kankaan (helmaosa) kiillon, mutta koko vaate on myös helppo suoristaa suihkuttamalla vettä sumutinpullolla.
Noudata aina pesuohjeissa kerrottua lämpötilaa optimoidaksesi vaatteen ulkonäön ja käyttöiän.
