Please see further guidance below size chart for how to measure

Sizes are listed in inches

Please see guidance below for how to take your measurements:

Bust

The bust should be measured across the top of the bust cups, at the widest point. Please stand tall and ensure the tape measure is level
Take your bust measurement while wearing an unpadded bra
Remember that the bust is a 'squishy' area. You should measure your bust as tightly as you require the dress to fit. The biggest mistake we see is customer's measuring their bust too loosely!
DO NOT measure underneath the bust. The bust measurement is across the top of your bust cups
Your bust measurement is NOT the same as your bra size. So if you wear a 34C bra, then your bust measurement is not 34 inches

Waist

Take your waist measurement at the narrowest point of the torso, usually an inch or so above the belly button
Our dresses have waist seams which hit at varying heights of the torso. Your dress will already have been adapted to suit this. For example, a high waist seam will be cut larger to fit a wider point of your torso. Do not guess about where our waist seams will fit, only measure at the point described above
You may take the waist measurement firmly but not overly tight to facilitate breathing
Try to ensure the waist measurement is level

Hips

We do not require your hip measurement as the skirts of our dresses are cut wide, therefore the hip measurement is not important

Lengths

The lengths of our dresses are graded according to dress size
Our gown length is 60.5-62.5 inches
Our midi length is 46.5-48.5 inches
Our mini length varies depending on the style. Most minis are 33.5-35.5 inches, however please check with us for specifics
REMEMBER that dresses made from different fabrics will vary in the worn length. For example, a heavy sequin gown will appear longer than a light organza gown due to the way the fabric falls

A limited selection remains, with pieces entering their final sizes - up to 50% off for a short time.

The Annabel Lee Corsair Gown is a piece of pure romantic excess—layered, gathered, and shaped with a devotion that feels almost obsessive in its detail. The silhouette rises with a sculpted bodice before falling into tiers of ruffled volume, each layer edged in lace and building upon the last, creating a sense of fullness that feels both deliberate and unrestrained. There is something distinctly historical in its presence, a form that recalls another time, yet feels entirely its own. Bows and ties trace across the gown in quiet repetition, each one adding to the sense that nothing here has been left untouched.

“But we loved with a love that was more than love—

I and my Annabel Lee—”

It is a sentiment that lingers within the piece itself—something unwavering, something that does not diminish with time.

Handmade

The Annabel Lee print moves across the gown in pale contrast, where deep red roses bloom against a white ground, their beauty shadowed rather than sweetened. There is a richness to the composition that feels immersive, amplified by the scale of the silhouette and the layering of the fabric. Worn at full volume, the Corsair Gown becomes something enveloping—less a dress, and more a presence. Romantic, but not gentle; ornate, but never without weight. A piece shaped by devotion, and defined by what refuses to be undone.
