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 Blood Oath Novella Dress carries a sense of quiet drama—something unfolding slowly, held in place rather than declared outright. There is a fullness to the silhouette that feels almost story-like, as though each movement reveals another layer, another detail, another moment suspended in time. The shape is deliberate, drawing the body inward before allowing the skirt to open and fall with a soft, controlled volume. Black lace traces through the piece like a shadow, subtle but unmistakable, lending a darker edge to what might otherwise feel romantic.

Set against a ground of deep, burnished red, the black roses of the Blood Oath print appear bold and unrelenting, their scale and contrast creating a sense of intensity that cannot be softened. There is something immersive in the way the pattern moves across the dress, as though it surrounds rather than simply adorns. The Novella Dress feels composed, but not gentle—a piece where romance is sharpened, held in place, and given a sense of permanence.
