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 Chapel of Thorns Guileless Gown is a study in beauty that does not come without consequence—soft in form, yet edged with something far less forgiving. Its silhouette gathers and falls in sweeping, ruffled layers, expansive and light, creating a sense of presence that feels almost reverent. There is a stillness to it, as though the gown exists within its own quiet ritual—something delicate, but not untouched, where innocence is held alongside something that lingers beneath it.

“He loved her as one loves certain dark things—

secretly, between the shadow and the soul.”

— Pablo Neruda

The words settle into the piece like something remembered—devotion that leaves its mark, beauty that does not pass without altering what it touches.

The Chapel of Thorns print unfolds across a pale ground in dense, shadowed roses of black and deep green, their forms entwined and immersive, evoking something both ornamental and forbidding. Framed by a dark lace neckline and carried through its full, trailing silhouette, the gown feels almost ceremonial—like something worn not just for a moment, but for what it signifies. There is a tension throughout, where softness meets resistance, and where what appears fragile is, in truth, something far more enduring.
