Please check the size guide below and measure yourself to confirm the correct size for you. All size guides differ, so you should not choose your usual size without measuring!

Please note that your dress may come labelled with a numeric size. This is not an error, and the size will correspond to the lettered size chosen
If you are intending to wear your corset over a dress please take your measurements whilst wearing the intended garment and then compare to our size chart
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 Forbidden Fruit Age of Innocence Gown holds a quiet stillness—something suspended between girlhood and knowing, where softness is preserved, but no longer untouched. Its silhouette gathers and falls in gentle tiers, full without excess, creating a sense of presence that feels almost inward. There is a restraint to it, a composure that suggests not innocence alone, but something held carefully in place.

“I am tired of tears and laughter,

And men that laugh and weep.”

It is a feeling that lingers beneath the surface—where beauty remains, but the lightness of it has shifted.

Handmade

The print unfolds across a dark ground in tones of teal and burnt orange, its fruit-laden forms emerging with a richness that feels both ornamental and symbolic. There is a quiet tension within it, a suggestion of sweetness edged with something more knowing, more forbidden. Worn against the stillness of its setting, the effect becomes almost contemplative—a moment caught between youth and understanding, where beauty remains intact, but no longer untouched.
