Black Pearl Muse Dress

• 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!
• If you are between sizes and unsure which to choose, then please contact us via the Instant Chat and we will help to advise
• 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

From July 24th: sizes 3X, 4X, 5X and 6X will be re-named as 1X, 2X, 3X and 4X respectively.  The measurements of these sizes have not changed.  Customers please note that if you ordered from us before this date, but your order has not yet been dispatched, then your item(s) may be labelled with our NEW sizing names and not the OLD size names you purchased.

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
