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

The Early Hours is rendered in soft ivory cotton, its fullness gathered into a wide, sweeping skirt that moves with a quiet, almost reverent weight. The bodice is adorned with three self-tied bows, placed with a kind of deliberate innocence—reminiscent of something once worn, once loved, and carefully kept. A fine lace trim softens the neckline, as though time itself had gentled its edges.

Though composed in bridal white, it does not speak of ceremony, but of what follows after—of still rooms, drawn light, and the hush that settles when everything has already been said. It belongs to the hour where devotion becomes private, where love is no longer performed, but endured.

Held together by memory as much as by thread, The Early Hours carries the feeling of something just past its moment—still beautiful, still worn, still held.
