EDITORS NOTE

Boreal Evening — drawn, not sized

Embla laces closed at the back — a blush cord through soft fabric loops, drawn to you rather than cut to a number.

Below the curved seam the chiffon falls full and loose to the floor. The scarf lifts away when you want the neckline bare.

SIZE & FIT

  • Fit: Slim through the bodice, full and loose from the hip
  • Length: Maxi — about 49.5in from the top edge
  • Sizing: Go by your bust — it's strapless, and the fabric doesn't give
Size chartSee the measurements of the piece, size by size
Go by your bust. It's strapless, and the fabric doesn't stretch. Between two sizes, take the larger.

The fit

Slim. Close through the bodice. Full from the hip down.

The lace-up back takes in a little. Not a size.

These are the dress, not your body. Compare them to a fitted dress you own. Leave room at the bust.
Sizes can be off by about 1in. Every piece is sewn by hand.

Length

About 49.5in from the top edge down to the hem.

Only 1.5in separates S from 2XL. Your height sets where it falls.

How to measure

Lay a fitted dress you own flat and compare.

  1. A · Bust — Across the top edge, then double it.
  2. B · Waist — Across the narrowest point, then double it.
  3. C · Length — From the top edge down to the hem.

MATERIALS

  • Bodice: smooth and seamed, cut to a long asymmetric curve across the hip
  • Back: corset lacing — a blush cord through soft knotted fabric loops, no hardware
  • Skirt: chiffon, densely gathered, floor length, with one high slit on one side
  • Scarf: separate and narrow, tied at the throat, comes off

CARE

  • Dry clean is the safest route
  • If washing at home, cold hand wash alone and never wring the chiffon
  • Line dry in the shade, away from direct heat
  • Cool iron on the reverse, or steam the skirt on the hanger
  • Store on a hanger so the skirt keeps its fall
