The piece
A night sky, cut as a gown.
Glitter tulle, a halter neck, and capes that trail from the shoulders.
Some gowns are dresses and some are entrances. This is the second kind: black tulle scattered with glitter, a halter tied high at the neck, a back left open, and long capes of tulle that lift behind you with every step.
The capes
Long panels of tulle from the shoulders, trailing behind the skirt.
The glitter
Scattered through the tulle so it reads as starlight, not rows of sequins.
The slit
Cut high at the front, opening the skirt as you walk.

Body measurements in centimetres, not garment measurements, with the maker's UK equivalents. The gown is cut from these numbers, so choose by your bust and take the larger size if you fall between two.
Good to know
Made to order
Cut for you once the order is placed, so allow longer than a gown held in stock.
The length
The last column is measured from the base of the throat to the floor barefoot, and the skirt sweeps behind that.
The colour
Black, as in the photographs. The maker's default for this style is ivory, so the black is set by the order.

Anything else, and a person answers. The full list is on the FAQ page.
How long does delivery take?
Estimated delivery is 10 to 25 working days after your order has been processed and dispatched. Tracking information usually becomes available within 5 to 10 working days of the order being confirmed, and we email the number the moment it does.
Can I return it if it is not right?
Yes. You have 14 days from receiving the goods to tell us you want to cancel and return an eligible purchase. Send the piece back in the condition you received it, with its packaging and labels where possible, and we refund to the original payment method. Some items are excluded where the law allows it.

Write to us with your order number and a photograph of the problem. We arrange a replacement, a repair or a refund, whichever fits the case, at no cost to you. Your statutory rights are not affected.
How do I choose my size?
The size guide above this section lists body measurements, not garment measurements. Between two sizes, take the larger one for tailoring and the smaller one for knitwear — or email us the size you take in a brand you already own and we will tell you which one to order.
