Velvet Mermaid Evening Dress with One Shoulder and Ruched Bodice

Measure your bust, waist, hips, hollow-to-floor, and height, then compare with our size chart on each product page. Always select based on your actual measurements — never your usual size. If a standard size doesn't work, a custom size option is available. If you prefer not to go custom, simply size up. Not sure about your size? Feel free to ask — we're happy to help!  Click here to select your category and get detailed sizing guidance.

This is one of the most common concerns we hear — and the good news is, it's completely manageable. Here's why you can order with confidence today:

• If you lose weight: A local tailor can easily take the dress in. This is one of the simplest and most common alterations — quick, affordable, and done everywhere.
• If you gain weight: No problem. Every gown we make includes a 3–5 cm seam allowance built into the fabric specifically for this reason, giving your tailor room to let the dress out comfortably.
• Want even more flexibility? Simply request a lace-up/corset back in your order comments. This style allows for a generous range of size adjustment with no tailoring needed at all — and it looks stunning.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! This is a question we're happy to help with, and there's truly no need to worry. Here's our guidance based on your gown style:

• A-line or Ball Gown styles: We recommend switching to an Empire silhouette — the high waist sits just below the bust and flows freely over the belly, keeping you comfortable and beautiful right up to delivery day.
• Mermaid or Trumpet styles: Please contact us with your current week of pregnancy, your current bust / waist / hip measurements, and your wedding date. Our experienced team will assess your measurements and project the right size for your wedding day — so you'll look and feel perfect when it matters most.

In addition, all of our gowns are crafted with a 3–5 cm seam allowance built into the fabric, giving a tailor room to let the dress out as needed. And if you'd like even more flexibility, simply request a lace-up/corset back in your order comments — this allows for a wide range of size adjustment with no tailoring required.
