Sometimes our favourite items sell out in the blink of an eye! When an item is sold out it is, unfortunately, impossible to know whether or not we will receive it again. We've added a "notify me" section in some of our product pages that could be coming back in stock. You can leave your email and if the product comes back in stock, we will send you an email to let you know.
Finding the perfect size is sometimes a challenge when we’re shopping online, but don’t you worry!
We’ve done all the work in order to make finding your size as painless as possible (ensuring your new item fits you like a glove). The measurements for each size of every item are carefully taken to guide you in your search. All you have to do is take your measurements (around your bust, waist, and hips) with the help of a measuring tape and compare them with the measurements of the item you’re interested in (found under the size chart button in the product page). Keep in mind that the waist measurement is often the most important since most of our dresses are form-fitting and have little stretch (unless directed otherwise).
If you have the slightest doubt, please do not hesitate to contact us via online chat or email :)
We always strive to offer a full range of sizes, encouraging women of all shapes and sizes to dress up and dress well. We believe beauty comes from uniqueness, confidence, and elegance!
To explore our Plus Size options, just visit our Plus Size collection or use the filters to the left of your screen to guide your search in other collections.
The care instructions for each item are listed on the product page under the tab Details and then next to Composition. In order to take proper care of your item, we recommend you follow the instructions that can be found on its’ tag. If “Dry clean only” is listed, it’s because that is the best method to care for it. If the item contains leather, we recommend you refer your questions to a leather specialist.
