How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the standard UK women's dress size chart. This particular listing is for a UK size 8. It's recommended to check measurements if unsure.
What type of undergarments are best with the Bardot neckline?
A strapless bra or a bra with very fine, detachable straps is recommended to maintain the clean lines of the off-shoulder design.
Can the length of the dress be altered?
Yes, the maxi length can be altered by a professional seamstress to fit your specific height and preferred shoe height.
