US sizes are shown for reference. Measurements are body measurements, not garment measurements.
Choosing your size
Size by your natural waist. Our dresses are built on an internal corset, and the corset does the reducing — drawing the waist in by 4–7 cm (1.6–2.8 in) once closed. So the waist column is the one that decides. If your waist falls between two sizes, let your bust and hip measurements settle the direction — up or down, whichever they sit closer to.
How to measure
- Bust — measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level.
- Waist — measure around the narrowest part of your waist. This is the measurement to size by.
- Hip — measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level.
Tip: measure over your underwear rather than clothing, and keep the tape snug but not tight. Don’t hold your breath or pull the tape in — the corset is what shapes the waist, so an honest measurement gives you the better fit.
Putting it on
The Second Edition closes in two moves. Step into the dress; someone ties the interior waist band at your natural waist — it settles the corset and sets the line — and then the back zipper runs up easily over it. It asks for another pair of hands, and takes under a minute together. The first wear is the slowest; every wear after comes quicker.
