Quick answer

Use your bust and hip measurements to choose the Sedona dress size, relying on its soft stretch fit for a snug but comfortable silhouette.

Why size up or down?

The Sedona dress is a long black jersey dress with a soft stretch fit and floor-length silhouette. The jersey fabric gives some give, but the fit is meant to be fitted, not loose. If you prefer a relaxed look, consider one size up from your usual. If you want a body-hugging fit, stick with your standard size.

The dress also features a small peep hole detail at the back finished with delicate deadstock bow trim. This detail sits close to the body, so sizing up too much may cause the bow trim to sit off-center or gape. For the best look, choose a size that keeps the back detail flush against your skin.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure myself for the Sedona dress?

Use a soft measuring tape. For bust, measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight. For hips, measure around the widest part of your hips. Compare your measurements to the size chart provided on the product page. Since the dress has a soft stretch fit, you can choose the size closest to your measurements.

What if I am between sizes?

If your measurements fall between two sizes, consider your preferred fit. For a snug, body-hugging look, choose the smaller size. For a slightly relaxed fit, choose the larger size. The jersey fabric has some stretch, so both options will work, but the back peep hole detail will sit best with the smaller size. For the best fit of the back bow trim, size down if you are between sizes and want a snug fit.

Does the dress shrink after washing?

The dress is made from jersey fabric and sourced in London. To minimize shrinkage, wash it cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Avoid high heat in the dryer. If shrinkage occurs, it may affect the floor-length silhouette, so choose a size that accounts for potential slight shrinkage if you are at the top of a size range. Wash cold and hang dry to preserve the dress's length and fit.

Can I wear the Sedona dress if I am tall?

The dress has a floor-length silhouette. For taller individuals (above 5'9" or 175 cm), the hem may not reach the floor. The stretch fabric will hug your body, so the length may be slightly shorter. If you are tall and want the floor-length look, consider sizing up for a bit more length, but note that the back detail may not sit as precisely.

What if the dress is too long?

If the dress is too long, you can hem it. The jersey fabric is easy to work with for a tailor. Alternatively, wearing heels can help adjust the length for the floor-length look. Sizing down may also shorten the dress slightly, but it will also make the fit more snug.
