Made for homecoming, semi-formal and birthday parties. Short — above the knee. An A-line: fitted at the bodice, opening softly from the waist.

Details
  • Available in Apricot.
  • Sizes S, M, L, XL.

Your size, before you order

Sizes here follow the maker's chart, which is cut closer than a US label. The safest check takes two minutes: measure a dress you already own — flat, across the bust, the waist and the hip — and compare. Between two sizes, take the larger one: a formal dress is easy to take in and hard to let out.

Not sure? Send us your bust, waist and hip in inches at support@elsieaugust.com and we reply with the size, in one business day, before you spend anything.

Care

Dry clean. Steam on low and keep the head moving — never press directly on beading or sequins. Hang it on a padded hanger the day it arrives so the creases from the parcel drop out on their own.

Shipping

6 to 10 business days, tracked from dispatch. For a dated event, order three weeks ahead so there is room for a try-on and a hem. 14-day returns, unworn with tags.

Fit

Get the size right the first time

Our sizes follow the maker’s chart, which is cut closer than a US label. The letter on the tag is not the letter you wear at home — so do not order on it alone.

  • 01Take a dress you already own and like the fit of. Lay it flat and measure across the bust, the waist and the hip, then double each figure.
  • 02Compare with your own measurements taken over the underwear you plan to wear on the night.
  • 03Between two sizes, take the larger one. A formal dress is easy to take in and hard to let out.
  • 04Still unsure? Send us your bust, waist and hip in inches. We answer with a size within one business day — before you spend anything.

Color

What a screen does to satin

Satin reads lighter under a flash than it does in daylight, and every phone corrects color its own way. Burgundy can photograph plum; champagne can photograph gold.

So we name each shade plainly rather than inventing a name for it, and we photograph it as it comes. If the color that arrives is not the one you expected, it goes back within 14 days — that is the whole point of the window.

Timing

Count backwards from the date

The shipping window is 6 to 10 business days, tracked from dispatch. Everything else is the part people forget: the try-on, and the tailor.

01Order three weeks out. February is the calm month before prom season peaks in March.
021 to 2 business days to prepare and check the dress before it leaves.
035 to 8 business days in transit, with a tracking number by email.
04Keep a week in hand for a hem or a nip at the waist.

Care

Out of the box, into the evening

A ceremony dress travels folded. Four steps and the parcel stops showing.

01Hang it on a padded hanger the day it arrives. Most creases drop out on their own overnight.
02Steam on low, head moving. Never press directly on beading or sequins.
03Spot clean a mark with cold water and a white cloth — no rubbing.
04Dry clean after the event, then store it away from direct light.
