Fit & Measurements

Sheer Size Guide

Start with the garment. Compare the flat measurements on the product listing with a similar piece you own that fits well. Sheer Fit is an estimate based on those measurements, the cut and construction; it is separate from the tagged size.

How we measure

Measure a similar garment laid flat and gently smoothed, without pulling or stretching it. Compare like-for-like flat widths in inches. Follow any qualifications on the product listing.

How to measure a dress laid flatA dress outline with horizontal measurement lines at the bust, waist and hip, and a vertical length line. Measure a similar garment laid flat without pulling the fabric. BustWaistHipLength

Bust — across the garment from pit to pit.

Waist — across the fitted or narrowest waist. An empire seam sits above the natural waist and is noted where applicable.

Hip — across the fullest part of the hip; flowing skirts may be less fitted here.

Length — from shoulder or the stated top edge to hem. Follow the starting point in the listing, especially for strapless or adjustable pieces.

Flat widths are not doubled. A 17-inch flat bust is approximately 34 inches around the garment; this is not a guarantee of fit on a 34-inch body. Compare with a similar garment and read the fit notes.

Body size reference (optional)

These are approximate body measurements, not flat garment widths. Do not halve this chart to create garment measurements: wearing room, stretch, lining and cut vary by piece.

Details

A vintage Carolina Herrera evening dress featuring an asymmetric draped bodice paired with intricately embellished lace sleeves. Rendered in a soft champagne ivory tone, this piece is elevated by delicate sequins and beadwork throughout the lace, catching the light with subtle shimmer. A sculptural bow detail at the waist adds romantic movement, while the fluid skirt creates an elegant silhouette. A rare and beautifully constructed piece that feels equally suited for a modern bride, rehearsal dinner, or formal evening occasion. Could make a lovely courthouse wedding look as well!

Sheer Fit is an estimate based on garment measurements and construction. Compare the listed dimensions with a similar garment you own.

Condition

Very good vintage condition. One small spot on the fabric (shown in photos) consistent with age; does not detract from overall wearability or presentation. Beading intact with minor, expected vintage irregularities.

All Sheer Vintage pieces are secondhand and may show signs of age, previous wear, and storage consistent with vintage items.
