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

Vintage custom 1990s Vera Wang Gold Label wedding gown in a luminous ivory silk. This piece features an ultra-flattering structured corset bodice with lace-up back, optional cups, and a softly sculpted drop waist that opens into a full, dramatic skirt. The neckline is finished with a sheer illusion panel, giving a clean, modern contrast to the romantic volume of the skirt. Includes the original hand-drawn design sketches, multiple custom matching veils, an optional long detachable train (not shown), and original garment bag. An incredibly rare archival bridal set and a true keepsake piece.

Material: Silk (with illusion tulle panel)

Condition · 6.5/10

6.5/10
Professionally restored over several months with extensive dry cleaning and repairs. A trim was added to the hem to address prior damage while preserving length (can be rehemmed and removed for a shorter bride). Some residual staining remains: a yellow mark at the front hem and faint marks along the back of the skirt, as shown and one small hole at back train. These are largely minimized by the volume and would be fully concealed when worn with the detachable train. Wear and discoloration to the buttons at the back and a small mark at top of bust and inner lining. Not very visible when worn. Minor other signs of wear consistent with age all shown in photos.

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