The Adelheid lace gown features embroidered lace fabric, a scalloped neckline, short sleeves, and a fit-and-flare silhouette that falls to ankle length with a scalloped hem. A formal pick for black-tie weddings, galas, and anniversary occasions.

Fit & Feel:

• Runs large through the body and skirt — if you're between sizes, size down. Most customers find it roomier than expected below the bust.
• The bust and shoulders are the closest-fitting part of this gown. If you're fuller through the chest, stay with your usual size rather than sizing down.
• Check the length before you choose a size. This is a long gown — roughly 57½–60½" (146–153.5 cm) from shoulder to hem depending on size — and the scalloped lace hem can't be shortened.
• The scalloped high neckline sits close to the base of the throat and doesn't give.
• The short sleeves sit a little shorter than they may appear in photos.
• Embroidered lace with limited stretch — structured rather than flowy.

Garment Measurements For This Style

These are the finished measurements of the gown itself, not body measurements, so they will read larger than the Size Guide. Bust, waist and hip are taken all the way around the garment: bust level with the underarm, waist at the narrowest point, hips at the fullest part of the skirt.

How to use the length: it runs from the top of the shoulder to the lowest point of the scalloped hem. Measure from the top of your own shoulder straight down to the floor without shoes — if that number is larger than the length shown, the hem will sit above the floor. Note the length changes very little across the size range, so your height matters far more here than your size.
