* Sizes are UK sizes and expressed in CM. As a lot of my pieces are floaty in style and generous in sizing these size guides are just approximate average measurements as sizing can change depending on the style of the garment. Each garment depending on style may have different fits to the measurements above. You can add custom measurements above if you'd like more of a bespoke fit. FOR MY MADE TO ORDER PIECES I USE SIZES UK8-UK26 AS A GUIDE. I STOCK INDIVIDUAL SIZING FOR THESE PIECES AND I AM ABLE TO OFFER EXTENDED SIZING IF MY CURRENT SIZING DOESN'T CATER FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE IN-BETWEEN SIZES AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BESPOKE SIZE MADE UP PLEASE CONTACT ME BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.
Made here in Sapphire Blue. Step into the timeless allure of the Elizabethan era with my exquisite 100% cotton velvet Elizabeth dress, a regal ensemble that seamlessly blends historical opulence with contemporary elegance. This dress is a homage to the grandeur of the Elizabethan period, featuring a square neckline and intricately detailed lace that resonates with the sophistication of that bygone era.
The Elizabethan square neckline, accentuated by a delicate lace panel, imparts an ethereal touch, capturing the romance and refinement synonymous with the fashions of the time. The lace patterns tell a story of old-world charm, transporting you to the courts of queens and the elite circles of Elizabethan society.
The lace Elizabethan puff sleeves, an emblem of period fashion, cascade into fitted velvet sleeves with intricate lace detailing, evoking the aristocratic grace of the era. Each puff pays homage to the lavishness of Elizabethan attire, where garments served as a canvas for expressing nobility and stature.
The waistline, meeting in the middle in an upward design creates a flattering silhouette reminiscent of iconic Elizabethan styles. This upward design adds a touch of drama and sophistication, mirroring the grand gowns worn by noblewomen during this illustrious period.
Crafted from sumptuous cotton velvet, the fabric itself is a tribute to luxury and comfort, offering a tactile experience that complements the visual opulence of the design. The rich hues of the velvet enhance the regal ambiance, making this dress a statement piece for those who appreciate the timeless allure of historical fashion.
Wearing this Elizabethan-inspired dress is more than adorning a garment; it's an immersive journey into the grandeur of a bygone era. Let the lace and velvet transport you to a time of courtly elegance, where fashion was an art form, and every gown told a story of nobility and refinement.
This piece is handcrafted locally in Cheshire by an exceptionally skilled seamstress. It is made from 100% Cotton Velvet and Lace, and has a 100% Bamboo Silk Lining. It features an invisible zip opening at the centre back, with a keyhole neck fastening featuring 3 pearl buttons.
As with all my Made-to-Order pieces you can customise the fit of this piece if my measurements do not work for you. This particular piece is a very fitted design, so if you would like a roomier fit, then I would suggest to size up, or add in your bespoke measurements.
Please note that sizes above a UK14 will feature a seam down the centre front of the top due to the Velvet being very narrow.

OA Care Guide
OA Care Guide
As printed onto the care labels stitched into OA garments, I strongly recommend to dry clean your beautiful new additions. As these pieces are all handmade with love by an independent seamstress, in an ethical and sustainable way they are not processed with harmful chemicals and washed, and then rewashed like fast fashion brands.
If your piece has an alternative fabric - like a bright white collar on a purple dress then I would definitely advise to dry clean or spot clean to avoid colours bleeding into the collar. If a garment absolutely has to be washed then add 1 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle or one-half cup salt to the wash to help hold in colors. Use color-catcher sheets, which trap extraneous dyes during the wash cycle to prevent bleeding. Digital printed garments' colour does not usually run, however, the lining of the garment may run. Please do not scrub your pieces as this can cause damage to the surface.
When possible it is always kinder to steam garments rather than ironing them. Steaming removes creases by relaxing the fibres of the fabric. Ironing, on the other hand, uses the heat of the metal base and weight to compress the fibres. The compression of fibres over time can cause irreversible damage and shorten the life of the garment.
Care Advice for Corduroy and Needlecord Fabrics
I recommend to spot clean Corduroy when and as needed, I strongly recommend you to dry clean OA garments, but if a full wash is required here is some care advice;
If possible, a gentle hand wash would be best on a very low temperature. Do not scrub the fabric as this will destroy the pile. On high heat corduroy tends to shrink and the dye can run. I would advise where possible to only dry clean.
To revive the ‘pile’ (the textured fluffiness of the corduroy) I would recommend steaming the corduroy. This maintains the fluffiness of the corduroy. DO NOT iron corduroy on either side of the fabric – this flattens the texture and can damage it. The needlecord I have chosen works best with steaming and is the perfect weight to prevent too many creases.
