The Dress
Chapter Two
The Lady-in-Waiting Gown
She didn’t ask for it.
She didn’t want it.
But when they brought it to her… folded, heavy, cold from the stones… she didn’t flinch.
The gown wasn’t a reward.
It was a warning.
The role that came with it had killed every girl before her.
But she put it on anyway.
And when they told her to bow, she looked them in the eye instead.

Sizing Chart
This gown features structured boning through the bodice to create its sculpted, corseted silhouette. Because of this, the fit is intentionally supportive and may feel more structured than everyday garments.
If you have mobility concerns or prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up for added comfort.
For proper wear and to preserve the integrity of the garment, the back lacing should be fully loosened before stepping in or out of the gown. Please avoid pulling the dress on or off while tightened, as this can strain the seams and boning.
This piece is designed to shape and support — allow yourself the time to lace and adjust it properly for the most comfortable experience.
