How do I find my correct size in S.L. Fashions dresses? What's the difference between Petite and Regular sizes?
Measure your bust, waist, and hips, then use our size chart. Plus sizes are cut for a curvier fit. Petite sizes are 2” shorter from high point shoulder to waist and 2” shorter in length from waist to bottom hem - 4” shorter overall vs. regular sizes.
Will this dress need alterations, and how does the length run?
Most styles are designed for 5'5"–5'9". Petite styles are cut for 5'4" and under. Long gowns may need hemming for shorter heights. We recommend a local tailor for a perfect fit before your event.
Can I machine wash this dress, or does it require dry cleaning?
Many gowns are machine washable (in a delicates laundry bag), as dry cleaning chemicals can damage intricate details. Note that excessive heat might damage sequins too. Spot clean lightly soiled areas. Check the label for specific care instructions.
What events can I wear S.L. Fashions dresses to?
S.L. Fashions dresses are ideal for weddings (mother of the bride/groom or wedding guest), formal events, galas, evening occassions, and special celebrations.
Does it have a lining or a built-in bra?
Many S.L. Fashions dresses are designed with built-in double liners. Review the dress description - our dresses are often bra-friendly with built in cups or straps that will hide undergarments.
