Constance is a halter neck midi cut from embroidered nylon, with a fitted empire bodice, double-lined for confidence, and a softly flared skirt finished in lace-trimmed hem. The empire bodice is structured and fitted right under the bust. For the most flattering fit through the rib cage and halter, choose your size by bust rather than your usual dress size — look for the size below with a garment bust about 1½–2" (4–5 cm) larger than your own bust measurement, so the band sits where it's meant to. The skirt falls to mid-calf on a 5'9" frame, and because of the lace hem trim it can't be shortened. Garment Measurements — This Style These are the finished measurements of the dress itself, not body measurements, so they will read larger than the Size Guide. Compare them to your own body measurements and allow a little room.
