Vintage textiles are sourced in small quantities and may contain subtle undertones ranging from soft ivory and natural cotton to warmer cream and antique tones. Customers seeking a bright white garment should purchase a style specifically listed as White. Vintage ivory and cream garments are intentionally produced using natural-toned textiles and should not be expected to match bright white bridal fabrics. Fabric: The Marlowe is crafted from true vintage fabric, which means that each piece carries its own subtle character. Your Marlowe will be cut from heirloom cotton lace in shades varying from cream to dark ivory with coordinating ruffle and fringe. You may notice minor inconsistencies or unique markings in the weave. This is part of the charm and story of working with reclaimed textiles. The print will also vary from dress to dress, making each one a little different and entirely yours. If you prefer a more consistent and predictable version of this dress check out our Marlowe Mini (White Edition) Fringe Shedding: The Marlowe is finished with a bound fine fringe trim that is double sewn into the garment. A small amount of initial shedding is normal and expected during the first wear and handling as loose fibers release from the fringe. This is not considered a defect and does not affect the integrity or longevity of the garment. Length: The Marlowe is a mini measuring about 23" total in length. If you’re taller or prefer a bit more coverage, you can opt to add 2 inches in length, just select the length option when ordering. How to Choose Your Size: For the Marlowe, we recommend sizing based on your hips. The corset-style top has 1–2 inches of adjustability thanks to the lace-up back, which gives you some flexibility through the bust and waist. Since the skirt is more fitted and has less give, your hip measurement will ensure the best overall fit. The open weave lace and the linen lining allow for movement in the dress, sometimes sizing down can ensure a more fitted look. The Marlowe Mini is crafted from an open-weave cotton lace with a soft linen lining, giving the garment more ease than a structured fabric. If you’re between sizes or prefer a more fitted look, we recommend sizing down one size for the best fit. Rush Orders: Enter your wedding date at checkout. If your timeline is under 10 weeks, the correct rush tier will be automatically added to keep everything on track. Alterations: Each Marlowe is made to order in standard sizing. Because every body is unique, minor tailoring may be recommended to achieve your ideal fit. If you’d like this gown made-to-measure for an additional fee, please inquire for custom pricing and availability.
