Do I need a bra for my dress?
Our backless dresses have bra cups sewn in, so a bra is unnecessary. Woohoo!

Is the dress see-through?
No, our dresses are all lined. We use the nude color on some samples; that is the color. The dress is not sheer.

What is the standard size?
A standard-sized dress is made to our standard sizing on our chart. If your measurements align with a size 8, you would order a size 8.
