Lavinia gown
A nod to the stars of the old Hollywood silver screen, our Lavinia gown enwraps the wearer in luxury and indulgence! Slip into the soft radiance of 100% silk satin, and let the cares of the world melt away. Perhaps a dry martini or a box of dark chocolates will complete your look...
This gown has become a staple for those seeking innerwear-as-outerwear options. The black silk is heavy enough to be worn out on the town, whether for a black tie or red carpet event! Its panels are bias-cut to gently skim over your curves, emphasizing all of your best features.
Our standard length is approximately floor length on a woman standing 5'6 tall (167.5cm), but the length will vary somewhat depending on how curvy your figure is. Contact us directly for custom lengths. Dry clean only. Made in England.

Additional notes:
- Bra size: Our bralettes are best suited to a B or C cup size, although many customers who wear A or D cups are also happy with the fit. If you wear a larger cup size than a D, you may be prefer our custom size options - contact us for details. (Additional charges apply.)
- Corset size: This is the actual corset measurement at the waist- your waist size should be several inches larger. For more detailed sizing information, see each corset's product page and description.
- If you fall in between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size (except for corsets), as lingerie and lounge wear should be fitted, but not overly constricting. You'll want a bit of ease for movement and sitting comfortably.
- Do you have questions about the proper size selections for your body or for a gift? View our blog post on gift advice, or contact us directly, and we'll assist you within 24 hours.
