* Sizes are UK sizes and expressed in CM. As a lot of my pieces are floaty in style and generous in sizing these size guides are just approximate average measurements as sizing can change depending on the style of the garment. Each garment depending on style may have different fits to the measurements above. You can add custom measurements above if you'd like more of a bespoke fit. FOR MY MADE TO ORDER PIECES I USE SIZES UK8-UK26 AS A GUIDE. I STOCK INDIVIDUAL SIZING FOR THESE PIECES AND I AM ABLE TO OFFER EXTENDED SIZING IF MY CURRENT SIZING DOESN'T CATER FOR YOU. IF YOU ARE IN-BETWEEN SIZES AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BESPOKE SIZE MADE UP PLEASE CONTACT ME BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.
Step into a world of enchantment and mystique with my Medieval-inspired Dance of the Dragons Dress, a true embodiment of Arthurian legends and the magic tales of dragons. This exquisite garment is a testament to the rich tapestry of folklore that weaves through the ancient woods of Alderley Edge, which is local to my studio in Cheshire.
Crafted in the finest royal blue and emerald green, these jewel-like colours echo the depths of the forest and the mysteries it holds. Flashes of arsenic green, white yellow and warm amber are embedded within the print that almost glow in the candlelight.
The structured sleeves, reminiscent of the billowing wings of a dragon in flight, are adorned with striking patterns that evoke the drama of the medieval. The inverted sweetheart neckline is regal, and the bodice is darted like armour, and pays homage to the chivalric ideals of King Arthur and his knights of the round table.
My Alderley Edge-inspired, and dragon-infused medieval dress is a timeless masterpiece that captures the essence of a bygone era, where folklore and magic intertwined in the heart of the forest. Wear it with pride and let the spirit of these enchanting tales guide your every step.
This piece is handcrafted locally in Cheshire by an exceptionally skilled seamstress. It is made from 100% Cotton, and has a 100% Bamboo Silk Lining. It features an invisible zip opening at the centre back of the dress. As with all my Made-to-Order pieces you can customise the fit of this dress if my measurements do not work for you.

OA Care Guide
OA Care Guide
As printed onto the care labels stitched into OA garments, I strongly recommend to dry clean your beautiful new additions. As these pieces are all handmade with love by an independent seamstress, in an ethical and sustainable way they are not processed with harmful chemicals and washed, and then rewashed like fast fashion brands.
If your piece has an alternative fabric - like a bright white collar on a purple dress then I would definitely advise to dry clean or spot clean to avoid colours bleeding into the collar. If a garment absolutely has to be washed then add 1 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle or one-half cup salt to the wash to help hold in colors. Use color-catcher sheets, which trap extraneous dyes during the wash cycle to prevent bleeding. Digital printed garments' colour does not usually run, however, the lining of the garment may run. Please do not scrub your pieces as this can cause damage to the surface.
When possible it is always kinder to steam garments rather than ironing them. Steaming removes creases by relaxing the fibres of the fabric. Ironing, on the other hand, uses the heat of the metal base and weight to compress the fibres. The compression of fibres over time can cause irreversible damage and shorten the life of the garment.
Care Advice for Corduroy and Needlecord Fabrics
I recommend to spot clean Corduroy when and as needed, I strongly recommend you to dry clean OA garments, but if a full wash is required here is some care advice;
If possible, a gentle hand wash would be best on a very low temperature. Do not scrub the fabric as this will destroy the pile. On high heat corduroy tends to shrink and the dye can run. I would advise where possible to only dry clean.
To revive the ‘pile’ (the textured fluffiness of the corduroy) I would recommend steaming the corduroy. This maintains the fluffiness of the corduroy. DO NOT iron corduroy on either side of the fabric – this flattens the texture and can damage it. The needlecord I have chosen works best with steaming and is the perfect weight to prevent too many creases.
