PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING:
Color Expectations
South of West does not guarantee an exact color match between separate garments, production runs, or photographed samples. Vintage textiles are sourced in small quantities from varying origins 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 Marlow is crafted from true vintage fabric, which means that each piece carries its own subtle character. Your Marlowe will be cut from heirloom crochet 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 slightly 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)
Length:
The Marlow is definitely 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.
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.
Customizations: If you would like different fabric options email me at [email protected] for customization options. Please note there might be additional charges for certain fabrics.
