The overlay is where the colour happens. Acler printed the georgette to its pattern pieces and let it fall over a chiffon dress, so the emerald moves when you do and the two layers never quite settle into one.

Both are viscose. The dress underneath is sheer, so it comes with its own long slip and no sewn-in lining: how much of the chiffon shows is up to you. A trim of rhinestones and sequins sits at the neck of the overlay, fastened at the back with one self-covered button. The ombre deepens toward the floor.

Chiffon wants a still evening, the hour after the wind has dropped. On an open lawn in a stiff breeze off the water, every layer of it will be in the air.

Acler is an Adelaide label and cuts in Australian sizes, which are the same as UK sizes, so the number on the label is your Australian size. An Acler 8 is an AU and UK 8, a US 4 and an Italian 40. The measurements below are the house's own, in centimetres, taken from the body rather than the garment.

Size chart

AU / UK	US	Italy	Bust	Waist	Hip
6	2	38	81.5	64.5	91.5
8	4	40	84	67	94
10	6	42	89	72	99
12	8	44	94	77	104
14	10	46	99	82	109
16	12	48	104	87	114

Measurements in centimetres. Body measurements, not garment measurements. The house treats its chart as a general guide and notes that some styles fit differently.

Choosing between two sizes

Acler designs by draping, so the fit changes from style to style and each piece carries the house's own note on how it sits. Where a bodice is designed to be fitted, the house recommends sizing up if you are between sizes. Its model is 175cm and wears an AU 8. Acler also gives garment measurements for a particular piece on request. We are happy to measure any piece we hold.

How to measure

Bust: around the fullest part, tape level across the back.
Waist: around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel.
Hip: around the fullest part, feet together.

Shoes

Acler shoes are labelled in European sizes. Each pair carries its own size line. We can check a pair against your usual size before you order.

Caring for Acler

Leather shoes and boots: wipe with a soft cloth to lift dust. For marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap and let them air dry away from heat. Apply a leather protector before wearing and keep them out of prolonged sun and wet weather. Store them somewhere cool and dry and condition the leather now and then so it stays supple.

For clothing, follow the care label sewn into the piece.

Still not sure

We have handled these pieces and can tell you how a particular style sits against the chart. Write to us before you order, or come and try it in Red Hill. The full edit is in our Acler collection.

Cold gentle machine wash or hand wash. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat in the shade and cool iron.
