Acler Gowrie Midi Dress, Black

$495.00

Australian sizing.

Complimentary delivery on this piece, Australia-wide.

A run of tucks drapes down the skirt of the Gowrie and ends at an asymmetric hem. On a black dress the cut is all there is to look at, so Acler put the work there.

The cloth is bonded, two layers fused into one. It holds the drape where it was set through a long evening. Above it are a sweetheart neckline and a scooped back. The bodice is lined and the zip is concealed at the back.

A front split opens as you walk and closes when you stand. Of the two black Acler midis we carry, the Montebello is gathered and plain. The Gowrie is the one with movement in it.

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
