STYLING
Q: I don't live near Lumière Curation. How can I obtain expert advice?
A: We offer email consultations! For more info click here.
Q: How do I know which size to order?
A: If you are unable to meet with our stylist for an appointment at our pop-up event, we recommend getting measured by a professional tailor and using our Fit Guide to best determine your size. A dress is always easier to be taken in than let out. Generally, alterations cannot increase the size of a dress, however, they can make a slightly loose dress fit perfectly. When in between sizes, always order the larger size, as a dress can easily be altered down, but rarely altered up. Lumière Curation is not responsible for inaccurate size ordering, or an incorrect size due to a customers change in size during the dress production period.
