Editor’s Guide: Wearing Costarellos
A Costarellos gown is a statement of texture. The mix of lace, tulle, and embroidery requires minimal styling to let the craftsmanship shine.
1. The Modern Victorian
The brand is famous for high necklines and long sleeves crafted from sheer lace. Keep hair swept back in a soft bun to elongate the neck and showcase the intricate collar details.
2. Destination Weddings
Costarellos is the ultimate choice for a Mediterranean or garden wedding. Pair a tiered maxi dress with flat leather sandals and gold jewelry for a look that is elegant yet grounded.
3. Playing with Opacity
Many designs feature “illusion” panels. Ensure you have the correct nude undergarments. The lined bodices are supportive, often eliminating the need for a bra.
Sizing Guide: Costarellos
Costarellos uses French Sizing (FR) or Standard S/M/L.
- The Fit: The brand generally fits true to size, but styles with non-stretch lace bodices can feel fitted through the ribcage.
- Recommendation: If you are between sizes, or have a wider ribcage/bust, we recommend sizing up in the lace gowns.
- Length: Maxi dresses are cut long to accommodate heels. Petite clients should anticipate needing a hem alteration.
