Dressology
This bridesmaid dress is by Dressology, loved for its softly draping chiffon gowns and a genuinely inclusive size range. We are your trusted Australian stockist for Dressology bridesmaid dresses. Below are your most commonly asked questions. Please read carefully before you place your order and chat to our stylists if you have any concerns
Size & Fit
Q: How do I ensure the best fit for my Dressology bridesmaid dress?
A: Get measured by a professional tailor. If that’s not possible, follow our guidelines for taking your own measurements using a soft measuring tape, keeping it snug but not tight, and measuring over your undergarments. Then refer to the Dressology size chart on this page. We also have an amazing try-at-home service called Try Before You Buy that uses our showroom designs to help with design, fit and colour. Check out the available Dressology designs here!
Q: What is Dressology’s size range?
A: Dressology offers an inclusive size range from AU 6–28, designed to flatter and celebrate every body type.
Q: What if I’m in between sizes?
A: If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger size, as it’s easier to alter a dress to fit you perfectly. Please allow around a 2cm variance, as some styles vary slightly with fabric and fit. Most bridal parties require alterations for a perfect fit, such as hemming, straps, and waistline adjustments.
Q: Can I try on a Dressology dress before I buy it?
A: Yes! We recommend using our Try Before You Buy service, shipping our Dressology showroom designs straight to your door. Learn more here.
Maternity Bridesmaid Dress Orders
Q: What should I do if my bridesmaid is pregnant, becomes pregnant, or is postpartum?
A: Contact our stylists for Dressology maternity recommendations. Please let us know how far along you will be for the wear date so we can best help.
Ordering & Production
Q: How long do Dressology orders take to arrive?
A: Dressology dresses are made to order and take approximately 2–6 weeks to produce before shipping. Certain styles may be available sooner from our in-stock range – just reach out with the style, colour and size so we can double check availability.
Q: When should I place my Dressology order?
A: We recommend ordering with plenty of time before your wedding to allow for production, shipping and alterations – aim for at least 10 weeks before the big day.
Returns & Exchanges
Q: Can I get a refund or exchange if I change my date, cancel my wedding, or change my mind?
A: Unfortunately, no. Dressology bridesmaid dresses are made to order and cannot be cancelled, refunded, or exchanged once ordered. Please double-check your measurements and the size chart before ordering.
Care & Maintenance
Q: How do I care for my Dressology dress?
A: Dressology’s chiffon gowns are delicate – we recommend dry cleaning, or gently hand washing in cold water and hanging to dry in the shade, to protect the soft drape and finish.

The details.
Elara in Black
Elara in Black by Dressology is a satin bridesmaid dress for a sleek, understated bridal-party look. The dark colour gives definition to the draped asymmetric neckline, gathered waist and long skirt with a front split.
Dress details
- Shade: Black
- High-stretch satin, lined and unpadded
- Draped one-shoulder neckline and short drop-shoulder sleeve
- Ruching through the waist and hip
- Long skirt with a front split
- Right-side zip fastening
Who it suits
Bridesmaids who enjoy a clean, defined silhouette with interest at the neckline rather than embellishment. The short sleeve sits below one shoulder, leaving that shoulder exposed. If a conventional bra is a priority, check the neckline carefully: a standard shoulder strap may show, and the unpadded bodice does not provide built-in padded support.
Perfect for
A city wedding, an evening ceremony or a formal restaurant reception. Pair black satin with white flowers and silver jewellery for a crisp monochrome look, or deep red flowers and gold accessories for a richer evening palette. Keep accessories simple to let the asymmetric cut stand out.
Fit and sizing
Check the Elara-specific size chart before ordering. With one shoulder exposed, standard bra straps may be visible; try your preferred strapless support with the dress rather than assuming the neckline will conceal it. Hem position varies with your height and shoes.
Colours can vary between screens and the fabric in person.
Ordering
Made to order. Sizes 8–20 AU / 4–16 US. Please allow 2–6 weeks for your order. Contact our team if you are working towards a particular wedding date.
