Style Guide and Size Chart

 This size chart applies to all our clothing including woman's dresses, tops, jackets, pants and skirts.

STEP 1: MEASURE YOURSELF

Style Tip: For the most accurate results, measure yourself in your undergarments. All measurements are in inches.


BUST: Measure under you arms and around the fullest part of your bust. 
NATURAL WAIST: Measure the narrowest part of your torso or Bend to one side to find the natural crease. Straighten and measure at this point.
HIP: Stand with feet together and measure around fullest part of hip.

If you have any questions or concerns, email Sandhya on LABELSANDHYAGARG@gmail.com

STEP 2: FIND YOUR SIZE

Use the chart below to determine your size. If you’re on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit.

If your measurements for bust and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the size indicated by your bust measurement.

The Opal Dress is built around three details that most formal dresses only manage one of: balloon sleeves that add drama without weight, a tulip-front midi skirt with side ruching that creates movement in the photograph and ease in the room, and sparkly georgette that reads as formal at any distance. Designed by Sandhya Garg, Project Runway Season 13, and worn by someone who bought a Small at 5'3" and 130 lbs and wrote: "fits as if they were tailored for me, zero wrinkles, and the material is lightweight and lined." At $378, that is the review that matters.

The construction: a wrap front with a knotted detail at the waist, balloon long sleeves that widen from the shoulder and narrow at the cuff, a tulip midi skirt with overlapping front panels, and side ruching at the hip. Everything closes with a hidden side zipper. The sparkly georgette is the fabric doing the glamour work — georgette has a natural drape and slight crinkle that gives the dress movement; the sparkle catches light without being reflective in the way sequins are. The result photographs as both black and gold depending on the light — which is why the image gallery shows it as 'formal black gold dress' and 'blue black gold dress' in different lighting conditions.

The occasion range for this dress is specifically formal and evening: cocktail receptions, autumn and winter weddings where a dark formal dress is exactly appropriate, evening parties, graduation celebrations, date nights where the venue is upscale, and any black dress occasion. The Opal is not a casual dress — the balloon sleeves and sparkly georgette are occasion-specific signals. For wedding guest events where you want to be remembered without competing with anyone, this is the dress that accomplishes that.

How to style it: The balloon sleeves and sparkly fabric mean you do not need much else. A pointed-toe heel in black, gold, or nude; a small clutch; and one statement earring — either a long drop or a sculptural hoop. The wrap front and knotted detail are the jewellery of the bodice — skip the necklace. The tulip skirt works best with a heel that gives the hem clearance from the floor. For a resort evening, the same dress with flat metallic sandals reads as appropriately relaxed.

Available in sizes XS through XXL (US sizes 00–20). The dress runs true to size. Model is 5'9" wearing Small (B31" W25" H36"). Anonymous (5'3", 130 lbs) ordered Small and described the fit as 'tailored'. For sizes above XXL or for custom measurements, email labelsandhyagarg@gmail.com to discuss a custom order.

Care: Dry clean only. Sparkly georgette requires professional cleaning to maintain the sparkle threads and fabric structure. Store hung — do not fold on the balloon sleeves, which will hold shape better on a padded hanger.

Is the Opal dress true to size?

Yes. The wrap construction adjusts to the body through the knotted detail. The dress runs true to size — a buyer at 5'3" and 130 lbs found Small fitted 'as if tailored.' Check the size chart and measure your bust before ordering.

Will this dress wrinkle?

No — buyers specifically note 'zero wrinkles, how is that even possible!' The sparkly georgette fabric resists wrinkling naturally, making this dress suitable for travel and long events.

Is the dress lined?

Yes — the dress is lightweight and fully lined, confirmed by buyers. No slip required.

What is sparkly georgette?

Georgette is a lightweight, slightly crinkled fabric with natural drape and movement. 'Sparkly' georgette has metallic or glitter threads woven into the base fabric, which catch light without the heavy reflectiveness of sequins. In different lighting conditions, this dress photographs as black with gold and blue undertones — which is why you see it labelled 'black gold dress' and 'blue black gold dress' in the image gallery.

Is this dress appropriate for a formal wedding guest?

Yes. The sparkly georgette, balloon sleeves, and tulip skirt silhouette all read as formal occasion wear. Particularly appropriate for autumn and winter weddings, cocktail receptions, and indoor evening events.

Is XXXL or 3XL available?

The Opal currently runs XS through XXL (US sizes 00–20). For sizes above XXL, custom sizing is available — email labelsandhyagarg@gmail.com with your measurements.

How do I care for sparkly georgette?

Dry clean only. Sparkly georgette requires professional cleaning to maintain the metallic threads and fabric structure. Store hung on a padded hanger — the balloon sleeves will hold their shape better when not folded.

Answer- The print of the dress is exclusively designed by Sandhya herself. She draws inspiration from her travels and takes many days to research and design the print from scratch by drawing, sketching, painting, CAD and more before arriving at the final print and then getting it printed at her own printing facility. From starting till the end the process is all hers. After we have the perfect print on the perfect fabric we start working on dress shapes and the collection. We manufacture in our own design studio in USA and India, thus making sure our clothing is exclusive and top quality.

Answer- All of our fabrics are printed and embroidered in India. We work to ensure the finest quality of construction and never employ the use of child labor or unfair trade practices. Embellishments are meticulously hand-applied. This skill is very specialized and only performed by the greatest of heritage craftsman who have perfected their trade. We pride ourselves in supporting the Indian people (Sandhya herself comes from India and grew up around craft) at this very unique craft. The beauty of our fabrics and embellishments lie in their uniqueness and there may be slight variations in color and design. Because these pieces are 100 percent made by hand, slight variations in the placement of the patterns are to be expected (and, we think, part of the charm!)

13. Can I find your dresses at cheaper prices or do you go on sale?
