Alina is the perfect reinvention of classic lines & fabrics.
Her stunning V-neck bodice is crafted from corded lace, lightly beaded to glisten in the light. The spaghetti straps cross over at the back, becoming the lacing for the elaborate back.
The lace spills onto the luxurious satin A-line skirt, which features a hidden front leg split & small train (we recommend professional removal of this train during your hem alteration to ensure there is no risk of tripping while dancing).
Boned with bra cups, you can wear this dress comfortably without a bra, though we would suggest taping for extra confidence if you have a larger cup size.
ORDER TIMES: Please note that this dress may need to be ordered. Order times are normally 12 - 14 weeks. Rush orders ($55 surcharge) are normally 10 - 12 weeks. Please contact us direct for rush orders.

How to Measure Yourself (hint: it's easier with a friend!)
BUST – Stand evenly with feet slightly apart, arms by your sides & looking straight ahead. Don’t wear bulky layers. Measure under the arms, around the fullest part of the bust with only the bra that you will wear with the dress.
NATURAL WAIST – Your natural waistline is approx 1.5 inches (approx 4 cm) above the belly button. An easy way to find it is to wrap the tape measure around your torso, bend to one side, move the tape measure to the fold you have created by bending, and then hold the measure there while you straighten up. Ensure you are relaxed and not breathing in while the measurement is being taken.
HIPS – Ensure nothing is in your pockets. Run the measuring tape around the hip/middle of your bottom. Not the hip bones. The tape should be firm but not overly tight.
Length for Tania Olsen dresses
If you measure over 5’9 (approx 180cm) in height, we suggest extra length be ordered. Extra length is set at 4 inches (approx 10cm). Hollow to floor measurement of Tania Olsen dresses is 61 inches (approx 155cm). The “hollow” is the hollow of your neck, or the dip between your collarbones. You will need someone else to take this measurement while you stand looking straight ahead in bare feet.
