Design your own: Tiered Dress

(4 customer reviews)

£259.00

In sizes UK 4-6 to UK 30-32
Gathered skirt dress with three tiers
In your choice of fabric

    'Relaxed fit' gives a looser silhouette with extra space in the waist whereas 'Regular fit' is more fitted to the body in the bodice

    'Classic bodice length' means the waistline of the dress will sit along your natural waistline. 'Empire bodice length' means a shorter bodice length which sits higher than your natural waistline (please note: your waist measurement will need to be taken at this point on the torso for this dress order + the skirt length will begin from this height)

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabrics for the different elements of your dress with our team before placing your order

    IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have checked if there is enough of your chosen fabric for gathered, puff, 3/4 or full length versions of sleeves before you place your order

    Please note: sleeveless garments with attached shoulder ties will mean that the garment opens completely at the shoulder when untied. Garments with sleeves with attached shoulder ties will mean that the shoulder ties are purely decorative
    This bow is decorative not functional

    Bow tie fastenings are functional not just decorative

    A 2-3" modesty panel sewn behind the bows to bridge any gaps created through movement when the garment is worn

    Fine cotton lining works with most fabric types, cupro lining works well with drapey fabrics
    Please note: you will need to add a lining if you are adding bound pockets to your garment unless you are designing with a heavyweight fabric

    Concealed zips are more hard-wearing - we recommend these for heavier fabrics + more fitted garments; invisible zips are lighter weight + a bit more delicate

    Please note some thicker fabrics like velvets / heavy wools etc won't be suitable for frills - if you are designing a garment with us in one of these fabrics and want to add frills please check with us first

    Please note: all tiered dresses have three tier panels of equal length for the skirt - you cannot have tiers of differing lengths

DESCRIPTION

One of newest designs: our tiered dress is a super versatile wardrobe staple.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC + PLACE YOUR ORDER:

1. Choose your fabric by heading to our instagram fabric gallery 

Each fabric has a reference number & details of which of our designs + sizes it is suitable for. Comment on the instagram post or email us via info@theemperorsoldclothes.co.uk to reserve it – we generally only have enough of each fabric for 1-2 garments so this step is really important!

2. Place your order here – double-check you have the correct garment style.

Your fabric reservation lasts for 72 hours so please place your order during this time otherwise the fabric will become available to other customers.

Important: make sure to write your size, sleeve preference + fabric reference number in the order notes when you are entering your payment details.

3. Sit back, make a cup of tea + get excited about your one of a kind garment!

GARMENT DETAILS:

With a comfortable figure-hugging bodice or a relaxed fit, this dress finishes just below the knee with three tiers to the skirt. Handmade from scratch in your choice of fabric the dress fastens with a side zip fastening.

Our tiered dress is a modern, more simple take on day dresses from the 1970s.

WAYS TO WEAR:

Wear the dress alone with your favourite shoes for out number 1.

For all year round wear style the dress with a high-neck top underneath and ankle boots to keep you warm in the colder months.

Our tiered dresses would make for a perfect formal dress for a wedding or an everyday dress. Dress up with a clutch bag & your favourite heels or go for a relaxed feel with some high socks & cosy cashmere.

Feel good fashion! This tiered dress will be created by our small team in our Brighton studio for a living wage. Every piece we make is totally unique and will not be reproduced.

Want to see how this design looks made up in different fabrics & sizes? Check out the whole range currently available in our shop.

All our clothing and accessories are hand-tailored from scratch in our Brighton studio. Every item we create is completely unique and created using mainly vintage and end-of-roll fabrics so no two items are the same.

  1. Verified owner Hannah Clegg (verified owner)

    I absolutely love my tiered dress. The skirt is super floaty and it fits so well. Currently experimenting with all the different ways to ties the front ties, it’s really versatile!

  2. Verified owner Yvonne (verified owner)

    My mix and match tiered Goth dress is a dream, even better than I imagined. I’m getting so many compliments on it. And it’s not just beautiful, it’s comfortable to wear as well

  3. Verified owner Sarah (verified owner)

    I was sooo excited when I saw Emperors launch this style of dress, I’ve got three, all in different fabrics with different features making them great for different events. The tiers create a lovely volume and silhouette.

  4. Verified owner Lucy Ellis (verified owner)

    Absolutely in love with my tiered dress. I was anxious about ordering it but as ever with Emperors it came out amazing! The tiers move so well, and because of the gorgeous fabric (viscose) it’s lightweight and swishy. It’s so so well made, and a much better fit than any fast fashion tiered styles out there. Thank you Emperors!
