Q&A

Love this dress! I thought the empire waist had a band or belt but I'm now not sure...is this dress flattering for hiding tummy (I have a hernia) enough...don't want too fitted or too big either that you look heavier...I'm hoping in 2 weeks it's still in stock when I'm able to purchase it!

Hi Dawn - We're happy to hear you love this dress! It is definitely on of our faves as well. This gown technically has no give as the fabric is non-stretch. Where the "give" comes in is the elastic waistband. Because this gown was designed with an empire waist, the silhouette should naturally cover your tummy area while the branches/floral pattern's vertical position provide a flattering look. Our pattern maker has recommended that you may want to size up from your usual size. Since the dress has a dolman sleeve, this will not affect your fit at the bodice and may give you a more comfortable fit around the tummy area. If you're looking for more of a defined empire waistband, I would recommend the Leona Lace Gown, Maria Lace Evening Gown, Paris Pleated Evening Gown or Verona Velvet Evening Gown. Granted all of these other options are not of the embroidered fabric but they do feature a more defined empire waistband and an A-line skirt hiding the tummy area. In these options, I'm confident that you can go with your usual size. Hope this helps! If you need additional help, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Do you think this would be acceptable for a summertime semi-formal wedding , and worn again for a formal winter wedding?

Hi Mary, Thanks for reaching out in regards to the Embroidered Elegance evening gown. I think it is such a very versatile gown that would be very suitable for a summer wedding and an evening winter wedding. You will love it and keep it for many years as a go to gown. Take care, Kiyonna Customer Service

I need this in a 3x when would this size become available?

Hi Pam, we just got the Embroidered Elegance Evening Gown back in stock. You should be able to order from the site today!

does this beautiful dress run large?

Hi MaryAnn, the Embroidered Elegance is a gorgeous gown. The fit is true to size but doesn't have a lot of stretch so if you are in between sizes, you might want to go up or down depending.

Hello! Do feel like this dress in onyx would be appropriate for a Smart Casual 4pm wedding in mid-March? (It’s difficult for me to tell eithout seeing it in-person.)

Our Embroidered Elegance in Onyx is a gorgeous best seller that would be a hit for your wedding event. I think you would be a stunner!

Will this dress ever be produced in an ivory/oyster color with ivory embellishments? I LOVE this dress!!

Will this be back in black?

Hi Tessa, Yes! We will be restocking late October! Keep an eye out on our website so you can snag one of the first ones! Feel free to give our Customer Service Team a call with any questions.

I have been trying to find out where my order is. I received an email that one of the dresses wasn't available after I placed my order. (which how does this happen) I emailed back to just send my order on that I didn't have time then to look for another dress. I haven't received any info back at all on the rest of my order. I have also tried Live Chat and no one is answering but it says its live.

Hi Betsy, I apologize for the delay, we were trying to fill your entire order as we are out of the 0X in the Tour de Flounce. I am shipping three dresses today for you 2nd day on us so you can let us know what fits and if you need to return, just reach out via email for a return label. I hope you find something you love.
