Lace Fabric & Construction

Lace Fabric & Construction

The Helsa lace column dress features a delicate floral lace carefully selected for its balance of structure and drape. We source this lace specifically for its fine gauge, which creates visual interest without overwhelming the silhouette.

The lace overlay is fully backed with a smooth jersey lining that prevents transparency and adds a comfortable layer against the skin. Our construction team finishes every seam with French seaming techniques to eliminate raw edges and ensure durability through repeated wear and cleaning.


Sizing & Fit Guide

Sizing & Fit Guide

The column cut of this dress is designed to skim the body without clinging. We recommend ordering your standard dress size for a fitted yet comfortable silhouette. If you prefer a looser drape or fall between sizes, we suggest sizing up.

Adjustable spaghetti straps offer approximately 2 inches of length customization, allowing you to dial in the ideal bodice fit and neckline depth. The dress runs true to length at 58 inches from shoulder seam to hem, which translates to floor-length on most heights between 5’5″ and 5’9″ when wearing heels.


Care Instructions

Care Instructions

To preserve the lace detail and lining integrity, we recommend professional dry cleaning for the Helsa lace column dress. If hand washing at home, use cold water and a gentle detergent designed for delicates.

Hang the dress to air dry away from direct sunlight, and avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. For touch-ups between wears, a garment steamer set to low heat works beautifully on the lace without flattening its texture. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shoulder shape and prevent stretching.

Absolutely stunning for my sister's wedding
I wore this to my sister's wedding and received compliments all night. The lace is so delicate and the fit is incredibly flattering. I'm 5'7" and wore 3-inch heels — the length was perfect. The adjustable straps made it easy to get the bodice just right.

Elegant and comfortable all evening
I was worried about comfort in a fitted dress, but the lining is so soft and the column cut doesn't restrict movement at all. I danced for hours and never felt like I needed to adjust anything. This dress is a keeper.

True to size and beautiful quality
I ordered my usual size 6 and it fits like a glove. The lace detail is even more intricate in person than in the photos. You can tell this dress is well-made — the seams are clean and the zipper is smooth. Worth every penny.

Gorgeous dress, runs slightly long
The dress is absolutely beautiful and the lace is exquisite. I'm 5'4" and even with heels it dragged a bit, so I had it hemmed. Once adjusted, it was perfect for a black-tie gala. I'd recommend knowing your height before ordering.

Perfect for formal events
I bought this for a charity gala and felt elegant all night. The column shape is so flattering and the lace adds just enough detail without being too busy. I've already worn it to two other events and plan to keep it in rotation.
