TheAthera Chiffon Cape Gownin Burgundy Red
£250.00
Description
In deep burgundy red, the Athera turns from soft to dramatic. The first gown of our Zaffa Collection, named for the procession that carries a bride into her wedding, takes on a richer, evening mood in this shade, made for winter weddings and formal nights.
Draped chiffon gathers across the bodice and wraps the waist, meeting a hand-formed chiffon rose at the hip. Asymmetric ruffles fall down the skirt in loose tiers, giving the gown movement with every step, and a matching short cape sits over the shoulders for a light, weightless line. Long sleeves and a high round neckline make it a natural choice for weddings, engagements, henna nights and Eid.

Size and fit
Our model is 178 cm and wears size M. Sizes are body measurements with the ease already added, so if you are between two sizes, take the larger: the waist is draped and forgiving, the bust is not.
Not sure? Use Find my size in the size guide, or email your bust, waist, hips and height to contact@orelth.com and we will tell you which size to order.
Pre-order and delivery
Every gown is made to order, so every order is a pre-order. Production takes 2–6 weeks from the day you order, then delivery takes 4–12 days with tracking. The dates shown on this page are worked out from today's date. We pay all import duties and taxes, so there is nothing more to pay on delivery.

Body measurements, not garment measurements — the ease is already added. Between two sizes, take the larger: the waist is draped and forgiving, the bust is not. The model is 178 cm and wears a size M.
Enter your body measurements. We compare them with the chart and round up when you fall between sizes.
- Bust — around the fullest part of your bust, wearing the bra you would wear with the gown. Keep the tape level.
- Waist — around the narrowest part, usually just above the navel. Do not pull tight.
- Hip — around the fullest part, roughly 20 cm below the waist.
- Length — from the highest point of your shoulder, beside your neck, straight down to the floor. Measure in the heels you plan to wear.
