Caroline Coral Bloom Maternity Baby Shower Dress

• High round neckline in floral lace
• Sleeveless with wide lace straps
• Sheer lace above a sweetheart lining
• Chiffon sash with a back bow
• Lined, gathered chiffon skirt to the floor
• All-lace back with a round neckline

Matte floral lace and fine, lightweight chiffon in a soft coral, a salmon shade that leans toward orange rather than pink and stays gentler than a bright neon coral. The lace covers the bodice front and back; at the front it is a single sheer layer from the neckline to the upper chest, with a sweetheart-shaped lining at the bust showing softly through. The narrow sash and the skirt are matte chiffon in the same coral, gathered just under the bust over a matching lining, so the skirt falls loosely over the bump in soft folds.

Available in S, M, L, XL and XXL. The size chart on this page lists garment measurements for bust, length and shoulder, with inches first, then centimeters. Garment measurements are not body measurements, so compare them with a dress that fits you well.

How do I choose my size?

Compare the garment measurements in the size chart on this page with a dress that fits you well; it lists bust, length and shoulder. Length is 59.1 in / 150 cm in every size, and your height changes where the hem lands. Inches appear first, then centimeters.

How long is this dress, and does it have a train?

It is a floor-length maxi with no train and no slit: below the sash, the gathered chiffon falls fairly straight with only a slight A-line, and in our full-length photos the hem just reaches the floor. The front, side and back views show the whole length, and the chest-down view shows the outer chiffon falling a touch past the lining, which leaves a softly sheer edge at the hem. Your height changes where the hem lands, so check the length for your size in the size chart on this page.

What are the neckline, straps and back like?

The high round neckline sits just below the base of the neck, and the dress is sleeveless, with wide lace straps over the shoulders. The back is all lace up to a round back neckline, and the chiffon sash ties in a bow at the center back, with tails that fall to about mid-thigh, so you can tie it a little snugger or looser. No zipper or buttons are visible at the front or back. See the neckline close-up, the back view and the back bow sash close-up in the material guide.

Is the lace see-through, and is the dress lined?

At the front, the lace is a single sheer layer from the neckline to the upper chest, so a little skin shows through there, while a sweetheart-shaped lining sits behind the lace at the bust. At the back, the upper part of the lace is a single sheer layer too, with the lining starting lower down. The chiffon skirt is gathered over a matching lining, and the only trim is the lace itself and the bow at the back, with no sequins or beading. Zoom in on the neckline close-up and the material guide's close-ups of the lace bodice, the back bow sash and the chiffon skirt to see each layer.
