What works in this climate

Fluid over structured

A rigid bodice that feels fine in a dry city becomes uncomfortable at eighty percent humidity. Look for fabric that moves and a bodice that holds without gripping.

Colour and print over heavy black

Under strong sun and against water, print and colour photograph far better than a flat dark dress. See floral prints and red dresses.

Length that suits sand and terrace

Beach and rooftop weddings are the norm here, and a full gown drags through both. Midi and mini lengths are the practical answer: midi and mini dresses.

Satin after dark

Most Miami events begin when the light goes, which is exactly when satin performs — it catches artificial light beautifully. See satin dresses and the fabric guide.

Occasions

Destination weddings run almost year round here, with a lull in the deepest summer heat. Art Basel week in December, boat and gallery evenings, and a birthday calendar that never stops. If an invitation names a dress code, our dress code guide explains what cocktail, black tie and formal actually require; for weddings, the guest guide covers colour etiquette.

Getting the size right the first time

There is no fitting room here, so measurements do the work. It takes ten minutes and saves a return.

Measure over bare skin or thin underwear, wearing the bra you plan to wear with the dress — a padded bra moves the bust measurement by several centimetres.
Take four numbers: bust, underbust, waist and hips. Keep the tape level all the way round; the most common mistake is letting it ride up at the back.
Match them to the size chart, which maps our sizes to US, UK and EU equivalents.
Between two sizes, size up on anything structured. A seam can be taken in; fabric cannot be added.

For corset and bustier styles the deciding measurement is underbust, not bust — a boned bodice has almost no give and has to sit correctly vertically as well. Our corset sizing guide covers it, and the measuring guide walks through each number.

Still unsure? Send your measurements and the dress you are considering to info@the-clipse.com — we answer with an honest recommendation, including when the answer is that neither size will work.

Returns, and what happens if it doesn’t fit

Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Items must be unworn, with tags attached and in original packaging. Email us with your order number and we reply with instructions — please don’t send anything back before that, as unannounced returns can go astray.

Refunds go to the original payment method within 5–10 business days of the parcel reaching us. Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility unless the item arrived faulty or incorrect, in which case we cover it.
