What Parents Should Know

Your One-Shoulder Dress Questions, Answered
1. Is a one-shoulder neckline the same as an asymmetrical neckline?
Almost! A one-shoulder style is a specific *type* of asymmetrical neckline. While all one-shoulder dresses are asymmetrical, not all asymmetrical necklines have only one shoulder. It's the most popular and classic version of the asymmetrical trend.
2. Does a one-shoulder dress offer good support?
Yes, it offers more support than a strapless dress, making it a great option for those who want the look of bare shoulders with a bit more security. The single strap helps hold the bodice comfortably in place.
3. How do I find my size in a One-Shoulder Dress?
A great fit in the bust, waist, and the single strap is key. We strongly recommend using our official measurement guide. After you order, our stylists will personally contact you to discuss the fit and your measurements against the designer's specific chart.
