What the numbers mean
The August Sky scalloped lace midi dress is made from a premium nylon-spandex blend that gives you the romantic look of delicate lace with the comfort of stretch fabric. Unlike rigid vintage lace, our fabric moves with your body and returns to shape after wear. The floral lace pattern is woven throughout, creating dimension and texture that photographs beautifully in any light.
We chose a medium-weight lace that holds structure without feeling stiff—thick enough to drape elegantly, light enough to pack for destination events. The scalloped edges are an integral part of the lace pattern itself, not sewn-on trim, which means they’ll never fray or detach. Our full lining in matching stretch jersey ensures the dress stays opaque while maintaining the same give as the outer layer.
This dress runs true to size with a fitted bodice and relaxed A-line skirt. We recommend ordering your usual size—the stretch lace provides about one inch of give in the bust and waist. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit through the torso, size up.
The midi length is designed to hit mid-calf on heights between 5’4″ and 5’8″. Petite frames may find it slightly longer, while taller wearers will see it land closer to the lower calf. The sleeves are cut to a standard length and hit at the wrist with a delicate scalloped cuff. For precise measurements and our detailed size chart, check the size guide in your cart before checkout.
Washing
Turn the dress inside out and machine wash on delicate cycle in cold water with like colors. Use a mesh laundry bag to protect the lace from snags. We recommend a gentle detergent without bleach or fabric softener, both of which can break down elastic fibers over time.
Drying & storage
Lay flat or hang to dry—never put this dress in the dryer, as heat will damage the stretch properties. If wrinkles occur, steam on low heat or use a cool iron on the lining side only. Store on a padded hanger to maintain the dress shape between wears. The scalloped edges will stay crisp with proper care and won’t require trimming or re-shaping.
Styling for different occasions
The beauty of the August Sky scalloped lace midi dress is its range. For weddings and formal events, pair it with nude or metallic heels, delicate jewelry, and a structured clutch. The semi-sheer sleeves mean you won’t need a wrap or jacket for modest dress codes, though a cropped blazer adds polish for evening ceremonies.
For more casual settings—rehearsal dinners, brunch parties, date nights—try it with leather ankle boots or block-heel mules. A denim jacket instantly relaxes the look while keeping the romantic feel. The midi silhouette works across seasons, transitioning from spring garden parties with bare legs to fall events with tights and a long coat. We love it with a wide belt at the natural waist to define your shape, or worn loose for an effortless bohemian vibe.

What the crews say
Your questions about the Scalloped Lace Midi Dress
No, the dress is fully lined with a stretch jersey lining that matches the outer lace color. The lining provides complete coverage through the bodice and skirt. Only the sleeves are semi-sheer, which is an intentional design detail that adds elegance without feeling too revealing. You won’t need a slip or additional undergarments for opacity.
We recommend seamless underwear and a strapless or convertible bra, depending on your size and preference. The dress has a fitted bodice that shows lines from traditional bra straps, so convertible or strapless options work best. Some customers with smaller busts wear it without a bra thanks to the full lining and supportive fit. Avoid anything with lace or texture that might show through the lining.
The scalloped lace midi dress works beautifully for both daytime and evening occasions. For daytime events like garden weddings, bridal showers, or spring luncheons, pair it with neutral accessories and lower heels or wedges. The midi length and modest sleeve coverage make it appropriate for most daytime dress codes. For evening, add metallic heels and statement jewelry to elevate the look.
Always wash the dress inside out in a mesh laundry bag on the delicate cycle. Remove any jewelry—especially rings and bracelets—before putting the dress on or taking it off, as these are the most common causes of snags. If you do get a small snag, gently pull the thread to the inside and secure it with a tiny dot of clear nail polish or fabric glue. Our lace is woven tightly to resist snagging, but proper care keeps it looking new longer.
The stretch lace fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant thanks to the spandex content. If the dress does wrinkle from shipping or storage, hang it in a steamy bathroom for ten minutes or use a handheld steamer on low heat. You can also iron the lining side on a cool setting—never iron the lace side directly. Most customers find that hanging the dress for a few hours before wearing is enough to release any fold lines.
We currently offer three classic shades—Ivory, Dusty Rose, and Midnight Navy. Ivory is a soft off-white that photographs beautifully and works for bridal events or spring celebrations. Dusty Rose is a muted blush pink perfect for romantic occasions. Midnight Navy is a deep, rich blue that flatters all skin tones and transitions across seasons. All three colors feature matching lining and scalloped edge details in the same shade.
The August Sky scalloped lace midi dress falls into the cocktail or semi-formal category, which makes it ideal for most wedding dress codes except strict black-tie or white-tie events. For black-tie optional weddings, it works well with elevated accessories. If the invitation specifies formal or black-tie preferred, consider pairing it with statement jewelry and luxe fabrics like velvet or satin accessories, or choose one of our floor-length gowns for a more traditional formal look.
