Couture details & construction
Silk Charmeuse Fabric & Atelier Construction
We source our silk charmeuse exclusively from Italian mills known for their tight weave and natural luster. The Ralph & Russo green satin dress uses 22-momme weight silk, ensuring the fabric holds its shape while draping beautifully across the body.
Our atelier team hand-cuts each pattern piece on the bias to maximize fluidity and movement. Internal corsetry channels are reinforced with flexible boning — the same technique used in our bridal couture — to sculpt the waist and provide all-day support without compromising comfort.
Sizing, Fit & Made-to-Order Process
Measurements & Size Selection
The ralph and russo dress green is cut to our standard UK sizing, with a fitted bodice and full A-line skirt. We recommend booking a fitting appointment at one of our boutiques to ensure precise measurements, as couture pieces require exact bust, waist, and hip dimensions.
Standard sizes range from UK 6 to 16, with complimentary alterations included in your purchase. Our fitting specialists will adjust shoulder width, bodice length, and hem height to your proportions.
Care Instructions for Silk Couture
Silk charmeuse requires professional dry cleaning with a specialist familiar with couture garments. After each wear, hang the Ralph & Russo green satin dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag to prevent dust accumulation and fabric stress.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade natural dyes over time. Store in a cool, dry environment — never in plastic, which traps moisture and can yellow silk fibers.

Questions About the Green Satin Dress
As a made-to-order couture piece, the Ralph & Russo green satin dress requires 6-8 weeks from your final fitting appointment to delivery. This timeline allows our London atelier team to hand-cut your pattern, construct the corsetry bodice, and complete finishing work to our exacting standards.
If you have an event within 4 weeks, contact our concierge team to inquire about rush production. We can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines for an additional fee, depending on current atelier capacity.
Yes, we offer this silhouette in a range of silk charmeuse colors including midnight blue, champagne gold, burgundy, and classic black. Our fitting specialists can show you fabric swatches during your appointment so you can see how each shade complements your skin tone.
Custom color requests may be possible if you’re ordering well in advance. Our Italian silk mill can dye fabric to specific Pantone references, though this extends lead time by an additional 3-4 weeks and requires a minimum yardage commitment.
After each wear, hang the dress on a padded hanger inside the breathable garment bag provided with your purchase. Avoid folding silk charmeuse, as creases can become permanent over time.
Take the gown to a professional dry cleaner experienced with couture garments within a few days of your event — even if you don’t see visible stains, body oils and perspiration can set into silk fibers. Store in a cool, dry closet away from direct sunlight, which fades natural dyes. Never use plastic garment bags for long-term storage, as they trap moisture.
We strongly recommend scheduling a fitting appointment at one of our boutiques before placing your order. The ralph and russo dress green features a fitted, corseted bodice that requires precise bust, waist, and hip measurements for proper fit.
Our standard sizing runs UK 6-16, and complimentary alterations are included within 60 days of delivery. During your fitting, our specialists will take detailed measurements and discuss any proportional adjustments needed for your body shape. This ensures the final gown fits like a second skin through the bodice while allowing graceful movement in the skirt.
The silk charmeuse fabric and floor-length hemline make this gown best suited for indoor venues or covered outdoor spaces with smooth flooring. Grass, gravel, or uneven terrain can snag the delicate silk and stress the hem finish.
If your event includes outdoor portions, we recommend arranging for a garment handler or asking venue staff about walkway coverage. The built-in weighted hem helps the skirt drape beautifully, but it’s not designed for rough surfaces. For garden parties or beach weddings, consider our <a href=”/pink-dress/”>pink dress</a> collection, which includes styles in more forgiving fabrics.
Yes, complimentary alterations are included within 60 days of receiving your green satin dress. Visit any Ralph & Russo boutique for adjustments to hem length, shoulder fit, or bodice proportions.
Beyond the 60-day window, we offer alteration services for a fee. Because this is a couture garment with internal corsetry and hand-finished seams, we recommend having all adjustments done by our atelier team rather than a local tailor. This ensures the structural integrity and drape of the gown remain intact.
We recommend carrying the gown with you rather than checking it as luggage. Fold the dress carefully in a garment bag and lay it flat in an overhead compartment if possible, or ask flight attendants if they can hang it in a closet.
Upon arrival, hang the gown immediately and steam any wrinkles using a handheld steamer on the reverse side. Never iron silk charmeuse directly. If you’re traveling internationally for an event, consider having the dress delivered to your hotel concierge in advance — we can arrange secure shipping with signature confirmation to luxury properties worldwide.
