About the brand

Self-Portrait is a contemporary womenswear brand founded in London in 2013 by Malaysian-born designer Han Chong, a Central Saint Martins graduate. With a creative vision to make beautiful design accessible to all women, the brand has become renowned for its modern yet feminine aesthetic, characterized by intricate lace, sharp tailoring, and sophisticated understanding of structure and materials. The brand's signature Azaelea dress, crafted from textured guipure lace, has become iconic and been worn by celebrities including Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, and Beyoncé. Self-Portrait's philosophy centers on "femininity ensured by elegant functionality," creating pieces that empower women while maintaining accessibility through democratic pricing around $500-600. Over its decade-long journey, the brand has expanded from lace dresses into accessories, bridal wear, and childrenswear, establishing flagship stores in London and globally across Asia, cementing its position as a go-to label for contemporary luxury.

I was not ready for how good the quality would be. The dresses are absolutely stunning — they look exactly like the photos (which, let's be honest, is rare with a lot of brands ). I'm genuinely shocked in the best way and completely in love.

I've always found Self-Portrait dress sizing spot on and the quality and craftmanship so well done.

This brands aesthetic is ladylike but fashion forward, feminine and flattering and I can't get enough of it.

From the flattering scoop neck to metallic threading to beaded embellishment, this dress is 10/10. While some of the cutout dresses in the market can be sexy, this one from Self-Portrait is just perfect. It's a perfect blend of cute, elegance, and sassiness and you have no problem wearing this dress alone.

Beautiful brand. Super feminine. High quality!

In the bust no, it's not consistent from dress to dress. I find this brand runs smaller at the top so take that into account. Quality is on point though, love Self-Portrait.

I'd say UK 6 is a little tight for me because the waistband from this brand is not stretchable at all... But still, I'd recommend sizing up for the dresses that come with the waistband design.

Self-Portrait is beautiful but runs SO small. I bought a dress of theirs and sized up and I still couldn't zip it.

It really is nothing special and some of their clothing are made in China. They are severely overpriced IMO. Quality is ok but na it isn't worth the price tag.
