A full-skirted silk duchess satin gown speaks of a timeless elegance and true luxury. Cut shorter at the front to enable viewing of the multiple tulle under layers. It falls into a sweeping train at the back where more tulle is visible, further extending the train. The front skirt of the gown is knotted within itself and then further accentuated with hand made silk flowers to form an architectural yet incurably romantic focal point. An additional cluster of silk flowers at the dropped waist draw the eye in a reverse 'S' up the body to the flattering bodice with its vertical lines and clear styling.

A deceptively simple sheath is formed using a heavily embroidered habotai silk. The architectural train on this gown is couture inspired and falls from below the shoulder blades falling gracefully into a gently curved tulle padded train. The dress is further accentuated with the addition of structured bows at the empire bust line and also at the waist of the train.

A GLORIOUSLY ROMANTIC FULL-SKIRTED GOWN USES OVER 150 YARDS OF TULLE, EACH LAYER HAND GATHERED AND APPLIED TO FORM A DELICIOUS CLOUD FROM WHICH A SCULPTURED AND HEAVILY BONED SILK TULLE BODICE EMERGES. PROPORTIONS EVOKE THE ORIGINAL COUTURIERS LIKE WORTH AND CHARLES JAMES, AS WELL AS EMPRESS EUGENE. THE DELICACY OF THE TULLE IS CONTRASTED BY THE STRUCTURE WITHIN THE BODICE AND THE OVERALL BEAUTY FURTHER ENHANCED BY THE SWEEPING MULTI LAYERED SKIRT THAT DESCENDS INTO A VOLUPTUOUS TRAIN.

Isabella

 

This full-skirted gown embraces modernity and classicism with the hand-pleated bodice atop a volume of tulle. The bodice was meticulously constructed on the dress form so that each pleat falls in the perfect place to accentuate the body beneath, which took over 40 hours alone to complete. An ice lilac silk satin bow divides the white pleats to add the romanticism that every bride aspires to. The back of the gown is hi-lighted with a row of delicate pearl buttons with hand turned rouleau fastenings.

The Fin De Siècle was the inspiration for a cascading ivory silk chiffon gown beautifully adorned with handmade and applied silk and organza roses. The flowers delicately accentuate the curve of the form and the drape of the skirt over the hip and also at the softly gathered bust. Three layers of chiffon were attached over a silk and silk chiffon foundation to achieve the correct drape and volume. Feminine gathered cap half sleeves draw the eye up to and around the graceful timeless scooped décolleté.
