This gown answers one of fashion’s most compelling structural questions: what happens when two fabrics that are temperamental opposites are asked to become one garment? The fitted velvet bodice is sleeveless, boned at the sides for structure, and cut high at the back to create a clean horizontal line at the waist before the fabric transitions. From that line, a bridal chiffon skirt in ivory falls in long, sweeping layers to the floor and continues into a three-metre train. The contrast is absolute: the bodice is heavy, light-absorbing, and close to the body; the skirt is weightless, light-diffusing, and expansive. Together they create a silhouette that shifts dramatically in character as the wearer moves, the static formal presence of the velvet giving way to the kinetic, processional quality of the chiffon. A gown that rewards movement.
Available in sizes 6 to 18. Fabric: Black velvet (bodice); ivory bridal chiffon (skirt and train). Care: Dry clean only. The boning at the bodice must not be compressed. Store hanging in a full-length garment bag. The chiffon train should be loosely folded in acid-free tissue to avoid permanent creasing.
