The perfect wedding dress for the bride who wants it all: this gown can be styled in so many ways I have not even found them all yet!
The bodice is light but structured, fully boned, made with a vintage handwoven unbleached hemp, fully lined with smooth silk satin. Thin straps help support your bust. You can easily wear a strapless bra under this dress.
At the waistline, two long long silk ribbons are sewn (over 2 meters long), and these allow you to change the style of the dress dramatically with a single gesture.
The gown features a corset lace-up, making it very adjustable and easy to fit even at a distance. It is rare that this style of gown needs alterations.
The skirt, made of 4 layers of silk, features a draped crepe chiffon top layer that creates movement and asymmetry. The other layers, which are light chiffons and a soft crepe de chine lining, can be made either with a train or all floor length. These layers are dip dyed in an ombré gradient of color.
The sample dress shown is ivory, with a rich rust dip dye bottom. The dip dye process is unique to each dress, and we can discuss the color you prefer, how intense and how much. Blush, grey, darker caramel, pale dusty blue, lavender, a rich golden yellow… the options are so many! This one is very saturated and deep, but we can keep the color very light and delicate if you prefer.
Alternatively, you can order it without the dip dye as well.
Here is a Facebook album where you can see more ways to style the silk ties around your body, for entirely different looks:
