Vintage glamour with a modern twist. This satin gown has a deep 'V' neckline with three-quarter puff sleeves and pearl button details. The panelless bias-cut back is the height of sophistication.
The back is the whole story
A panelless bias-cut back means the fabric is cut on the diagonal of the weave rather than straight along it, so it falls in one unbroken piece and follows the body instead of being seamed into shape. It is the harder way to cut a gown and the reason this one moves the way it does.
It is also what you see for most of the ceremony. Emilia puts her detail where your guests are actually looking.
Satin, sleeves and pearl buttons
Bridal satin holds a clean line and catches light across a room, which is what gives this gown its vintage weight. The three-quarter puff sleeve softens it — coverage through the arm without the formality of a full sleeve, and a shape that suits a bride who wants something classic but not austere.
The pearl buttons are the finishing note. Small, deliberate, and entirely in keeping with a gown that does not need to shout.
Every gown is made to measure.
Nothing in the collection is bought off a rack. Each gown is made for one bride, to her measurements, through the same bespoke process — five fittings, a made-to-measure toile, and a gown that fits only her.
Come and see it in the Christchurch studio. Details can be adjusted, fabrics reconsidered and necklines changed — the collection is a starting point, not a catalogue.
