A lustrous organdy fabric brings this gown to life, through the skirt panels and ribbon-detailed straps. Inspired by ballerinas, she is true elegance.
Organdy — the reason she moves
Organdy is a crisp, sheer fabric with a faint lustre. Unlike a soft tulle it holds its own shape, so a skirt built from it stands slightly away from the body and keeps its volume without weight or netting underneath.
It is what gives this gown its lift, and why she photographs as well in motion as standing still.
Panels and ribbon straps
The skirt is built in panels rather than gathered, which is what creates that clean vertical fall instead of bunching at the waist. Ribbon-detailed straps carry the same idea at the shoulder — simple, deliberate, nothing extra.
Inspired by ballerinas, she is a gown for a bride who wants lightness rather than grandeur.
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.
