A knee-length A-line midi cocktail party dress in satin with a bateau neckline. Embroidery runs across the bodice, and the skirt falls from the empire seam to below the knee. The bateau edge rides high across the collarbone. It is cut for a cocktail party or a sweet sixteen.
Over the lining, satin keeps the skirt in a straight line. The embroidery is worked into the bodice. The bateau edge is faced so it holds. A concealed zip closes the back. The embroidery is set by hand, so it sits flat against the satin. Hand-set embroidery keeps the detail sitting flat on the satin. The embroidery is stitched by hand, flush against the satin. For a cocktail party ceremony, the dress reads formal without a full-length skirt.
Fine Materials
We carefully select high-quality beads, pearls, fabrics and threads to create every dress. We look for vibrant colors, beautiful sheen and rich textures in every material that goes into your dress.
Elegant beading
Many of our dresses feature beautiful beading on the sleeves, bodice or skirt. Professional dressmakers spend hours skillfully sewing on beads and pearls to perfect an elegant and classic design for you.
Hand ruching
Ruched detailing is not just decoration for your dress-it can help create a figure-flattering silhouette. Our tailors do all ruching by hand to create the perfect shape and fullness on each dress.
Lining and boning
All our dresses are fully lined and structured to hold their shape and flatter your figure. Our full-skirted dresses use a hard net lining underneath a soft fabric that feels comfortable against the skin.
