A short A-line cocktail party dress in satin with an off-the-shoulder neckline and straps. The skirt falls from the empire seam to above the knee, and the neckline crosses the upper arms. The collarbone is left open above the band. It works for a cocktail hour or a graduation.
Over the lining, satin keeps the skirt in a straight line. The straps are cut narrow and stitched into the bodice edge. The band is stitched flat where it meets the arm. The dress fastens at the back with a zip. The detailing is set by hand, so it sits flat against the satin. Hand-set detailing keeps the detail sitting flat on the satin. The detailing 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.
