A high-low ball gown cocktail dress in satin and tulle with a bateau neckline and cap sleeves. Applique runs across the bodice, and the full skirt falls from the empire seam with the front hem above the knee. Cut as a bateau, the neckline sits high on the collarbone. It suits a cocktail party or a semi-formal celebration.
Tulle gives the skirt its shape over the satin lining, so the hem keeps its spread. The cap sleeves are lined at the edge. The applique is fixed flat rather than raised. The back fastens with a zip. The tulle lining carries the shape, which keeps the hem sitting straight. With tulle lining below, the hem keeps an even line. The applique is set by hand, so it sits flat against the satin. Hand-set applique keeps the detail sitting flat on the satin.
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.
