the orchids

Modern in the silhouette, yet whimsical in the embellishment, this dusty pink design cut from a rich crepe cady is a beautiful juxtaposition of ideas. From the waist up, the sheer top is carefully crafted with complex 3D embroidery and embellishment of light-catching floral artwork, while the bottom half of the gown speaks an understated elegance with emphasis on a clean-cut drape.Powered by <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1" title="Froala Editor">Froala Editor</a>

ODILE

the ballet blanc

Created with over 50 yards of fine black tulle, this gown cascades to the ground in a dramatic reinterpretation of the classic ballet tutu. The silhouette is carefully balanced with a defined bodice that cinches at the waistline and flares out in a pronounced manner from the skirt down. Using a combination of pliss&eacute; tulle against soft tulle panels the skirt creates depth and volume with ease. A pleated plunging neckline which contours the chest beautifully, is intricately embellished with glittering silver flower details for that extra touch of sparkle and sheen.Powered by <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1" title="Froala Editor">Froala Editor</a>

THE TUTU

A direct translation of the swan lake ballet, this gown illustrates the timeless beauty of the swan character, with plush pink boa feathers delicately hand- sewn onto an embellished and exquisite french lace, against the struggle and confinement of the evil spell, through the use of a criss-cross lace-up ribbon accent. This juxtaposition creates a wonderful contradiction of softness against hardness. The details playing the major role here, the silhouette is left more natural and free flowing with a cinched waist and an ease from the waist down.Powered by <a href="https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor?pb=1" title="Froala Editor">Froala Editor</a>
