Overall Design

 

This bespoke wedding dress is a graceful and elegant creation, carefully designed to combine classic bridal charm with a vibrant, contemporary twist. The dress features a knee-length circular skirt and a closely tailored bodice that together form a silhouette both flattering and comfortable. Crafted with precision and artistry, this ensemble showcases the individuality and joyful spirit of the wearer, celebrating not only the occasion but also the personality behind it.

 

Choice of Fabrics

 

The selection of fabrics lies at the heart of this dress. It is made from 100% silk crepe back satin in a distinctive woodbine green—an earthy yet joyful tone that offers a refreshing departure from traditional white, whilst remaining entirely bridal in its refined softness. The dress is fully lined and layered with silk crinkled chiffon in the same woodbine hue, giving the skirt an airy, fluid movement as it sways with each step.

This chiffon overlay softens the more structured satin base, adding visual depth and a delicate sense of flow to the lower half of the garment. The hem of the chiffon is finished on the bias with matching satin binding, ensuring durability whilst maintaining softness of line.

Intricate Lacework

 

One of the most striking features is the intricate lacework that unites the bodice and sleeves into a seamless upper piece. Ivory embroidered bridal lace (Dacio) is laid over the woodbine satin, forming a sheer yet detailed layer that graces the shoulders, arms, and neckline. Rather than being stitched as a separate bolero or overlay, the lace is integrated into the design, creating a cohesive, one-piece construction.

The floral and leafy motifs are cut along their natural edges, producing an organic finish to the sleeves and neckline. This design decision highlights the natural beauty of the lace and evokes the sense of blooming vines cascading gently over the skin.

Neckline and Back Details

 

The neckline adopts a wide bateau style, opening the shoulders and collarbone in a graceful arc. It frames the face with sophistication whilst retaining demure elegance. At the back, a single delicate hook-and-eye closure secures the lace, leaving a subtle keyhole opening that offers a refined glimpse of the upper back.

A concealed zip runs from below the neckline to the hips, ensuring both ease of dressing and a smooth fit. Along one side of the zip, a row of small, silk-covered buttons provides a decorative touch, reinforcing the couture nature of the garment.

Sleeves with Botanical Finish

 

The sleeves extend slightly beyond the elbow and are crafted entirely from ivory lace, unlined so that the embroidery rests lightly against the skin. The lace edges follow the natural curves of the pattern without hemming, creating an organic, petal-like finish. This detail softens the overall shape and allows the fine embroidery to take centre stage, lending the sleeves a botanical delicacy.

Harmony of Colour and Texture

 

The interplay between the lush woodbine green silk and the soft ivory lace achieves a balanced harmony of colour and texture, tradition and individuality. The vibrant hue introduces a modern, playful character, whilst the lace lends timeless bridal refinement. The finished look is both joyful and sophisticated—perfect for a bride who embraces elegance with confidence and chooses a style that reflects her unique personality.

Craftsmanship and Significance

 

Every stitch of this gown speaks of the thoughtful craftsmanship and artistic sensitivity that shaped it. From the flowing skirt to the finely worked lace, this bespoke wedding dress, created by an experienced dressmaker in London, is not only a celebration of love but also a tribute to the woman wearing it.
