Calanthe

Large flowers, close up.

Calanthe is for the bride who wants a dress that reads from the back of the room and still holds up at arm's length. Three-dimensional lace is stitched by hand across the whole gown, with oversized flowers set on a fitted bodice. The V narrows toward the waist, a scoop back opens the shape, and thick straps carry lace detail and a bow. The waterfall train shifts between blush and beige as it moves.

Because the dress has to convince the woman looking in the mirror first.
