The piece, in detail.
Photographed on our own commission, at our own bench. Click any image to inspect it down to the stitch.
How this piece is actually built.
Each butterfly is made, placed and secured individually over a draped silk base, denser at the bodice and scattering toward the hem so the gown reads alive rather than tiled. The base gown is finished couture-clean underneath, so the embellishment is the surface, not the structure.
What it costs, stated plainly.
The same bench, your version.
The density, the palette and the creature are yours to choose. The same build logic has carried florals and birds. Cut to your measurements.
Asked before every commission.
Can it be made in my size?
Yes. Every commission is cut to your measurements, taken by guided video call or our measurement sheet. There is no size chart involved, and one round of fit alterations is included.
Can I change the colors or the fabric?
Yes. Ground color, embellishment palette and fabric are chosen with you before anything is cut, with options sourced from France, Italy and Japan.
What does it cost and how long does it take?
From $4,200, with delivered commissions typically $5,000 to $8,000 depending on handwork density, over 7 to 10 weeks. You receive a fixed quote within 48 hours, before any commitment.
