A custom gown for stylist and creative director Kelsey Ashley
Created around the woman of Proverbs 31, this commission was given complete creative freedom. The gown drew its language from the sea and from home: the curve of an opened clam shell in the scalloped neckline and keyhole, the ridged growth lines of the shell in the draped and gathered hip, pearl-beaded lace laid over sheer illusion across the hip, and the soft pleating of a satin lampshade in the train. A hand-laced corset back carries the silhouette from waist to fishtail, finished with sculpted satin roses at the hem.
