Elegant, photographed all day, and not the same dress as the other ninety guests.
Formal usually means a hem below the knee and covered shoulders in a church; cocktail means anything from a mini to a midi as long as the fabric is not casual. When in doubt, navy midi and gold hardware clears every bar in Europe without asking anyone.
Sequins photograph as party; hand-set metal photographs as craft. A single row of gold studs on an empire line catches the same light and says something completely different about the person wearing it.
Anything near white is still risky unless the couple has said otherwise. Black is fine for evening receptions in most of Europe and unwise in a few regions. Navy with gold is the choice that has never once caused a problem.
All our pieces are cotton: they crease in a car and recover in twenty minutes on a hanger. Steam rather than iron, and never over the studs. If a stud goes missing on the dance floor, we set it back free.
Every stud fixed by hand through the fabric, with an internal washer. Cut, sewn and finished in our atelier.
No prints, no logos. The hardware is the only signature, stamped in gold-finish knurled metal.
A spare stud in every box. If you ever lose one, we re-set it free, forever.
