Bienvenue 20 · Couture

Alexandria

Alexandria is couture in layers. A strapless bodice in a modified A-line is overlaid with silk organza and hand-stitched with Swarovski-embellished lace appliqués, the organza flowing into a chapel train over an underdress of zibeline with its own puddle train.

Over the shoulders goes a removable organza chemise with three-quarter sleeves, its lace appliqués echoing the bodice, for a covered elegance at the ceremony. Lift it away and the strapless gown stands alone for the celebration.

Each Bienvenue gown is made individually to your measurements, with two toile fittings to refine the fit before it is made in your chosen fabrics. Starting prices, in US dollars, reflect the design as shown, including any accompanying pieces listed with it. Your final quotation depends on fabric, embellishment and any design changes you request. Veils and other accessories are priced separately unless specified.

A couture gown is made for one bride. The gowns shown here are illustrations of what the atelier does, not a catalogue: bring the one you love to your consultation as a starting point, and Yemi will change as much or as little of it as it takes to arrive at a gown that is uniquely yours.
