Calliope

Calliope, named for the Muse of epic poetry, is made for a grand entrance. A strapless corseted bodice of ruched tulle gives way to a slim column skirt, worked with hand-stitched appliqués in burnished bronze, that settles into a puddle train.

Over it falls a tulle overskirt, open at the front and flowing into a cathedral train, like a wash of light over the embroidery beneath. For the ceremony, a removable tulle chemise with cap sleeves veils the shoulders.

Each Turner gown is made individually to your measurements, with toile fittings to refine its silhouette and fit. Prices shown are starting prices in US dollars for the design as shown. Your final quotation depends on the fabrics and embellishments you choose and any agreed changes to the design, all of which can be discussed at your consultation. Accessories, shipping and applicable taxes are quoted separately.

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.
