Clio

Clio, Muse of history, plays with time: short at the front, long at the back. A strapless corseted bodice is covered in guipure lace appliqués, hand-stitched and embellished with Swarovski crystals, above a circular skirt of layered tulle cut high-low, so it lifts to the ankle at the front and sweeps into a train behind.

Over it goes a long-sleeved jacket of sheer tulle with a boat neckline, its lace scattered down the arms and its hem mirroring the high-low line of the skirt. Remove it for a strapless silhouette that is made for dancing.

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.

    Side

    Side
  • Clio from behind, facing the château across its lake: covered buttons down the sheer jacket and the layered tulle skirt falling into a train.
    Back
