Ebony

Ebony makes the case for the black wedding gown, and makes it with confidence. Black velvet, flocked with a tonal baroque pattern that only reveals itself in the light, is cut into a gathered halter neckline held by the finest straps.

The bodice meets the skirt at a narrow waist seam, then the velvet runs close over the hips into a column that opens in a thigh-high front slit and settles into a short train. From behind, the straps frame a low, deeply scooped back. A gown for the bride who wants evening drama from the first look.

Each Napa Valley gown is made individually to your measurements; two toile fittings, a final fitting and finishing are included. Starting prices, in US dollars, reflect the design as shown. Your final quotation depends on fabric, embellishment and any design changes you request. Accessories are excluded unless specified, and applicable taxes, shipping and rush fees are additional.

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.
