Ekatarina

Ekatarina is all contrast: sculptural zibeline against the soft, cloudlike texture of ruched organza. A strapless, fitted bodice leads into a ruched organza skirt cut in a trumpet silhouette at the front, while a false full overskirt in zibeline opens around it, adding volume and a sweeping train behind, gathered at the waist into a sculpted bow.

Pink- and crystal-beaded appliqués scatter across bodice and skirt, bringing a blush of colour and a little sparkle to a gown that is romantic and quietly figure-enhancing.

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.
