Bienvenue 20 · Couture

Giselle

Giselle is the ballerina of the collection: light on her feet and made to dance. A strapless corseted bodice is ruched and embellished with Swarovski crystal lace appliqués, and the full skirt of ivory tulle over champagne zibeline stops at tea length, its hem edged with lace, to show off the shoes.

Over the bodice goes a removable chemise of ivory tulle with cap sleeves, sheer and delicate, for a softer neckline at the ceremony. Behind, the corset laces up the back.

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.
