Bienvenue 20 · Couture

Irina

Irina lets the fabric speak. A gently shaped strapless neckline gives way to a draped bodice, with diagonal folds that define the waist before the satin opens into a full A-line skirt. Delicate lace appliqués accent the bodice, waist and skirt, kept sparing so that the lustre of the satin and the sweep of the silhouette stay the focus.

For the ceremony, a sheer top with long sleeves veils the shoulders; take it away for a strapless line at the reception.

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.
