Bienvenue 20 · Couture

Odette

Odette is the white swan: soft, sculpted and impossibly romantic. A strapless bodice of ivory duchesse satin is ruched close to the body, then the skirt bursts into textured rose swirls of organza, gathering into a puffball effect around the hem before trailing into a chapel-length train.

Over the shoulders sits a bolero of textured organza with little cap sleeves, a feathered frame for the ceremony. Remove it and the strapless line beneath takes over for the evening.

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.
