Bienvenue 20 · Couture

Odile

Odile is the black swan of the collection, and she knows it. A strapless bodice of white duchesse satin is finely ruched over an integral corset, and black lace appliqués, hand-stitched in an asymmetric arrangement, climb from the hip towards the heart.

The skirt flares low into a fishtail of many tulle layers, the black lace scattered across it like petals, before settling into a chapel-length train. Down the back runs a long column of covered buttons. Daring, graphic and utterly bridal.

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.
