The layers of fabric carefully descend into a transition of colors, from black to dark grey and light grey at the bottom, as if to replicate the transformation from human to swan. The pleated fitted bodice is lined with a boned corset giving it a very defined silhouette against the dramatic volume from the waist down.

A black satin ribbon wraps around the waistline criss-crossing across the front and back, giving the overall gown a slightly edgy and dark mood.

As the name suggests, the intricate draping on this gown resembles that of a flowing dance. The drapes fall in a luxurious, liquid manner and ripple around the body in a wrap-effect.

As the name suggests, this showstopper takes forefront and centre stage. Made from hundreds of delicate layers of pink tulle and an internal boned bodice, this gown falls to the floor in voluminous, tutu-inspired tiers, each one trimmed to create a gradual flow.

Inspired by the swan lake ballet, this gown is a modern interpretation of the classic tutu costume worn by the prima ballerina in the leading role. Cut from an elegant white tulle, this gown has a delicate lightness in spite of the floor-skimming length and opulent feathers.
The fitted bodice is entirely embellished with authentic boa feathers in a gradient color-scheme, from white to greys to black, and back out again. They are carefully hand-sewn onto the bodice making it appear as though they are a second skin. A final touch of glamour is added with luxurious black beads and a black velvet belt cinching at the waist.
