Made in highly limited editions sometimes unique version, our dresses are one-of-a kind
Selecting the softest cottons, most elegant velvets, precious tulle and organza and most gorgeous Liberty prints, only the best of fabrics are used for our dresses.
Made with traditional couture techniques, our dresses are of high quality. All our hems are stitched by and to obtain a completely invisible seam, as clean from the inside as from the outside
Until the very last button, each and every detail matters. Our buttons are self covered in fabric matching the dress colours, two additional buttons are discreetly sewn in the side hem in case of lose and some of our dresses come with a small extra loop button for a perfect closing
Smocked or embroidered, each one is a real work of art. The fabric is manually pleated with great delicacy, our embroideries are made with traditional hoops. The result is so precise that we talk “peinture à l’aiguille” meaning needle painting. Our amandine dresses also have refined embroideries upon the sleeves.
Thank a handmade cotton lining, all our dresses twirl making little girls feel like princesses! Our Netti dress even have additional tulle underlayer sewn upon the lining creating a wide and airy skirt.
As pretty from front and back, a delicate bow with the shape of butterfly wings adds a chic finishing touch. It is one of our signature detail.
