Filled With Dynamic Details
Neckline
The beauty of this dress begins at the neckline, which features a unique double-round design. This allows the dress to retain a sense of modesty that was of the utmost importance in the Edwardian Era. 100% unique and developed in-house by Nataya, it is further accented by charming hand-embroidered scalloped edges. The openness of the neckline means it elevates the appearance of any vintage-inspired necklace.
Curved Lace Applique
The curved lace is a testament to Nataya’s craftsmanship and passionate attention to detail. This feature will give you a beautiful elongated bodice, creating a striking Downton Abbey-esque outward appearance.
The underlay of the dress is made from a crepe fabric - a lightweight fabric that has enough structure to keep the wearer comfortable. This underlayer is then paired with an ethereal tulle overlay, which comes to life thanks to exquisite details like cascading custom chain-stitch embroidery.
Sleeves
The sleeves are another detail that was carefully considered. Made from a luxurious sheer fabric, they are exceptionally lightweight but also maintain a striking sense of modesty and comfort. They are accented by custom-designed embroidery and feature a flattering ¾ length cut so that your delicate wrists and hands always remain on display.
Empire Waist
A “Modified Empire” silhouette is the cornerstone of this exceptionally figure-flattering design. With a seam located at a woman’s natural waist, it accents the bust while also flattening the stomach and lengthening the look. Essentially, it combines the best parts of an Empire Waistline with the best parts of an A-line silhouette. A bit of extra volume near the hemline adds extra drama to this inherently understated style.
Peekaboo Embroidery
Finally, you’ll also find a bit of peekaboo embroidery located at the bottom of the dress. Not only does this detail tie the entire look together, but it also ensures that the eye of the onlooker travels down the entirety of the dress when taking it in. By including this thoughtful detail, the look of the dress is elevated and the wearer appears even more refined.
