Whitney (lace)
This lace gown is defined by the contrast between delicate lace and highly structured corsetry. Layers of floral lace are placed over a sculpted corset, allowing the softness of the textile to sit against the precision of the underlying construction. The result is a silhouette that feels romantic in appearance, yet highly controlled in its shape.
The bodice features a sweetheart neckline and a lace-covered corset with pronounced boning channels that remain visible beneath the lace. Rather than concealing the structure, the lace works with it, highlighting the shape of each corset panel and drawing attention to the craftsmanship of the bodice. The corset extends into a curved dropped waist, where the lace continues uninterrupted into the skirt, creating a seamless transition between bodice and gown.
The skirt is cut with generous fullness and covered entirely in the same floral lace, creating continuity throughout the design. The placement of the lace allows the texture and pattern to remain visible from every angle, while the lace-up back reinforces the corseted nature of the gown and allows for a personalised fit.
