PRE-ORDER ALERT! This garment will be available in late October 2026. I am perfecting it in my studio right now!
Cut from 100% charmeuse silk, this is the fabric that glows when the light hits it, slips over the skin like water, and drapes the way nothing synthetic can. A deep V-neckline is framed by a cascade of subtle ruffles that spills from the shoulder, down the bodice, and along the skirt. The gathered waist defines you without squeezing, and the high-low hem swirls with every step.
It looks like a dress that took a stylist an hour. It takes about ninety seconds and a side zip. Wear it to a wedding, a gala, a dinner where you want to be remembered, or a date night that turns into dancing. Belt it for definition, or let it float.
The color is emerald green, black or ivory: rich and jewel-toned, with the natural sheen only real silk has.
Why you'll love it:
- 100% charmeuse silk: luminous, breathable, and soft on the skin
- Natural fiber with no plastic and no microplastics, made to be kept, not tossed in two seasons
- Deep V-neckline with a sculptural ruffle that flatters and frames
- Gathered waist and flowing skirt for an easy, forgiving silhouette
- High-low ruffled hem that moves beautifully
- Side zip closure for a clean line and easy on and off
Styling: Strappy heels, gold statement earrings, and a slim belt for an evening look. For daytime, add a leather jacket and flat sandals. For a black-tie event, add statement jewelry.
Fit & Care:
- Fit: true to size yet relaxed, forgiving.
- Length: mid-calf in back, above the knee slit in front
- Lining: silk, top only
- Care: dry clean recommended

Most pieces ship within 1-5 business days. For made-to-order pieces or items requiring specific sizing, delivery takes around 10 business days (2 weeks). We'll email you as soon as your order ships with tracking information. We're getting faster all the time too!
Why does it take this long? Because we make pieces to order in small batches in NYC, not pulled from a warehouse. This ensures quality and reduces waste.
