I've remixed my Empress Dress to make it more accessible. Crafted from lace by Klauber Bros., est. 1859, this dress features an exquisite floral pattern. The bodice has fine black satin borders that define and flatter, while a halter neckline framed in delicate lace butterflies dotted with beads and demi-sequins adds an unexpected touch of whimsy to the sophistication. The keyhole opening down the back is elegant and sensual.

Lined in pale pink to evoke French femininity, this dress is designed for the woman who knows that true luxury isn't about logos or trends. It's about how you feel when you walk into a room. 

Details:

  • Intricate, exquisite, black floral lace
  • Bodice framed in black silk borders
  • Beaded lace butterfly and sequin detail at halter neck and hemline
  • Dramatic keyhole back opening
  • Pale pink lining from bust to knee
  • Made in micro-batches in NYC's Garment District by couture sewers
  • Dry clean only

Fit: True to size. Falls just below the knee.

Shipping

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.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship to most countries worldwide. International shipping typically takes 7-14 business days depending on your location. Customs duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer and vary by country.

How much does shipping cost?
