Hester Prynne Dress

Long dress in deep red, crafted from ultra-light, fluid chiffon that follows the body in vertical lines. The draped cowl neckline softly shapes the bust, while the neck tie creates a halter design that highlights the shoulders and décolletage.

Hand embroidery in red beads and bugle beads spreads across the front in organic shapes, reminiscent of moving flames or fiery foliage—a meticulous work that adds texture and pinpoint sparkle to the piece.

The bias cut provides comfort and subtly flares at the hips, creating an elegant silhouette that balances flow and intensity. The open back framed by the halter neckline adds drama, while the irregular hem elongates the figure. A dress that embodies passion and presence, evoking the strength of Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter.
