Nevermore Dress

Long gown in silk chiffon with extensive hand embroidery, featuring impeccable construction that translates artisanal sophistication into every detail.
The bodice is covered in hand-applied stones, creating intense sparkle, while the skirt features black beaded floral embroidery that winds across the fabric like nocturnal vines.

The silhouette defines the body with precision: structured bodice, cinched waist, and a straight fall to the hem. Thin straps cross over the open back, balancing intensity and elegance. The acetate lining supports the silk’s drape and reinforces the contrasting texture of the embroidery.
A dramatic, almost literary dress, whose somber beauty echoes the verses of Edgar Allan Poe: Quoth the raven, “Nevermore.”
