Dawn Veil Dress

There are dresses that don't belong to this era, they appear as if they had come from a dream.
“Véu de Alvor” is made of this suspended time: between promise and premonition.

The bodice embroidered with gold threads recalls secret tapestries from forgotten gardens.
The skirt, in crystal organza, is laid in layers of veils and linings, light, ghostly, like the morning mist over an ancient field.
