For the days that matter
Mother of the bride, a civil ceremony, a christening, an anniversary — pieces made once, for a day that happens once.
Made to commission
Occasion pieces are commissioned rather than bought off a rail. We work from the event, the season and what you are comfortable wearing — and from the rest of the party, when there is one to dress alongside.
Expect a first fitting, twelve to sixteen weeks in the atelier, and a final fitting before delivery across Europe.
What we make
Dresses for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom, for a civil ceremony, a christening or an anniversary — made once, for one day, in the same atelier in Cascais as the maison's bridal gowns, and with the same hand-finishing.
When there is a party to dress — the bride's mother, a sister, the bridesmaids — we work from the whole picture, so the pieces belong together without matching.
The first fitting is in the atelier in Cascais or by video. From there, twelve to sixteen weeks of cutting and finishing, and a final fitting before the piece is delivered across Europe.
