Cheongsams & tea-dresses.
Most of our bridal commissions begin twelve weeks before the wedding, with a long first conversation between the bride, often her mother, and us. We work through silhouette, sleeve, neckline, and the slip details that don't show in the final photographs but matter to the wearer all day.
For the tea ceremony we cut classic and modern cheongsams in mulberry silk, silk-cotton blends, or hand-loomed Penang silk. Embroidery is done in-house by our embroideress, who works in floss-silk over a paper-traced motif. The lining is always a breathable Bemberg.
For the reception we cut tea-length and full-length gowns in either silk crepe or duchesse satin. The bodice is often boned at the side-seam and centre-front; the skirt is constructed with two or three lining layers.
