Poppy Gown

Strapless column gown in silk, hand-embroidered poppies, corset

The Poppy Gown is a strapless column gown in 100% silk faille, cut in a deep cobalt blue that holds its depth across a full-length silhouette. A sculptural neckband frames the sweetheart décolletage, giving the strapless bodice a clean, architectural finish.

Across the body, 20 blooming flowers, 30 buds, and 200 leaves are hand-embroidered in poppy motifs by skilled artisans in India, then set with seed beads and crystals that shift with movement. The work required over 75 hours of hand embroidery per gown. The lining is 100% silk habotai; the closure is an invisible zipper at center back.

A built-in corset structure runs through the bodice, providing sculpted support without the need for additional foundation pieces. The silhouette is narrow through the body and falls to a maxi length, making the Poppy Gown a considered choice for a formal gala, black-tie dinner, or wedding where floor-length occasion wear is called for. The gown pairs with the Liza organza bolero or the Carmela chiffon shawl in red or blue, both of which carry the poppy embroidery vocabulary into a layered look.
