Lenoir
One seam, and nothing else.
Cut on the bias from a single width of crepe. There is one seam, it runs the length of the back, and it is closed by hand over four days. Everything this gown does, it does with drape.

The cloth
Matte, fluid, unforgiving. Cut on the bias it moves with every step, but it shows a badly set seam from across a room, so every one is closed by hand.

Care & preservation
Silk of this weight is cleaned by hand only. After the wedding we collect the gown, clean it in the salon and seal it in an acid-free box — included for the first year. Never store it on a hanger; the weight of the train will pull the shoulder seams within a season.
Delivery & timeline
From first fitting to final press is twenty-two weeks. Book at least seven months before the date so there is room for a second body change. Rush work is possible for a fee, but it costs the second fitting.
How this one is made.
Weeks 1–3
The pattern
Drafted flat to your measurements, then hung on the stand for a week so the bias can drop before anything is cut.
Weeks 4–9
The one seam
Closed by hand at eleven stitches per inch. If it puckers anywhere, the panel is cut again.
Weeks 10–16
Three fittings
Hem, shoulder, back. The gown is re-hung between each so the bias settles again.
Weeks 17–22
The press
Steamed over a padded form for two days, then hung in the salon until the morning of the wedding.
