Valcourt

Held by the shoulders alone.

Cut so low at the back that the gown hangs entirely from the shoulder seams. Those two seams are reinforced three times and fitted last, on you, standing.

$14,900estimate · six fittings included

Train Chapel

Veil Cathedral

The cloth
Crisp and faintly transparent. It takes a pleat permanently, which is the whole point of using it — the shape is pressed in, not sewn in.
Measurements & fit
Sizes cut
US 0 – 20, made to measure
Bodice
Unboned, shoulder-supported
Train
Chapel, 1.4 m
Hand-work
1,180 hours
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 1–4

The back

The opening is drawn on you. It is the only measurement we refuse to take from a chart.

Weeks 5–10

The shoulders

Three rows of reinforcement, hidden in the seam allowance. This is what carries the gown.

Weeks 11–17

Balance

Fitted seated and standing — an open back that behaves at the altar can fail at dinner.

Weeks 18–22

The finish

Every internal edge is bound, because in this gown the inside is visible.

Cut from the same hand
