The Ivory Rose is cut from silk velvet in a creamy winter white, and it is a dress for the evenings you want to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered entirely by hand in pure silk thread, a trailing stem of roses runs from the bust to the hip: full cream and pale-gold blooms, smaller buds, and leaves picked out in rose gold, champagne and silver. Silk thread carries a soft natural sheen that cotton cannot match, so the roses shimmer gently against the velvet pile — tone on tone from across a room, rich and detailed up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silhouette is simple and modern — fine straps, a V neckline and a matching V at the back, over a straight column that falls to the ankle with a slit at the back hem for ease.

This dress is worked in silk thread rather than cotton — finer, more lustrous and slower to stitch — with every petal drawn slowly into the velvet by hand, a process measured in hours rather than minutes, and produced in a very limited run. No two dresses are ever quite identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion.\u003c\/strong\u003e Christmas parties, black-tie evenings and New Year's Eve — and a quietly beautiful choice for a winter bride, a civil ceremony or a rehearsal dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silk velvet with a deep, light-catching pile, in ivory — \u003cstrong\u003e30% mulberry silk, 70% viscose\u003c\/strong\u003e.
