How this dress fits
The Seraphine is our most generous shape. It is an oversized cocoon, cut deliberately wide to drape away from the body — it will feel considerably roomier than a standard dress, and that is the whole point of it. Take your usual UK size, or size down if you would prefer less volume. Please do not size up.
Not your size? Made to measure
This dress is cut in UK 8–14 — but our atelier will make it from a UK 6 to a UK 18, to your own measurements, for £50 more. Ready in the same 3–4 weeks.
Our maxi dresses fall to around 135cm, which is long on a shorter frame. We set the length to you at no extra cost — shorter if you are petite, longer if you intend to wear a heel. And if your bust, waist and hips fall in three different sizes, that is precisely what a commission is for.
Each Seraphine Dusty Rose is made to order in Vietnam and will be with you within 3 weeks of ordering, including UK delivery time.
There is a colour that belongs to no single mood — part blush, part mauve, part something entirely its own. The Seraphine Dusty Rose is hand-dyed in small batches by Vietnamese artisans, each piece absorbing the pigment differently, so the rose deepens at the drape and lightens where the satin catches the light. It is a colour that reads differently at noon and by candlelight, in a sunlit garden and at the threshold of an evening — always beautiful, never quite fixed.
The Seraphine is built on volume — a generous cocoon silhouette that falls 135 centimetres in a wide, unhurried sweep. Short kimono-style cap sleeves rise from a clean round neckline, releasing the fabric into a billowing body that moves entirely on its own terms. There is no zip, no fastening: the dress is pulled on and falls into place naturally, the weight of the mulberry silk blend doing all the work. Hidden side pockets sit seamlessly within the seam, invisible from the outside.
The Seraphine is a dress for women who do not dress to be contained. It is the choice for a summer wedding where the garden stretches into the evening, for a gallery opening, for a long dinner lit by taper candles. It pairs effortlessly with pearl or silver jewellery and fine court shoes — or, in the right setting, with nothing at all beyond its own considerable presence.
Like everything in the Silk & Bears collection, the Seraphine Dusty Rose is handmade in Vietnam using traditional artisan techniques passed down across generations. The mulberry silk blend is woven and then hand-dyed, giving each dress a depth of tone that no industrial process can replicate. It is, in the truest sense, a singular piece — extraordinary in its feel, entirely its own in colour.
