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 Emerald Jade is made to order in Vietnam and will be with you within 3 weeks of ordering, including UK delivery time.
There are greens that shout, and there are greens that command. The Seraphine Emerald Jade belongs entirely to the latter. Woven in a traditional Vietnamese jacquard — its surface covered in a repeating geometric floral motif — and then hand-dyed in a deep, saturate emerald, this dress is a study in controlled opulence. The dye settles differently across the raised and flat weaves of the jacquard, so the pattern reveals itself in shifting tones: jade in the light, forest green in the shadow, always alive.
The Seraphine silhouette is one of generous volume — a wide cocoon that falls 135 centimetres from a round neckline, with short kimono-style cap sleeves that release the fabric into a sweeping, unhurried body. There is no zip, no fastening: the dress slips on, and the weight of the mulberry silk blend jacquard does the rest, draping with the quiet authority of a fabric woven, dyed, and finished entirely by hand. Hidden side pockets sit seamlessly within the seam, invisible from the outside.
The Emerald Jade is a statement dress that makes no effort to announce itself — it simply arrives, and the room adjusts. Worn to a black-tie occasion, a winter wedding, or a formal dinner, it brings the kind of considered luxury that never feels overdone. A pearl necklace, black strappy heels, and nothing more are needed.
Handmade in Vietnam by artisans whose craft spans generations, the Seraphine Emerald Jade is the product of two distinct skills: the jacquard weaver and the hand-dyer, working in sequence. The result is a dress that carries within it the full depth of that tradition — as rich in its making as it is in its colour.
