This dress explores the tension between structure and softness. An airy sheer black chiffon overlay floats above a pale vintage floral cotton poplin, creating a visual interplay between darkness and light, fragility and nostalgia. The built-in bloomers, both functional and symbolic, reference historical undergarments while reframing them within a modern silhouette. Gothic in tone yet delicate in execution, the gown invites a dialogue between past and present.
