Royal blue velvet Afghan dress with gold embroidery and mirror work

Custom made. Price on request.

A royal blue velvet Afghan dress with a tonal embossed floral pattern through the pile. A black panel edged in gold braid frames the bodice like a waistcoat, worked with mirrors and gold cording, with three round mirrors down the centre front below a round neckline. The skirt gathers from a raised waist and falls to the calf, and the long sleeves and the hem carry matching black and gold bands with mirror work and beaded fringe. It is custom tailored to your measurements.

Made to measure

Every piece starts with a consultation at the studio in Officer, where we talk through the design, the fabric and your date. We take your measurements and cut to them, then fit the piece once or twice before it is finished.

Typical timeline: Four to eight weeks, depending on the embroidery and trim work.

Bring the shoes and undergarments you will wear with it, so the length and fit are set correctly.
