“Sunset à Calvi” golden dress

Boat necks, or “smiling necklines” as I like to call them, are for me the ultimate, most sensuous detail in feminine couture. A symbol of modesty and decency, the boat neck can become an unstoppable weapon of seduction, subtly revealing a few inches of skin, of a shoulder…

For my pencil dress “Sunset a Calvi”, I shaped the ‘smiling neckline’ I’ve been dreaming of, the one that fascinates me in 40’s and 50’s fashion. I have added an extra touch of glamour by hollowing out a V shape at the back, revealing the nape of the neck… This design has a very marked and hollowed out waist, underlined by a satin trim, a recurring detail of this collection. ¾ sleeves are my guilty pleasure, but here I have adjusted them to my liking – a perfect length and elbowed shaped to follow the arm’s movements without being too tight. The fabric of this dress is unbelievably shiny, made of a rich gold and brown silk – a nod to warm and flaming Autumn tones.

This design comes in 2 version: golden flowers on a glossy dark chocolate backdrop with its opposite: dark chocolate flowers on a gold backdrop.
