The Spectre Dress

£950.00

The Spectre Dress is a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind garment that plays on transparency, texture, and dramatic asymmetry, built exclusively from high-quality remnant and deadstock materials.

Silhouette & Texture: This dress features a unique high-low, asymmetric silhouette with a dramatic drop. The body is an architectural construction, utilising contrasting materials:

The Pleated Core: The main structure is formed from pleated mixed-fibre deadstock fabric, creating sharp, defining, horizontal and diagonal lines that mould the figure.

The Sheer Panels: The waistline and back features a daring insert of sheer 100% silk remnant, introducing a delicate, sensual contrast and creating a phantom-like effect (hence, Spectre).

The Print Section: Panels of animal print Jacquard weave mixed-fibre end-of-a-roll fabric are strategically integrated, adding an unexpected, subtle pattern play and grounding the design with a fierce texture.

The Finish: The garment zips up the front, maintaining a sleek, tailored fit through the bodice before falling into its voluminous, asymmetric skirt.

This piece is a sustainable couture creation—a wearable work of art for the discerning collector.

Size: S/M Waist - 27.5'/70cm, Length - front from waist down 16'/40.5cm + back from neck down 57'/145cm

Care instructions: Specialist Dry Cleaning Only. The mix of pleated material and the delicate 100% silk sheer panel cannot withstand machine washing or hand washing without risking damage, shrinkage, or loss of the permanent pleats. Handle the sheer silk sections and the pleated fabric with extreme care to avoid snags or permanent creasing. Do not iron the pleated sections. Use a garment steamer only on a low setting for the flat, non-pleated sections, holding it far from the silk to avoid heat damage. Store hung on a padded hanger, ensuring the weight of the asymmetric skirt does not pull or stretch the sheer silk panel.
