Allium ~ Golden Wedding Dress
A unique wedding dress. It has a strange, ethereal lightness, and a timeless shape, reminiscent of celtic priestesses, of floating greek goddesses, long silk gowns blowing in the wind.
It is composed of two layers of silk fabric. The bottom layer is a silk crepe de chine I hand dyed using golden onions. The color is a lush, stunning golden. It is cut in a sleek a-line shape.
The top layer is a sheer crepe chiffon, light, breezy, flowing and loose. The two layers are connected only at the neckline, and so the top layer moves and flows with any small movement or breath of air.
The belt, pictured in the last photo, is included.
The same design is available in other colors as well, you can see an ivory version (with a silk sash) here, and a blush/ivory version, (with a hemp sash) here. If you’d like a custom dyed dress, do contact me!
• MATERIALS & CARE:
100% silk. Naturally dyed with onion peels.
Dry-clean only. Iron with a lot of steam on medium setting. Please test on an inner part of the garment.
• MEASUREMENTS:
If your wedding is less then 6 weeks away, please contact me before placing your order.
I will email you a detailed list of the measurements and information I need once you place the order. Elements may be customised.
• SHIPPING:
I will use expedited Fedex shipping, it will deliver in about 3-4 workdays in most parts of the world. Please provide a physical address (not a P.O. box).

Dear Maria Lucia,
Il mio più profondo e sincero ringraziamento per un vestito così meraviglioso. (I am trusting Google Translate to get that right). I cannot thank you enough for such exquisite work. You are truly an artisan in the Old World tradition – such delicate and elegant craftsmanship. The color is stunning and the feel of the dress is unbelievable. The fit is magnificent and the length is exactly right. I could not be happier for it is beyond anything I could have expected. It will truly be an honor to wear this at my daughter’s wedding – and every occasion possible afterwards! And thank you for such excellent service – the handcrafted box is such a thoughtful thing to do. I will cherish that as well, knowing it is protecting my most treasured dress.
Cordiali saluti e molto migliori auguri,
Kate
