Inspired by the passionate rhythm and dramatic flair of the Argentine tango, this design embraces a romantic and unconventional silhouette. The upper garment is crafted from two distinct textiles: black corded lace and black beaded fabric, each backed onto tulle. These materials are integrated across the bodice and down the arms through precise hand-stitching, creating a unified surface rich in texture and detail.
Echoing the veil’s fluidity, the sleeves transition into gloves, elongating the silhouette and enhancing its theatricality. The arms are embellished with delicate, eucalyptus-inspired embroideries made from silk-wrapped wire and laser-cut organdy circles, each secured with beads and hand stitching.The skirt, draped in duchess silk, contrasts front and back: the rear features two voluminous, bow-like drapes that cascade outward, adding sculptural drama. At the waist, black corded lace—backed with organza and hand-appliquéd—creates a smooth, harmonious transition from bodice to skirt, unifying the ensemble.
