EMPRESS GOWN CHROMA COLLECTION
The beautiful colors of these gowns were made with a two step method. First we bundle the gown in flower petals and steamed over 2-4 hours. A slow process where we intentionally add water and move the bundle for optimal color extraction. Then we wait a day while the bundle cools and the colors settle. Once this feels complete, the bundle is submerged in various dye pots. Each color takes one day to complete. The end result is always a surprise, and one of the many reasons I love working with botanical dyes.
This style has a beautiful swirly drape, accentuated by the drop sleeves. Wear it to ceremony, wear it to lounge in, or simply wear it to feel like an Empress!

Roses & Mums - Through out the year I save the devotional flowers used in ceremonies. This year I had an abundance of roses and chrysanthemums. From pink to red, and yellow to white, the softness of each petal is captured beautifully during the bundle & steam process in this gown. Nothing else added.
