By Candlelight
Why we fit every gown by candlelight before it leaves the salon — and what warm light reveals that daylight hides.
Our gowns are made for the evening, so we judge them in the evening.
Warm light is honest
Candlelight is low and warm. It shows every ripple in a seam and every place where velvet pile has been brushed the wrong way. What passes by candlelight passes anywhere.
Colour after dark
Black velvet turns espresso, ivory turns to champagne and gold thread wakes up. We choose our palette for how it looks at nine in the evening, not at noon.
The last fitting
Before a client takes a gown home, the salon lights are lowered and the candles lit. It is the last fitting, and our favourite.
