Wu Zetian Women's Dress Tuxedo Check with White Queen Hand Smocking
Pre-order, Expected Early November
For women with an empire state of mind. Named after the only woman to rule China’s empire in her own right, comes this striking smocked frock. The silhouette takes its shape from the spectacular triangular hand-smocked panel on the front and back which pleats acres of deliciously drapey gingham into a twirl-tastic maxi dress. The lattice smocking in a triangle form is incredibly difficult technically - as it required the stitches to be stepped up with each pleat - and can only be undertaken by our most skilled artisans. The front button placket, tiny buttons, smocked cuffs and dainty frill collar keep the silhouette streamlined, skilfully balancing the dramatic volume to create a vision as commanding and beguiling as the woman she was named after.
