Kentish Belle
Kentish Belle
Gold & Red Silk Damask 2-Piece Gown with Boned Bodice & Mermaid Mermaid Skirt — Size 10
A striking two-piece archival gown defined by its opulent contrast of rich red silk damask and structured gold silk elements, the Kentish Belle is a statement in craftsmanship and theatrical elegance.
The strapless bodice is cut with a refined sweetheart neckline and engineered with full internal and external boning, creating a sculpted, architectural silhouette. The exterior boning is deliberately highlighted in smooth gold duchess satin, continuing into a fully bordered bodice finish in matching satin. Covered buttons and loops, also crafted in gold duchess satin, run with precision to complete the structure. The bodice panels are constructed in richly woven red and gold damask, adding depth, texture, and regal contrast against the luminous gold satin framework.
The skirt flows in coordinated gold silk satin, cut to a mermaid silhouette that flares into a dramatic train, designed to echo the precision of the bodice while introducing movement and softness. Completing the ensemble is a coordinating wrap in red silk organza, finished with red and gold damask ends to mirror the bodice detailing and unify the full look.
This is a highly constructed couture-level archive piece where every element is deliberately matched — fabric, structure, and finish working as one cohesive design.
