Lenten Rose

Elegant Satin Empire Column Dress with Embroidered Silk – Size 10

The Lenten Rose is an elegant satin empire column dress designed with a timeless, structured silhouette. Cut in an empire line, it falls into a long, clean column shape that reflects the simplicity and balance of its construction.

The bodice and short sleeves are crafted in embroidered pure silk, featuring lustrous threadwork that subtly complements the satin within the design. The skirt is cut in smooth satin, creating a contrast in texture while maintaining a cohesive, refined finish throughout the dress.

The square neckline creates a composed frame, while two precise satin pleats sit at the seam just beneath the bodice, forming a deliberate structural detail within the transition from silk to satin.

Refined piped edges define the construction, and a row of covered buttons completes the back with a traditional couture finish. The overall effect is clean and considered, with emphasis on fabric contrast, cut, and detailing.
