Bespoke Ballgowns & Millinery
A collaboration in couture occasion dressing
An exceptional occasion calls for an exceptional ensemble.
Working in collaboration with House of White Rose, we offer a considered approach to bespoke design, bringing together the artistry of couture dressmaking and individually designed millinery.
From the first consultation to the final fitting, every element is created with the wearer, the occasion and the overall silhouette in mind. The gown and millinery are developed as one complete vision, allowing colour, proportion, texture and detail to come together seamlessly.
The Art of the Complete Look
A bespoke gown is only one part of an occasion ensemble. The right millinery can transform its character, adding balance, presence and a distinctive finishing touch.
Together we work closely with each client to develop a look that feels entirely personal - from the shape and movement of the gown to the scale, colour and sculptural qualities of the headpiece.
Each commission is approached individually, with careful attention to the details that make an ensemble feel truly unique.
The Bespoke Experience
Consultation
We begin by understanding the occasion, the setting and your personal style. This is an opportunity to discuss the vision for the gown and millinery, alongside any ideas, references or details that inspire you.
Design
The gown and millinery are considered together from the outset. Silhouette, colour, fabric and embellishment inform the design of the headpiece to complement and enhance the gown.
Creation
The gown is designed & crafted by House of White Rose founder and designer Marina, while I create the accompanying bespoke millinery by hand. Throughout the process, we maintain a close dialogue to ensure that every element works harmoniously as part of the final ensemble.
The Final Ensemble
The result is a complete, individual look created specifically for you and your occasion - from the gown to the final detail of the hat.

This collaboration is available for everyone who is seeking a truly individual ensemble for:
- Black-tie occasions

A Look Created Just For You
