Before you even get to the shape, it’s the colour. It's a soft, silvery-grey duchesse satin fabric on top and silk chiffon on the bottom - so it moves beautifully as you do. Not too obvious, not too theatrical, just mildly outstanding. You don’t see it often, and that’s exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1013\" data-start=\"700\"\u003eThe bodice is where Ian Stuart really showed off his design skills. Long, ruched and beautifully controlled (as all his gowns are) it draws the eye down the body in that very deliberate Ian Stuart way. It shapes without squeezing, lengthens without trying too hard and gives you a feeling of being properly held in. (I know, I have a few of his evening gowns!) It’s clever design, not decoration. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1264\" data-start=\"1015\"\u003eFrom there, everything flows. The skirt builds with movement and volume where it’s needed, but it’s the line through the torso that really defines the whole look. That balance - between structure of the bodice and softness of the skirt - is what he always got right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1405\" data-start=\"1266\"\u003eAzure is for the bride who wants something a little off-script.
