Coconut Ice – Catherine Davighi Couture

Sweet, sultry, and seriously sophisticated – Coconut Ice is the gown that proves romance doesn’t have to be demure.

Cut from 100% silk and layered with Catherine Davighi’s signature cobweb lace, this ivory slipper-satin ballgown has that rare mix of structure and softness that only true couture can deliver. The sweetheart neckline is ruched on the diagonal, drawing the eye to a decadent flourish of handmade satin roses and wisps of ostrich feather – dramatic, playful, and just the right amount of “ooh la la.”

The skirt is a work of art in itself: an asymmetrical lace overlay that parts gracefully to reveal the sumptuous silk beneath, gliding into a neat train that trails just long enough for a gasp as you turn. Covered buttons run down the bodice, adding that classic couture finish.

This is a sample gown in pristine condition, complete with its original labels – never altered, never walked down an aisle, and still radiating that “couture fresh” magic. Size 12 and ready to make an entrance that’s equal parts goddess and showgirl.

Beverley says, “This is the sort of gown that deserves a string quartet and a tray of champagne coupes. It’s opulent, romantic and just a touch rebellious – the kind of dress that makes even the most hardened cynic believe in happily ever after. I’d call it Grace Kelly meets Baz Luhrmann, and honestly… that’s my favourite kind of bride.”
