Divine Reverie - Ian Stuart

"If ever a dress deserved its own ethereal soundtrack, it’s Divine Reverie. From the late, great Ian Stuart’s made-to-measure collection, she’s all chic drama and elegance, with just a touch of medieval enchantment.

Crafted from the softest ivory chiffon, this gown sculpts through the bodice and hips before flaring into a graceful train that pools behind you like mist on a moor. The wide scoop neckline drapes softly across the bust – romantic, goddess-like – with hand-beading adding subtle sparkle around the neckline, bodice and the tops of those utterly magical sleeves.

And the sleeves are the real spell: floaty angel sleeves with medieval-inspired drapes that beg for a dramatic swish, whether through a candlelit castle or simply down the aisle. Every detail carries Ian Stuart’s signature couture finish – structure, balance and the ability to make a true entrance.

An immaculate sample (with only the odd bead possibly missing, as is the way with beaded gowns), she was originally priced at over £3,000. Now she’s waiting for her first starring role – timeless, romantic and unforgettable."
