If Cinderella had commissioned Vivienne Westwood to design her gown, Etienne might have been the result.

This original Ian Stuart silk taffeta masterpiece is pure theatre — from the ruched, sculpted halterneck bodice (complete with that cheeky peek-a-boo garland of silk roses) to the unmistakable bubble-skirt bustle that gives her that signature Stuart silhouette. The bodice plunges into a V-shape that cinches the waist perfectly, the fabric enhanced with hand-sewn beads and sequins that glint like champagne under candlelight.

True to Ian’s genius, the structure underneath does all the hard work so you can simply glide. Covered buttons and loops trail neatly over the concealed zip, leading into that unforgettable skirt: layers of puffed silk forming a soft bustle, topped and tailed with more silk roses and finished in a dramatic bubble-hem train.

Every inch of this gown whispers “couture,” but she’s also gloriously fun — the kind of dress that swishes, photographs like a dream, and turns heads from ten paces.

A sample gown which has some signs of try ons but these marks are well camouflaged by the sheer volume of fabric in the skirts, she’s ready for her grand entrance.
